If you’re a premium subscriber, add the private feed to your podcast app at add.lennysreads.com

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
