AI WORKFLOW AUTOMATIONS
Companies are desperately looking for ways to reduce repetitive work, and scale faster with AI. For you, the easiest way is to build these 5 in-demand AI workflow automations.
So, I sent my research agents through recent surveys, marketplaces, job listings, case studies, and online communities.
And I kept seeing the same 5 AI workflow automations come up. That got me interested. Because they have real buyers, real deployments, and measurable results.
Today, I’ll show you the data behind all 5, what I’d actually build for your portfolio, and if you’re starting from zero, I’ll tell you exactly which one I’d build first.
It’s my ranking based on the strongest evidence I could find. I’m not wasting your time, so let’s get straight into it.

AI HIGHLIGHTS
👔 After his wife lost her job, a man built a competing job board. It lets you upload a resume once, then continuously match with new jobs until you get one. Try it here.
🔍 Anthropic shared Claude data with Stanford, Oxford, and METR for research. Over half of chats studied involved high-stakes tasks. The full appendix is available here.
🦆 Hugging Face is selling a cute $399 open-source robot, Microduck. The tiny duck can walk, grab objects, recover from falls, and even skate. Playable out of the box.
🌌 A new startup, Accelerated Understanding, released an AI model that gets the 4D world (3D in space & time). It can process 5T data points to explore new science.
😂 Shopify’s CEO is considering banning Claude Code company-wide, saying it doesn’t fit smoothly into existing workflows. They should schedule that coffee chat!
🛡️ OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft & 100+ companies are teaming up against AI cyber threats. They’re calling for stronger defenses before things get worse.
💰 Big AI Acquisition: Nvidia is close to buying Hugging Face for $12.9B, gaining a major open-source AI hub and cloud platform while strengthening its grip on the AI ecosystem.

AI BREAKTHROUGH
Perplexity launched Portable Computer, a local AI agent that runs entirely on a user’s own machine instead of remote cloud servers. Main points:
The AI agent’s core components, including the planner, execution agent, and tool system, run locally.
Sensitive files stay on the device instead of being sent to the cloud.
Users can run long tasks, analyze large files, or work across code repositories without paying additional token costs.
Cloud models can still be used, but only with user approval for each step.
It connects with services like Google Drive, Gmail, GitHub, and Slack.
Portable Computer runs on NVIDIA DGX Spark using models such as PPLX 27B and Qwen 3.8 27B. It is currently available for Perplexity Pro and Max users on Linux.
Key takeaway: Perplexity is pushing AI agents toward a hybrid future where powerful assistants can run privately on personal hardware instead of relying entirely on centralized cloud infrastructure.
