Ask HN: What tasks do you regularly automate or use digital assistance for?

I use Zapier a lot for automation.

Auto sync my business contacts to Insightly, GitHub issues for an open source project to a Trello board,Gumroad contacts to my MailChimp list, to name a few

The keyboard dictation feature in iOS is indispensable to me. It's about 90-95% accurate which is just enough for me to be able to generate any written communication faster.

Client followups. Deliverables.
