In this talk I will describe a procedure for the automated building of simplified models starting from effective operators, and how this procedure was used to derive a large class of novel and historical neutrino-mass models. I will discuss some details of the algorithm before concentrating on the database of neutrino-mass models that it has produced. This will include a survey of some general features of the models and what they tell us about possible connections between the neutrino-mass mechanism, and other phenomena such as the flavour anomalies. I will conclude with possible future directions in automated model building and phenomenology. The talk will be broadly based on this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.13537.
