If you’ve been wondering how to get real value from the subscriber product pass, this episode is for you. I break down exactly how I’m using eight of the tools today - from what they’re great at, what surprised me, and where they slot into a modern PM’s stack. Consider this your field guide to turning these tools into real workflow improvements
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• What each tool actually does for PMs (beyond the tagline): where it shines vs. falls short
• How to vibe code entire apps with Replit, including auth, DB, testing, and auto-fix loops
• Why Warp turns your terminal into an agentic sidekick
• Linear’s sweet spot for teams
• When voice beats typing: workflows where Wispr Flow is faster and more accurate
• Rapid content creation with Gamma 3.0, including decks, landing pages, and shareable summaries
• Fast prototyping with Magic Patterns using your own component library
• How non-video-people ship great video with Descript + Underlord
• Smart real-life examples of how PMs and teams are using each tool right now
