🧠 17. How AI Cut My Weekly PM Work from 40 Hours to 20
Koshy Mathew…Without sacrificing quality, deadlines, or client trust
😩 The Pain of Working 10+ Hour Days as a PM
A few months ago, I was clocking 10-hour days just to keep up with documentation:
Weekly status reports
Client update emails
Sprint summaries
Risk logs
Meeting notes
Onboarding briefs
KPI decks
Every task felt urgent. Every minute felt manual.
I was living inside Google Docs, toggling Notion, Excel, Slack — and still falling behind.
🔄 How I Realized I Needed to Automate PM Work
The moment that pushed me over the edge?
A Friday 10PM scramble to rewrite a status report — for the third time — because the stakeholder “didn’t like the tone.”
That’s when I started experimenting with AI.
Not just generic prompts — but PM-specific AI workflows I could customize and reuse.
🤖 My AI Stack for Project Management (Real Tools I Use)
After testing dozens of options, I built a full-stack system using:
✅ ChatGPT for all writing and summaries
✅ Notion as my prompt launcher + template hub
✅ A set of 10 plug-and-play prompt templates I now reuse daily
Here’s what I replaced:
| ❌ Manual Task | ✅ AI Workflow |
| Writing status reports from scratch | AI Status Report Generator |
| Drafting client emails | AI Client Communication Kit |
| Building proposals + estimates | Proposal Generator + Pricing Builder |
| Retrospective docs | Sprint Retros Kit |
| KPI decks | KPI Dashboard Kit |
| UAT/QA docs | AI QA/UAT Docs Kit |
| Project kickoff notes | Kickoff Briefs Generator |
| Handoff summary emails | Handoff + Wrap-Up Kit |
⏳ Before vs. After: Time Saved
| Task | Old Time | New Time (AI) |
| Weekly Status Report | 90 mins | 7 mins |
| Client Update Email | 30 mins | 3 mins |
| Proposal + Estimate | 2 hours | 15 mins |
| Retrospective Report | 1 hour | 10 mins |
| KPI Summary | 1.5 hours | 15 mins |
Net Savings: ~20 hours per week.
I spend that time actually leading projects — not formatting them.
