What do you still do manually in 2026 that should be automated?

Question

I'm researching pain points around manual workflows that haven't been automated yet.Specifically looking for tasks where: - You do the same thing 5+ times a week - You've looked for a tool but nothing good exists - You'd pay $10-20/month if something just workedWhat's yours? Curious to hear both technical and non-technical answers.

I have nothing that fits that criteria exactly. I still write tests for test automation manually and that should be automated but new tests are only needed as features are created or retired, which is irregular and infrequent.

Tried a few workflow tools but most either break often or need more setup than the task itself. Would easily pay for something that just quietly handled all of that in the background.
