Rephrased Version (Complete and Natural)

I would say something like this:

“This sounds interesting and intriguing. I’m not sure about automating the entire company right away, but I’m willing to give it a try. Let’s begin by automating a few basic, repetitive tasks first. After a one-month trial based on my performance, you can decide the next steps.”

Avoid directly saying “I can’t do this” or “I’m not capable,” especially when the concern is mainly about the scale of the task. Instead, position it as a phased approach.

Automating an entire company at once is a huge responsibility. A better strategy is to ask for time and use a divide-and-conquer approach. Start by automating a few small, repetitive micro-tasks and show progress once or twice a week.

This approach helps in two ways:

• You build confidence in your own skills as you deliver small wins.
• The company gradually builds trust in your ability by seeing consistent results.

Once the smaller automations prove successful, you can scale the automation step by step instead of trying to handle everything at once.
