Looking for the best Black Friday deals on automation and AI tools? I’m keeping this list of the deals I’d actually buy, on the tools I use myself.
2026 deals aren’t published yet. We’ll update this page when they are, but here are some I’m keeping my eye on.
Kit
Kit (it used to be ConvertKit) is my favorite email and marketing automation tool, and I use it not just for this newsletter but for several of my brands. You can read why in my guide to the best automation software.
Last year: 60 percent off the first three months of the Creator plan, for new accounts and people on the free plan.
This year: Not announced yet. I’ll add it here as soon as it’s live.
Home Automation and Lighting
I almost never have to turn off my own lights anymore because of the automations I’ve set up with my Lutron Caseta light switches.
Lutron is the best lighting system for automations, but it’s a little pricey, so it’s especially nice when it goes on sale. Lutron’s Black Friday discounts are usually small, so this is one to watch on Amazon rather than count on.
Check the Lutron Caseta starter kit’s price here.
Another key piece of my home automation system is our Ring cameras, which are ideal for triggering outdoor lights. (Here’s my guide to outdoor lighting automations.)
This year: Ring’s early Black Friday sale runs November 2 to 30. I’ll add the best camera deal here once it starts.
Check the Ring Floodlight Cam here.
Robot Vacuums and Mops
Vacuuming is the number one task on the hit list, the chores readers would love to never do again, so it’s the easiest one on this page to automate today. Black Friday is always a great time to buy a robot vacuum, and some early deals are already live.
My pick is the one I own. I’ve had the Eufy X10 Omni Pro for about two years, and I can’t imagine living without it now because of how much easier (and cleaner) it makes our house.
Check the Eufy X10 Omni Pro’s price here.
If you want something simpler and cheaper, a basic Roomba is tried and true and a great starter vacuum.
Check the Roomba’s price here.
I’ll add this year’s best robot vacuum and mop deals here as they go live.
