automate

An automate is a machine that can do tasks on its own, like a robot. It's often used in factories or offices.

When we talk about automating something, we usually mean making it work by itself without human help. For example, if you have an automated car wash at home, it means the machines will clean your car without you having to manually spray water and soap on it. The same goes for automated vacuum cleaners that roam around on their own. Sometimes, automation is also used in offices, like with email marketing tools that send messages automatically when someone joins a list. It's all about making things easier and more efficient by letting machines do the work for us.
