The "10K Rule":

If you can organically build something to 10K subscribers, 10K email list, or $10K profit, then you are set for life.

Not for the audience or money specifically, but for the skills you develop on the way & the persistence required to get there.

Knowing you can do it gives you the confidence you can do anything in life.

the AI ecosystem runs on manufactured FOMO right now

"if you're not using this, you're falling behind"

and you're drowning in your own timeline, paralyzed by choice

here's how you should approach this:

first, stop implementing every shiny release... don't waste time setting up stuff that you don't even understand

start asking yourself: does this fundamentally change how i work?

It makes my life very simple, I don’t need much to be happy, in fact I need nothing, literally writing this tweet makes me happy

Is this something we’re born with or can anyone be happy by creating?

I just whipped out my wallet.

And instantly paid for a Mac app called Willow Voice.

Somehow, they built 100x better dictation than Apple, a multi-trillion dollar company.

That's the beauty of building in AI. Massive companies like Apple too scared and too slow to fix things like Siri for years.

That's where we win.

AI Disruption Opportunities

10 companies identified as potential AI disruption targets

1. Insightful — Score: 15/20

Revenue: ~$NaN/mo MRR
What they do: Web-based platform for monitoring in-office, hybrid, and remote team performance with comprehensive analytics and reports.[1]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 4/5 Established product, likely pre-AI
High Pricing 3/5 Pricing unknown
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (8 complaints found)

AI Angle: Insightful, a workforce monitoring platform reliant on rule-based tracking of apps, screenshots, and activity logs, faces significant disruption from AI due to its manual-heavy processes and lack of advanced intelligence.[1][2][5][6]

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate Insightful depends on rigid, rules-based mechanisms like manual productivity labeling (categorizing apps/websites as productive/unproductive), configurable screenshot policies, idle detection via keyboard/mouse activity, and scheduled/exportable reports.[1][2][3][5] AI could automate these as follows:

Confidence: Medium

2. monday.com — Score: 14/20

Revenue: ~$100.0M ARR
What they do: Visually appealing interface with customizable automations for intuitive project tracking across teams.[1][2]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 4/5 Significant manual component
Old Tech Stack 4/5 Established product, likely pre-AI
High Pricing 1/5 Very low price ($9/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: **monday.com faces moderate AI disruption risk due to its proactive integration of AI features like monday Magic, Vibe, Sidekick, and Agent Factory, which already automate key workflows and enhance stickiness, but an AI-first competitor could erode its market by offering deeper autonomy, lower costs

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate monday.com relies on user-configured automations and low-code tools for project tracking, but several manual steps remain ripe for full AI takeover:

Confidence: Medium

3. Wrike — Score: 14/20

Revenue: ~$274.7M ARR
What they do: Enterprise-grade tool with robust portfolio management, dependencies, and comprehensive reporting for complex projects.[1]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 5/5 Legacy product, ripe for disruption
High Pricing 1/5 Very low price ($9/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: Wrike faces limited short-term disruption from AI due to its proactive integration of AI agents, WorkGraph data model, and connected intelligence features like MCP Server and Copilot, which already automate key workflows and address industry silos. However, a **high disruption opportunity exists

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate Wrike's robust portfolio management, dependencies, and reporting still involve manual elements that AI can target:

Confidence: Medium

4. Connecteam — Score: 14/20

Revenue: ~$49,000/mo MRR
What they do: All-in-one workforce management with scheduling, communication, and task features.[6]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 3/5 Unknown tech stack
High Pricing 3/5 Standard pricing ($49/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (8 complaints found)

AI Angle: ### AI Disruption Analysis for Connecteam

Clone this because: Connecteam, an all-in-one mobile-first platform for frontline workforce management, faces moderate to high disruption risk from AI due to its reliance on semi-automated tools like drag-and-drop scheduling and basic task tracking, which AI could fully automate at lower operational costs.[1][2][6] While it already incorporates some AI for scheduling and busywork reduction, an AI-first competitor

Confidence: Medium

5. Sling — Score: 14/20

Revenue: ~$NaN/mo MRR
What they do: Fast shift trade updates and team scheduling app with mobile functionality.[1]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 3/5 Unknown tech stack
High Pricing 3/5 Pricing unknown
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: AI could significantly disrupt Sling, a mobile-first app for shift scheduling, time tracking, and team communication, by automating manual inputs and optimizing decisions in ways its rule-based, drag-and-drop system cannot match at scale[1][3][4].

