We might be cooked.

An ex-optician built 3 apps that make a combined $35K/month.

The playbook:

  1. Identify people flexing their MRR on X
  2. Rebuild those apps 1% better.
  3. Analyze and copy distribution channels of larger competitors

7 companies identified as potential AI disruption targets

1. Wrike — Score: 17/20

Revenue: 100 G2 reviews
What they do: Enterprise-grade project management with robust portfolio views and reporting.[1][3]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 4/5 Significant manual component
Old Tech Stack 5/5 Legacy product, ripe for disruption
High Pricing 3/5 Pricing unknown
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: Wrike, an enterprise-grade project management platform with robust portfolio views and reporting, faces limited short-term disruption from AI due to its proactive integration of AI features like Work Intelligence™, AI agents, and predictive analytics, but long-term opportunities exist for AI

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate Wrike already automates many manual processes through its AI tools, reducing disruption potential, but gaps remain in fully agentic, context-aware execution:

However, long

Revenue: ~$40.0M ARR
What they do: Personalized multichannel email outreach for sales teams and agencies with image/video customization.[3]

Manual Processes 4/5 Significant manual component
Old Tech Stack 1/5 Already AI-powered
High Pricing 4/5 Mid-high pricing ($59/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: # AI Disruption Analysis: Lemlist's Vulnerability

Clone this because: Lemlist faces moderate-to-high disruption risk from AI-first competitors, primarily because the company has already integrated AI into its core offering, making it vulnerable to commoditization and margin compression. The real disruption opportunity lies not in automating what Lemlist already does, but in fundamentally restructuring the sales outreach workflow. ## 1. Manual Processes Lemlist S

AI Angle: # AI Disruption Analysis: Encharge

Clone this because: Encharge faces significant disruption risk from AI-powered competitors that could automate workflow design, reduce setup complexity, and offer intelligent automation at lower costs. The company's core value—translating user behavior into email sequences—is precisely what generative AI excels at, creating a direct threat to its visual flow builder and manual segmentation approach. ## Manual Process

Old Tech Stack 3/5 Unknown tech stack
High Pricing 1/5 Very low price ($7/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: ClickUp faces moderate disruption risk from AI, as its dense, task-centric platform could be challenged by lighter, AI-first alternatives that automate more deeply and reduce cognitive overhead, though its integrated ClickUp Brain provides some defense.[1][2][3]

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate ClickUp relies heavily on manual task creation, status updates, prioritization, and reporting, which AI agents can fully handle:
