What the format is for
Automate and Tell is the place to show something working. A demo might be a home automation, a script, an n8n workflow, a sensor project, an integration between systems or a process somebody has improved at work. The project does not have to be polished, complicated or powered by AI. The point is to make the automation visible enough that other people can understand what starts it, what happens next and what you learned while building it.
People showing projects are encouraged to keep the presentation short. Explain the problem, show the automation, mention the tools or hardware, then talk about the part that took some figuring out. Failed attempts and changes made after testing are useful because they help other people understand what building the thing was actually like. Commercial case studies can fit too, provided confidential information and personal data stay out of the demo.
You do not need to present anything to attend. Automate and Tell should work just as well for somebody who is curious about automation and wants ideas. There is time for questions and informal conversation after the demos. The event is deliberately broader than AI: rules, triggers, scripts, APIs, sensors, controllers and ordinary software all count.
Little Automations on 20 October 2026 is the first Automate and Tell.
