## About the AMA
Effective database tools like [Baserow](https://baserow.io/) can organize and centralize all kinds of information, but how to make use of that data in an effective way? Using automation! With automated workflows, you can integrate other tools with your databases so information flows automatically into the places you need it without relying on manual input and output.
But, like anything else, choosing to implement automation can come with challenges. That’s why we decided to conduct the **AMA with [Troy Tessalone](https://automationace.com) and help you to get answers to your burning questions about automation from the expert in real time.**
Hope you’ll find this event useful, and now let’s go through some important details on how this AMA works 👇
