# How to use Zapier at work—no matter your role or industry

At Zapier, we're working to democratize automation, and that means helping take care of your daily tasks no matter what you do for a living. No matter your job, we're willing to be there's something you can automate.

At Zapier, we want to help you automate your daily tasks to help you save time—no matter what you do for a living. Even if your job seems like it can't possibly be automated, we're willing to bet there are at least a few menial tasks that Zapier can take off your plate, so that you can stay focused on the things that matter.

Check out these guides that share five of our recommendations for how people in these roles can start automating their work. In each article, you'll find pre-made Zaps (our word for the automated workflows you create with Zapier) to help you get up and running in minutes.
