You’ve optimized the “how”—documentation takes 2 hours instead of 6, research happens in 90 minutes instead of days. This Is Impressive. 🌸But nowhere in this piece do you address one other fundamental question: Are you documenting the right products? Researching the right competitors? Building prototypes for problems worth solving?
The real power of AI isn’t making you faster at what you’re already doing—it’s creating space to ask whether you should be doing those things at all. You’ve reclaimed 15 hours. The critical question isn’t how did you do it? but what are you doing with that time?
Well, answering all of those questions could be a whole new series of at least five posts! 😆 I see what you mean, and I agree. And yes, this piece is meant for people who already have their process but need help freeing up time from mundane activities. Of course, "mundane" doesn't mean "unimportant." But it's well known in this area that the role can sometimes consume a lot of personal time.
Personally, no matter what framework we use or whether we use AI, we should be able to answer these fundamental questions beforehand. Maybe AI can enlighten you a little, as you said, but introducing X framework or AI will not guarantee success outside of automation.
I love the reflection that you sparked! Maybe we should collaborate on some of these topics. :)
At work I rely at power automate, it has improved a lot and it is very helpful to set reminders or bots on Teams. We use Microsoft suite so not much I can do on that.
For presentations I like Napkin for the infographics and someone recommended me nano banana this week. Looks good so I’ll check that out!
We use Microsoft too, let me check out Power Automate next. I was using Lovable just a while back to get something prototyped… so thanks again for all the pointers!
Good stuff. I'm doing ai safety for humans. Thanks for sharing. I'm a 30+ year product owner. Now building solutions on AI. Feel free to reach out if you want to discruss AI ci/CD pipelines moving too fast. Or AI workflows in software lifestyle. Or how to do any of it on AI safely. CyberInnovate.me
Hey Brian, thanks for reaching out good to know! The safety/security is an area the we, as product people, need to explore and take care of it always, but it’s often forgotten. I’ll look more into your writing. :)
This is a masterclass in building an AI-powered workflow that actually works. The way you connect tools across work, life, and learning isn’t just clever, it’s a blueprint for reclaiming hours every week.
I'm going to check out those tools! They seem super helpful.
Great, let me know how it works for you, Mike! :)
Thank you, this was a great read. Awesome.

Wonderful collection, and well put together!
Do you use other tools tools for any other (smaller-gains perhaps!) work - thinking presentations and the like?

Really enjoyed this post :)
Many thanks Joel!

Yes, the best part is the amount of time that you regain to keep learning or do anything else you want. 🎮
Thanks, Suhrab!
Elena - great recommendations, I will be checking out some new platforms here! Thank you
