Are you just 'pretending' to be good at your job? Yes, you heard that right. You're busy typing away all day, jumping from one back-to-back meeting to another, but when you're about to leave work and ask yourself, 'What did I actually accomplish today?', you can't quite answer. We call this 'fake work.' I've spent six 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: 'leverage.' Successful teams don't just grind away their personal time; they use systems and tools to generate 10, or even 100, times the results with just 1 unit of effort. The same now applies to individual success. In the AI era, competence isn't measured by 'how long you work,' but by 'how effectively you create overwhelming leverage with powerful tools.' The days when working overtime was a measure of diligence are completely over. While pondering this, I came across a video by Dan Martell, a 2 million-subscriber YouTuber and successful entrepreneur whom I admire. He says something very important in the video: 'The way to get rich in the AI era isn't by working harder, but by mastering the tools that reduce your work.' It was like a blow to the head. 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 our reality as PMs, planners, designers, marketers, and solo entrepreneurs as 'how to become an irreplaceable talent.' If you watch this video to the end, you will acquire three concrete weapons that will stop you from wasting time on simple, repetitive tasks and transform you into a key talent who can see to the core of any project. All without a developer, without a single line of code. Now, let's unveil the first weapon. The first tool is n8n, pronounced 'en-eight-en'. When you think of work automation, many of you might think of 'Zapier'. While it's a great tool, the costs can quickly add up as workflows become even slightly more complex. n8n offers much more powerful features and is an open-source automation tool 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 from 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 work reports. Are you spending all your crucial morning hours on Monday scraping your tasks from Jira and Asana to decorate a 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 of this manually, your time is being stolen from you. These are the very tasks that devalue your work—'fake work.' They are simple labor that requires neither creativity nor expertise. Now, look at the screen. This is n8n's workflow builder. It looks less like coding and more like assembling LEGO blocks. I'll show you a workflow I actually use. See this 'Typeform' node here? This workflow starts when a new feedback form is submitted. Following the arrow, you see I've connected an 'OpenAI' node to summarize the feedback text into just three lines and even perform sentiment analysis to see if it's positive or negative. Then, it sends the results to a 'Notion' node, which automatically stacks them neatly in a database. Simultaneously, a 'Slack' node sends a notification to the designated channel: 'New customer feedback has been registered!' along with the AI-generated summary. It takes about 30 minutes to set up this workflow once. But with this 30-minute investment, you'll save an hour every day moving forward. You evolve from someone who merely copies and pastes feedback to someone who 'derives insights based on AI-analyzed data.' Who do you think will be valued more highly? The answer is clear. The second tool is Lovable. Let's be honest, you all have at least 10 ideas for a service that you think, 'Ah, this would be a huge hit,' just sitting in your head, right? But why can't you execute them? Because you have to write a complex spec to explain it to the development team, ask a designer to draw up wireframes... The process is so long and complicated that the initial excitement fizzles out before the idea becomes a reality. Lovable completely destroys this process. It's a service where you build websites and apps by literally 'chatting' with an AI. Seeing is believing. I'll show you the process of me giving instructions to the AI myself. Okay, I'm now going to create a 'simple dashboard to manage our team's OKRs.' No coding, no Figma, nothing is needed. I just type in English here in Lovable's chat window. I'll type this: "Create the main screen. Set the title to 'CallitAI Q3 Goals' and show 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 adding three key results to each card, and add a progress bar next to each key result that can be adjusted 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. In the past, creating this one screen would have required a planning meeting, drawing it in Figma, and handing it off to a developer... a process that would have taken at least half a day. But now, it took less than a minute. And that's not all. When I type, "Add a dark mode toggle button in 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 a mockup. It's the experience of assembling a working web app by conversing with an AI. You no longer need to create a 50-slide PowerPoint to explain your idea. Just open Lovable and turn your ideas into reality with words. Whether it's an internal tool for your team or an MVP for customer validation, it can be anything.
The last and third tool is Atlas. This is the tool Dan Martell explained first and for the longest time. It's commonly used for capturing B2B sales leads, but I approach it from the perspective of 'automating initial customer interviews.' Imagine you've created 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 all of them and call them to schedule interviews? For a solo entrepreneur, it's a nearly impossible task. Atlas is a service where 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, records their answers, and even transcribes them into a text report. For example, you could input a script like this into Atlas. The AI makes 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,' '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 the raw answers from 100 people, collected this way, were perfectly organized on your Notion page the next morning? You could use this to 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 a 'building architect.' They allow you to focus your limited resources—your 'time' and 'effort'—on what truly matters: 'setting strategy, solving creative problems, and deeply connecting with customers.' This is the power of 'one who masters the tools' that Dan Martell talked about, and it's the key secret to not just surviving but overwhelmingly thriving in the AI era. Take a look at your to-do list today. And ask yourself this question: 'Which of these tasks can I delegate to AI?' The tools introduced today will be a powerful compass on your journey to find the answer to that question.
