Are you just 'pretending' to be productive? Yes, you heard that right. That moment when you've been busy typing and in back-to-back meetings all day, but when it's time to go home, you can't quite answer the question, 'What did I accomplish today?' We call this 'fake work'. I spent 6 years as a PM with a design background at an AI startup, launching and, yes, failing hundreds of projects. Through that process, I discovered the biggest difference between successful teams and stagnant ones. It's 'leverage'. Successful teams don't just grind away their personal time; they use systems and tools to get 10, no, 100 times the results from 1 unit of effort. The same goes for individual success now. Competence in the age of AI isn't about 'how long you work,' but 'how you create overwhelming leverage with powerful tools.' This means the era where working late was a measure of diligence is now completely over. While pondering this, I came across a video by Dan Martell, a businessman who has successfully built numerous companies and a YouTuber with 2 million subscribers whom I admire. He says something very important in the video: 'The way to get rich in the age of AI is not by working harder, but by mastering the tools that reduce work.' It really hit me. I thought, 'This is it.' So today, I want to take Dan Martell's grand theme of 'how to get rich' and reinterpret it for the reality of us PMs, planners, designers, marketers, and solopreneurs as 'how to become an irreplaceable talent'. If you watch today's video to the end, you'll gain three specific weapons to transform yourself from someone wasting time on simple, repetitive tasks into a key talent who sees the essence of a project. All without a developer or a single line of code. Now, let's unveil the first weapon. The first tool is n8n. Many of you might think of 'Zapier' when it comes to work automation. While it's a great tool, the cost can get quite steep as workflows become even slightly complex. n8n offers much more powerful features and is an open-source automation tool that you can even start using for free. If you install it on your own server, you can use it almost without limits. Now, let's take a look at your reality. Aren't you doing these kinds of tasks every day? First, processing customer feedback. You receive survey responses via Google Forms or Typeform, organize the results in Excel, copy the key points to Notion, and share them with the relevant department on Slack. You're probably spending at least 30 minutes a day on this process. Second, weekly progress reports. Are you spending all your crucial morning hours on Monday scraping your tasks from Jira and Asana to create a fancy PowerPoint or Notion page for your report? Third, new customer onboarding. When a customer pays for your service, you send a welcome email, register their information in your internal CRM, and send a Slack notification to the person in charge. If you're still doing all this manually, your time is being stolen from you. These are the very tasks that devalue you—the 'fake work.' It's simple labor that requires neither creativity nor expertise. Now, look at the screen. This is the n8n workflow builder. It doesn't look like coding; it's more like assembling LEGO blocks. Let me show you a workflow I actually use. See this 'Typeform' node here? When a new feedback is submitted, this workflow starts. Following the arrow, it connects to an 'OpenAI' node, which summarizes the incoming feedback text into just three lines and even performs a sentiment analysis to see if it's positive or negative. Then, it sends the results to a 'Notion' node to automatically stack them in a database. Simultaneously, a 'Slack' node sends a notification to the relevant channel: 'New customer feedback has been registered!' along with the AI-generated summary. It takes only 30 minutes to set up this workflow once. But with this 30-minute investment, you'll save an hour every day from now on, evolving from someone who just copies and pastes feedback to someone who 'derives insights based on AI-analyzed data.' Which person will be recognized for higher value? The answer is clear. The second tool is Lovable. Everyone, let's be honest. You have at least 10 ideas for a service tucked away in your head, thinking, 'Wow, this would be a huge hit.' But why can't you execute them? Because you have to write a complex plan to explain to the development team, ask a designer for wireframes... The process is so long and complicated that the excitement fizzles out before the idea becomes a reality. Lovable completely shatters this process. It's a service where you literally 'chat' with an AI to build websites and apps. Seeing is believing. Let me show you the process of me giving commands to the AI directly. Okay, I'm now going to create a 'simple dashboard to manage our team's OKRs.' No coding, no Figma, nothing. I'm just going to type in plain language here in Lovable's chat window. I'll type this: "Create the main screen. Set the title to 'CallitAI Q3 Goals' and display three objectives in a card format." Now, look at the screen. The basic structure is created in an instant. Amazing, right? Let's get a bit more detailed. I'll type again: "Allow three key results to be added to each card, and next to each key result, add a progress bar adjustable from 0% to 100%." Did you see that? The card UI on the screen updated instantly, and a functioning progress bar appeared. As a PM with a design background, this was truly shocking. A screen like this would have previously taken at least half a day—planning meetings, drawing it in Figma, handing it off to a developer... But now, it took less than a minute. And that's not all. When I type, "Add a dark mode toggle button to the top right corner," a dark mode toggle appears on the screen, and clicking it actually turns the screen dark. Are you getting the picture? This isn't just about creating mockups. It's the experience of assembling a working web app by talking to an AI. Now, you no longer need to create a 50-slide PowerPoint to explain your idea. Just open Lovable and turn your idea into reality with your words. Whether it's an internal tool for your team or an MVP for customer validation, anything is possible.
The third and final tool is Atlas. This is the tool Dan Martell explained first and at the greatest length. It's commonly used for capturing B2B sales leads, but I approach it from the perspective of 'automating initial customer interviews.' Imagine you've built an amazing service as a side project and have gathered 100 beta sign-ups. Listening to the voices of these 100 people is the key to success. But when are you going to email and call all of them to schedule interviews? For a solopreneur, it's a nearly impossible task. Atlas is a service that lets you hire an AI voice agent, or an 'AI voice assistant.' While you're sleeping, this AI assistant calls all 100 of your potential customers. It asks them questions we've pre-designed, receives their answers, transcribes them into text, and even creates a report. For example, you input a script like this into Atlas, and the AI makes the calls. The AI places the call like this: 'Hello, [Name]. This is the AI agent from CallitAI. Thank you for signing up for our beta service. May I ask you a few quick questions?' If the person says 'yes,' it continues, 'Thank you. What problem were you hoping to solve by signing up for our service?' 'What feature are you most excited about in our service?' What if 100 vivid answers collected this way were perfectly organized on your Notion page the next morning? Based on this, you can prioritize product development and refine your marketing messages. By automating the process of listening to your customers, you can understand market needs and improve your product 10 times faster than your competitors. Today, we've taken a deep dive into three tools: n8n for automating repetitive tasks, Lovable for turning ideas into reality, and Atlas for automating customer validation. Do you see what these three tools have in common? They transform you from a 'bricklayer' into the 'architect designing the building.' They allow you to focus your limited resources—your 'time' and 'effort'—on what's most valuable: essential work like 'setting strategy, solving creative problems, and deeply connecting with customers.' This is the power of 'the one who masters the tools' that Dan Martell talked about, and it's the key secret to not just surviving, but growing exponentially in the age of AI. Take a look at your to-do list today. And ask yourself this question: 'What here can I delegate to an AI?' The tools introduced today will be a powerful compass on your journey to find the answer.
