AI for Python Automation
Learn to automate everyday tasks with Python and AI — from file management and data processing to web scraping, APIs, and scheduled workflows.
What You'll Learn
- Write Python scripts that automate file and folder operations — renaming, organizing, backing up, and monitoring files
- Process and transform data in CSV, Excel, and JSON formats using pandas and openpyxl with AI-generated code
- Build web scrapers that extract structured data from websites using requests and BeautifulSoup
- Integrate with REST APIs to automate data retrieval, posting, and synchronization across services
- Create email and notification automation scripts that send alerts, reports, and scheduled messages
- Implement error handling, logging, and scheduling to make automation scripts reliable and production-ready
Course Syllabus
Who Is This For?
- Beginners who know basic Python and want to automate repetitive tasks at work or in personal projects
- Data analysts and office workers who spend hours on manual file handling, data entry, or report generation
- Developers who want to build practical automation scripts faster using AI assistance
Every day, millions of people spend hours on tasks a Python script could do in seconds: renaming files, processing spreadsheets, copying data between systems, sending routine emails, and checking websites for updates.
Python is the world’s most popular language for automation because it’s readable, has libraries for everything, and runs on any operating system. AI makes it even more powerful — you can describe what you want to automate in plain English and get a working script in seconds.
This course teaches you to build practical automation scripts for real problems. Each lesson produces a working script you can use immediately, and by the end, you’ll have a complete automation toolkit for your daily workflow.
What you’ll build: A portfolio of reusable automation scripts — file organizer, data processor, web scraper, API integrator, email notifier, and scheduled task runner — that you can adapt to any automation need.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much Python do I need to know before starting?
Basic Python: variables, loops, functions, and how to install packages with pip. You don't need to be an expert — AI helps you write the actual scripts. If you can write a simple for loop, you're ready.
What kinds of tasks can I automate?
Common automation targets: organizing files into folders, renaming hundreds of files at once, processing spreadsheets, scraping product prices or job listings from websites, sending scheduled email reports, pulling data from APIs, and backing up important files. Essentially, any repetitive task you do on a computer.
Do I need to install special software?
Just Python 3.8+ and pip (Python's package manager). All libraries used in this course are free and open source. You'll install specific libraries as needed in each lesson (pandas, requests, BeautifulSoup, etc.).
How does AI help with Python automation?
AI generates complete scripts from natural language descriptions ('write a script that renames all JPGs in a folder by date'), explains unfamiliar library functions, debugs errors, and suggests optimizations. You describe what you want automated, AI writes the first draft, and you refine it.
