What if every Monday morning, before you opened a single app, you already knew exactly what was overdue and what was due this week — delivered straight to Slack? That's what a simple automation can do. Here's how I built it.

You try three AI tools, get mildly useful results from one, feel vaguely overwhelmed by all of it, and go back to doing things the way you were doing them before. This is a completely normal response to an abnormal amount of noise. Here's a more grounded take.

I have a rule I hold myself to: every client should always know where my time is going and why. The problem was executing on that consistently without it eating my Friday afternoon. So I built something to fix it.

AI genuinely is useful. I use it in my own work and I help founders integrate it into theirs. But there's something important missing from most of the hype: AI doesn't fix broken processes. It amplifies whatever's already there.
