Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you wanted to know about Automation4MI, the guides, the tools and the community — in one place.
General
What is Automation4MI?
A knowledge hub for AI and automation, with over 90 practical guides, structured learning tracks, tool comparisons and case studies of systems that were actually built. The emphasis is on what you can put to work today rather than on general surveys of the field. The site is written in Hebrew first and mirrored into English under
/en/; that is why a few of the newest pages exist in Hebrew only.
Is the content free?
Yes, all of it. Every guide, every course and every case study is open to anyone, with no account and no payment. There is no locked content on this site. Buying Pro removes the ads and nothing else — it does not unlock further material, because there is no further material to unlock.
Who is the site for?
Three groups, mainly. People who want to start using AI in everyday work and want an explanation that does not assume a technical background. Business owners automating repetitive processes — forms, leads, content — without hiring a developer. And developers and technologists after deeper material on RAG, AI agents, model security and running models locally. Every guide is marked with a level at the top of the page.
Do I need a technical background?
It depends on the guide. A large part of the content needs none at all: using ChatGPT, writing, generating images, visual automation in Make or n8n. Other parts do — guides on LangChain, on running models locally, or on LLM security assume familiarity with Python and the command line. The level is marked at the top of every guide so you do not discover it halfway through.
How often is new content published?
New guides go up regularly, and existing ones are updated when a tool changes or when code stops working. In a field moving at this pace the updating matters at least as much as the publishing — a guide that has gone stale does more harm than good. The last-updated date appears at the top of every guide.
Is everything available in English?
Most of it. Hebrew is the primary language — that is where the content is written and where it goes deepest — and most pages have an English version here under
/en/, reachable from the language button in the menu. Some of the newest material exists in Hebrew only for now, and a few pages are still shorter in English than in Hebrew while the translation catches up.
Can I reuse the content?
For personal and educational use, freely. You are welcome to copy code from the guides into your own projects, commercial ones included. Republishing the guides themselves, in whole or in part, requires credit and a link back to the source. For broader commercial use, get in touch.
Guides & Tools
Which tools does the site cover?
Models and assistants: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek and Grok. Automation: n8n, Make.com and Zapier. Development: Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, LangChain and LlamaIndex. Creative work: Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, ElevenLabs and Suno. Infrastructure: Pinecone and vector databases, local running with Ollama. There is also a good deal that is not a tool at all — RAG, embeddings, prompt engineering, model security and evaluation.
How are the recommended tools chosen?
By actual use. A tool that has not been tried does not get recommended, and where the conclusion is that a tool is not worth its price, that is what the page says. Some links to tools are marked as affiliate links. As of today none of them is active — they point at the tool's own site and we receive nothing for them. Even once they are approved, a commission will not change a ranking or what is written about a tool. The full statement is on the affiliate disclosure page.
Does the code in the guides actually work?
Code that appears in a guide is code that was run, not a snippet copied out of documentation. Where something only works on a particular version or under particular conditions, that is stated next to the code. That said — libraries change and APIs move, so if something has stopped working, that is exactly the most useful report you can send through the contact page.
What is the difference between a guide, a learning track and a case study?
A guide stands on its own and covers one subject in depth. A learning track is a sequence of guides in a recommended order, for someone learning a field rather than solving one specific problem. A case study documents a system that was actually built — including the decisions, what broke, and what ended up never being deployed. The case studies are the hardest material to find elsewhere, precisely because they include the parts that did not work.
Why is there no “best tool” ranking?
Because it would be wrong within a month, and because the honest answer to “which is best” is almost always “for what, and at what volume”. The comparisons here set out where tools genuinely differ and which one fits which situation. That is more useful than an ordered list, and it stays true for longer.
I found a mistake in a guide. What should I do?
Write in through the contact page, ideally with a link to the page and what looks wrong. Reports of inaccuracy take priority over every other kind of message: they get fixed, and the update date at the top of the guide changes accordingly. In a field that moves this fast, code that has stopped working is the single most useful report anyone can send.
Why are there guides about attacking AI systems?
They are defensive guides, not offensive ones. To protect a system against prompt injection you have to understand how the injection works — much as you cannot defend against SQL injection without knowing what it is. Most of the length of each such page is given over to the defences, there are no attack tools or ready-made phrasings for use against other people's systems, and every one of those pages opens by saying so. Attacking a system that is not yours is a criminal offence.
Pro, Account & Privacy
What does Pro give me?
Purchases are paused at the moment, so Pro cannot be bought. While it was on sale it did one thing: it removed the advertising across the whole site, permanently. Pro does not unlock content, does not grant early access and does not include priority support — all the content and all the support are available to everyone anyway. Buying Pro means paying to read without ads and to help keep the site running.
What does it cost, and is it a subscription?
Purchases are paused, so there is nothing to pay. All the content on the site is open and free with no account and no payment, exactly as it has always been — Pro never unlocked content, it only removed advertising. Anyone who bought Pro previously keeps their entitlement in full.
How do I pay?
There is currently no way to pay — purchases are paused. If they reopen, payment will go through PayPal. Access is enabled automatically as soon as the payment is confirmed; if it has not appeared after a few minutes, refresh the settings page, and if it still has not, write in and it will be sorted out by hand.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
Since this is a one-off purchase rather than a subscription, there is nothing to cancel — there is no future charge. If something went wrong with the payment, or access was not enabled, get in touch and it will be dealt with, including a refund in the case of an incorrect charge.
Do I need to register to read?
No. All the content is open without an account. An account is only needed to save preferences and to enable Pro after a purchase.
What data does the site collect about me?
Very little. Aggregate usage data through Google Analytics, plus whatever you provide yourself in the contact form or when signing up to the mailing list. Analytics and advertising cookies are switched off by default until you accept them in the banner, and that choice is stored in your browser only. You can change it at any time through the cookie settings link at the foot of every page. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Who writes the content?
The site is written and maintained by one person — Babush, a software engineer working in cyber and information security at a financial organisation. He writes under a nickname rather than a full name, because his professional work is unrelated to the site. The email address on the contact page is real and he is the one who reads it. There is more on the about page.
Is the content written with AI?
A fair question on a site about AI, and the answer is that AI tools are used in the work — for drafting, editing and checking — but the decisions about what goes into a guide, what is correct and what is not, are human, as is the experience it rests on. A guide written entirely by a model would contain exactly what this site is trying to avoid: the average of the internet, including confidently invented detail. So any figure, price or version that cannot be verified against an official source does not go in.
How do I get in touch?
Through the contact page. Messages are usually answered within 24–48 hours. Reports of an error in a guide, of code that has stopped working, or of a broken link are handled first — that is the kind of message that helps the site most.