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate Sling relies on human managers for core tasks like creating schedules via drag-and-drop templates, approving shift trades/time-off requests, assigning tasks, and monitoring overlaps or "clopening" shifts (close-then-open without rest)[1][4][6]. AI could automate these:

Confidence: Medium

6. Smartsheet — Score: 13/20

Revenue: ~$66.0M ARR
What they do: Work management platform for streamlining tasks, collaboration, and productivity with spreadsheets and automation.[3]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 4/5 High revenue suggests mature product
High Pricing 1/5 Very low price ($7/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: Smartsheet faces limited near-term disruption from AI due to its proactive integration of generative AI, agentic AI, and a Knowledge Graph into its platform, as evidenced by 2025-2026 updates like Smart Assist, Smart Agents, and Smart Flows. These enhancements enable intelligent work management

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate Smartsheet already automates many traditional manual tasks through AI, reducing disruption risk:

Confidence: Medium

7. Trello — Score: 13/20

Revenue: ~$NaN/mo MRR
What they do: Visual kanban board tool for organizing tasks, teams, and collaborative projects.[3]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 4/5 Established product, likely pre-AI
High Pricing 1/5 Very low price ($5/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: # AI Disruption Analysis: Trello's Vulnerability and Competitive Threats

Clone this because: Trello faces moderate-to-high disruption risk from AI-native competitors, though its simplicity and integration ecosystem provide defensive advantages. The company is actively adopting AI features but remains fundamentally a visual interface layer rather than an intelligent work management system. ## 1. Manual Processes Ripe for AI Automation

Confidence: Medium

8. Zoho Projects — Score: 13/20

Revenue: ~$NaN/mo MRR
What they do: Affordable project management with built-in time tracking, task dependencies, and Gantt charts for small teams.[1][6]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 4/5 Established product, likely pre-AI
High Pricing 1/5 Very low price ($4/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: Zoho Projects faces moderate disruption risk from AI, primarily through agentic AI automating core project management workflows, but Zoho's in-house AI integrations like Zia reduce immediate threats by evolving it into an AI-enhanced platform.[1][3][5]

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate AI, especially agentic AI, can replace manual tasks in Zoho Projects' features like time tracking, task dependencies, and Gantt charts:

Confidence: Medium

9. Jira Software — Score: 13/20

Revenue: ~$NaN/mo MRR
What they do: Agile powerhouse for IT and software development teams using Scrum or Kanban workflows.[1]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 4/5 Established product, likely pre-AI
High Pricing 1/5 Very low price ($7/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: **Jira Software faces limited near-term disruption from AI due to Atlassian's aggressive integration of tools like Atlassian Intelligence and Rovo, which automate key workflows and position it as an AI-augmented leader rather than a laggard.[1][2][3] However, a high-disruption opportunity exists for

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate AI can target repetitive tasks in Jira's Scrum/Kanban workflows, building on Atlassian's existing features but pushing toward full autonomy:

Confidence: Medium

10. 7shifts — Score: 12/20

Revenue: ~$NaN/mo MRR
What they do: Best workforce scheduling software for restaurants with bulk editing and performance reporting.[1]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 1/5 Already AI-powered
High Pricing 3/5 Pricing unknown
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (8 complaints found)

AI Angle: Yes, 7shifts faces significant disruption risk from AI, particularly through automation of scheduling and forecasting, potentially enabling lower-cost competitors with superior predictive accuracy and minimal human oversight.

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate AI can replace several labor-intensive steps in 7shifts' workflow, which relies on drag-and-drop interfaces, manual approvals, and rule-based alerts[1][2][6]:
