In this high-energy pop-up episode from Imagine AI Live 2025, Chris Madden sits down with AI workflow strategist Alex Northstar to unpack how automation can reclaim time, boost team productivity, and keep creators focused on what matters most. Alex shares his process for identifying repetitive tasks, implementing AI-driven solutions, and empowering people — from Fortune 500 teams to 15-year-old students — with personalized systems that save hours every week. They dive into voice agents, content automation, and his signature “10-80-10” method for blending human input with AI muscle. From Make.com and n8n to custom ChatGPT assistants, Alex proves that automation doesn’t have to be overwhelming — it just needs to be human-centered.
