Hello, this is CallitAI, bringing you raw productivity for the AI native.
Everyone, today I'm going to lay out all fifteen AI tools that can help you build a million-dollar business without hiring more staff. What, you think I'm just going to share some obvious ChatGPT tips? haha Absolutely not. These are the AI services that Dan Martell, a YouTuber with 2 million subscribers and an entrepreneur, revealed he uses in his own business. These are the real-deal tools he's applying to dozens of companies right now to insanely boost productivity and leave competitors in the dust.
Alright, let's start with the first tool that will grow your company into a million-dollar business. It's Fathom.
Fathom is a meeting assistant that records entire meetings, transcribes them into text, and summarizes the key points.
Why is this insane? Imagine having a professional stenographer in every meeting. It remembers every statement, every document, every discussion point, and every to-do item without missing a thing, and then organizes it for you the moment the meeting ends. No more arguing about who said what.
From a PM's perspective, you'll really relate to this. How often do you get so caught up in taking minutes that you miss the important discussion? You could even blow a massive opportunity that way. But with Fathom, you can focus entirely on the meeting.
It even automatically extracts action items and sends the next steps to all attendees based on their roles. You can just ask Fathom, 'What did our sales lead say? What was the revenue update?' It will find the answers in seconds.
Honestly, people who don't use tools like this are just making their work harder. This is the beginning of organizational AI. When all your team's meeting content is recorded and stored as data, you can eventually just ask the AI. 'Give me a conversational summary of what happened at our company today,' and you're done.
Now, before we move on to the next tool, I really want to say this. The jobs of the future will shift from being doers to being conductors. The people who understand what AI can do and conduct the entire flow of the business will be the ones who grow the fastest and gain the most wealth. You need to become a world-class conductor. And that's why these tools are so important.
The second tool is Zapier.
This is probably the tool I've used the longest out of all the ones I'm introducing today, and I'm always amazed by Zapier's capacity for innovation. Simply put, it's a tool that connects all the apps you use to automate your workflows. It makes information flow seamlessly, and once you set it up, you can create a process that runs 24/7 on its own, even while you're sleeping on vacation.
If you want to build a million-dollar business, you absolutely must automate the system that delivers value to your customers.
I recently saw a company making 25 billion KRW in annual revenue with this. They were a company that builds AI apps, but their process was actually quite simple. They charge a customer 8 million KRW, send them a questionnaire with the necessary questions for app creation. When the customer fills it out, Zapier takes that information and automatically passes it to an AI that codes the app. Then the AI does the coding, sends an email to the customer for review, receives three revisions, and updates the app... this entire process was automated with Zapier. That's what I'm talking about.
When someone buys a product, you can automate all the administrative tasks with Zapier: sending an onboarding link email, creating all the necessary internal tasks when a customer fills out a form, scheduling meetings, notifying the team, and registering them in the payment system. Just by mastering this, you can save at least twenty-five hours a week.
The third tool is Gemloop.
At first glance, it might seem similar to Zapier. But the reason every department in our company uses it is that it visualizes processes and workflows, and based on that, the AI makes 'decisions'. This is where Zapier falls a bit short. Gemloop can branch and execute tasks on its own without me having to define every single rule.
PMs who come from a design background will find this tool especially intuitive, because the process is laid out visually like a diagram. We use this to handle all of our financial automation—from expense processing and bank account verification to purchase order approvals. It's all possible because the AI makes the decisions. The same goes for recruitment. You can automate all the time-wasting tasks like resume analysis, video processing, and interview scheduling.
The fourth tool is Cursor.
This tool is a perfect fit for our channel's concept, VibeCoding. In short, it's an AI-powered code editor. You just make a request in natural language, and it whips up code that you can immediately apply to your live service.
The other day, I saw someone from our finance team coding, so I asked how they knew how to code. They said they were using Cursor. haha I was genuinely shocked. Code is leverage. It lets you ship features faster, fix bugs faster, and frees your team from unprofitable busywork.
We usually call a highly skilled developer who does the work of ten others a '10x programmer.' Now with Cursor, you don't need to spend 2.5 billion KRW to pay ten developers 250 million KRW each annually. One developer using Cursor can achieve the productivity of ten, and the code quality will be ten times better.
Microsoft's CEO said that within 9 to 12 months, ninety percent of their code will be written by AI. Cursor is the platform that makes that possible. Of course, another tool could come out tomorrow. That's why you always have to keep up with the latest AI trends.
The fifth tool is NotebookLM.
You've probably heard of Gemini, Google's AI. Well, someone inside Google created this NotebookLM, and it was so powerful that it was released as a separate tool. It's your personal research and thinking partner.
I use it a lot to analyze investment contracts or to come up with creative ideas. Recently, I fed it all the board materials for a company where I'm a director and used it to generate sharp questions to ask the CEO. It was absolutely insane.
If you're a marketer, you can input all your past campaign results and ask it to act like a branding strategist based on the most successful campaigns. It can generate new campaign ideas, logo designs, and ad copy drafts in an instant. Our media team inputs transcripts of everything I've said, analyzes them to extract my common analogies, stories, and unique perspectives, and then we co-create new content based on that.
Sixth, Deep Research with ChatGPT.
What makes this completely different from other language models is its ability to access real-time web data and conduct market research by generating AI reports.
Let me tell you an insane use case that I use almost every day, but nobody talks about. haha Let's say you want to be on a certain podcast. Say you want to connect with me. You ask the AI: 'I want to connect with a person named Dan Martell. Find five people I know who can introduce me to him.' The AI will then analyze your entire social network and find five people you already know who can build that bridge to me.
And here's the best part. If you ask it to explain the connection and even write the message to send to your friend asking for an introduction, it does it all in five to six minutes. This is something that five people couldn't do even if they worked on it for three weeks.
Most people think they're using ChatGPT, but they're still stuck on pre-4.0 models. The upcoming ChatGPT-O version will be a complete game-changer, especially in this area of deep research.
Seventh, Claude. Eighth, Revio. Ninth, Chatade. Tenth, Ikon. Eleventh, Gamma. Twelfth, Precision. Thirteenth, Atlas. Fourteenth, n8n. And the fifteenth and final tool, Lovable.
