I feel like in a few years this might be seen as the start of a new type of publishing.

74 million views of this thing at the time of writing this.

It’s extremely easy to read just by scrolling, which is peoples favorite format today anyway.

There was no friction of going to buy a book. Which most people don’t do anyway.

What if there were a read this to me button on every post or at least every long post like this which turned it essentially into an audiobook/personal podcast?

Ultimately...

AI Disruption Opportunities

6 companies identified as potential AI disruption targets

1. ClickUp — Score: 15/20

Revenue: 100 G2 reviews
What they do: Extensive native features for task management, project planning, and productivity enhancement.[5]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 4/5 Significant manual component
Old Tech Stack 5/5 Legacy product, ripe for disruption
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, primarily through automation of its core manual task management processes and the emergence of lighter, AI-first competitors offering similar value at lower costs, though its ongoing AI integrations like ClickUp Brain mitigate some threats.[1][2][4

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate ClickUp's feature-dense design relies on users manually handling tasks, statuses, assignees, due dates, time tracking, resource allocation, and agile reporting, which AI can largely automate.[1] Specific opportunities include:

Confidence: Medium

2. Wrike — Score: 15/20

Revenue: ~$NaN/mo MRR
What they do: Enterprise-grade work management with advanced dashboards, analytics, and cross-team visibility.[1][5]

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 3/5 Mixed user sentiment

AI Angle: Wrike faces moderate disruption risk from AI, as it has already integrated AI features like Work Intelligence®, Copilot, Agents, project risk prediction, automations, summaries, and content generation, reducing immediate vulnerabilities in core functionalities.[1][2][3][5] However, deeper AI dis

3. Smartsheet — Score: 14/20

Revenue: 100 G2 reviews
What they do: Spreadsheet-like interface with automation, reporting, and dashboards for familiar productivity workflows.[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: **Smartsheet faces limited near-term disruption from AI due to its proactive adoption of an AI-first platform, including a Knowledge Graph, Smart Assist, Smart Flows, and agentic AI features like Project Manager Smart Agents, which already automate key workflows and provide contextual intelligence.[

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate Smartsheet's spreadsheet-like interface still involves some manual steps in setup, data entry, and oversight, but its recent AI updates target these aggressively:

Confidence: Medium

4. GMass — Score: 14/20

Revenue: ~$12.95/mo MRR
What they do: Gmail-based mass email outreach tool for personalized campaigns and automation.[3]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 1/5 Already AI-powered
High Pricing 5/5 Premium price ($145/mo) invites disruption
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (9 complaints found)

AI Angle: Yes, GMass faces significant disruption risk from AI, as its core value—Gmail-integrated personalization, automation, and tracking—can be enhanced or replaced by generative AI for content creation, recipient matching, and predictive optimization, potentially at lower costs via API-driven tools.

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate GMass relies on user-provided templates, Google Sheets data for personalization (e.g., names, companies), and rule-based triggers for follow-ups, drip campaigns, and scheduling[1][2][5]. AI could fully automate these:

Confidence: Medium

5. monday.com — Score: 13/20

Revenue: 100 G2 reviews

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 4/5 Significant manual component
Old Tech Stack 1/5 Already AI-powered
High Pricing 3/5 Pricing unknown
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: **Yes, monday.com faces a credible risk of disruption from AI, particularly in its core low-code/no-code platform for project tracking, automations, and collaboration, as market fears have already driven a 70% stock drop amid concerns over tools like Claude Code automating custom app building.[1] An

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate AI can target monday.com's reliance on user-configured boards, automations, and workflows, which require drag-and-drop customization for project tracking and collaboration:

Confidence: Medium

6. Asana — Score: 13/20

Revenue: ~$NaN/mo MRR
What they do: Intuitive task and project management with multiple views and automation for non-technical teams.[1][5]

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 4/5 Notable complaints (10 issues)

AI Angle: ### AI Disruption Opportunity for Asana

Clone this because: Asana faces moderate disruption risk from AI in 2026, as it's actively integrating AI workflow tools like AI Studio, which are driving enterprise retention and expansion, but horizontal SaaS tools like Asana remain vulnerable to commoditization by AI-first agents and larger bundled platforms.[1][2][3] Its established tech stack is not outdated—recent Q3 FY2026 results show 9% revenue growth to
