Joe's presentation is a practical guide for Mac users who want to work more efficiently. He demonstrates how to save time and effort and avoid unnecessary errors using automation techniques. The presentation is designed to be accessible and beneficial to users of all experience levels.
 
You can begin by making the most of productivity features such as Siri, Spotlight (for launching apps), and text replacement?and then move on to the more sophisticated automation tools built into macOS, such as Shortcuts, Automator, AppleScript, services, and shell scripts.
