7 AI Automations Every Ambitious Should Master in 2025

…and how I accidentally found an HR email using AI and got a reply 😂

Me, setting up 7 automations while my AI robots work harder than I ever did 😂

In 2025, time is the new currency.
Most people waste it sending 200 job applications, scrolling LinkedIn endlessly, and waiting for replies that never come. I used to be one of them… until I discovered AI automation.
Now I spend less time chasing opportunities and more time creating them. And yeah, one time I accidentally found a hidden HR email using AI, sent a cold message, and actually got a reply 😂 
(More on that in a second.)

1. Automate Networking & Job Outreach 🚀

If you’re still manually hunting for HR emails… stop, bro.
AI does it better, faster, and funnier. Here’s what happened to me:
I applied for a Generative AI Intern position at Eczacıbaşı Holding.
The problem? 500+ applicants.
I needed to stand out.

So, I fired up Apollo AI and built an automation:

• Found HR specialists & recruiters in seconds
• Grabbed verified emails instantly
• Wrote a personalized cold email using GPT
• Click. Send. Done.

And then… BOOM.
 Within 24 hours, an HR specialist replied: “I don’t even know how you found my email, but respect 😂.” I laughed for 10 minutes straight.
The position was already filled, BUT…

• I built a direct connection inside the company
• Got an open invitation for future roles

That’s what automation does.
Not magic. Just leverage.

📌 Use the Apollo AI-generated thumbnail we created
Caption: “Yes, this actually happened 😂 Thanks, Apollo.” She also said if I find another role to let her know and trust me bro,
if I land an offer from Eczacıbaşı one day, I’ll write a full breakdown here 😎 Stay tuned.
