How AI Supercharges Productivity at Nozbe

Nozbe — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0100

Everyone's talking about AI, but don't know where to start in your own company? In this episode, we share the specific processes we've improved at Nozbe using AI - with practical solutions you can implement today and see results immediately!

🎙️ Topics:

1. Use ChatGPT or Perplexity instead of Google to get direct answers with source links instead of traditional search.
2. Use AI as a tutor / learning assistant: AI can generate questions, check answers, and provide immediate feedback to help you learn faster.
3. Analyze data without building formulas manually: Feed Excel or CSV data into Cloud AI to quickly get insights, breakdowns, and percentage analyses.
4. Automate repetitive or tedious tasks: AI handles boring tasks so you can focus on creative work.
5. Translate and maintain writing style: Use AI to translate content while preserving tone and style, reducing editing time.
6. Create short video content (Reels / Shorts): AI helps identify key moments in long videos and generates multiple short versions for social media.
7. Generate voice-over audio: ElevenLabs can synthesize natural-sounding voice for tutorials or promo content, including different accents.
8. Create audio podcasts from text: Notebook LM can take text (articles, transcripts) and generate podcast-style audio discussions automatically.

2. Set clear expectations — clarity about vision, values, roles and responsibilities.
3. Listen deeply — full presence, empathy, understanding others commit- ment beyond productivity.
4. People first, work second. Always. — treat colleagues as humans first, not just resources.
5. Be humble — lead with humility, give credit, take responsibility, avoid ego.
6. Treat people the way THEY want to be treated — empathize, respect individuality, adapt to people’s needs.
7. Slow down — avoid the “busy = productive” assumption; take time for real human connection and reflection.
8. It doesn’t end with you — kindness should ripple outward: build a kind culture, influence others, sustain kindness over time.

📝 Show notes

💥 Key Takeaways from the Episode

In this episode, we show that Nozbe — although primarily a task, project, and team-collaboration app — can fully replace a lightweight CRM for small businesses. Using projects, tasks, comments, tags, and templates, you can recreate all essential CRM functions: client database, contact history, sales pipeline, customer support, reporting, automation, and team collaboration. This means your team doesn’t need multiple tools — everything happens in one place, saving time and eliminating communication chaos. Nozbe becomes the central hub for client work: from the first contact, through sending offers and managing projects, all the way to post-sale support.

🎯 Benefits of Integrating CRM and a Project Management App

Integrating a CRM with project management software saves time, automates tedious tasks, and allows you to focus on real business growth. But how does this work in practice?

1. Everything in One Place
2. Faster Project Execution
3. Increased Customer Satisfaction
4. Better Team Collaboration

Why Managing Projects on WhatsApp Is Setting You Up to Fail

Nozbe — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 17:47:38 +0200

Is WhatsApp really a work tool — or just a fast track to chaos? Are you comfortable giving Meta access to your company’s sensitive data? How often do key details disappear into endless chat threads? In this episode, we dive into the hidden risks of using WhatsApp for managing projects & teamwork.

🎙️ Topics:

Data Security? Questionable in WhatsApp owned by Meta
No Structure, No Scalability - WhatsApp works for quick messages in small teams — but it doesn’t scale
No Planning, No Priorities - WhatsApp doesn’t let you assign tasks, set deadlines, or even see what’s due this week.
WhatsApp Doesn’t Lead to Action - it's a chat
You Lose Context Instantly in WhatsApp
Personal and Work Messages All Mixed Together in WhatsApp
Notification Nightmare - WhatsApp gives you zero control — it’s all or nothing
WhatsApp Is Not for Asynchronous Work
File Management? A Mess.
No Reporting or Review Options in WhatsApp that gives you no visibility or progress tracking.

⭐️ Key things you will learn from this episode:

- Which of the Apple new products and upgrades got our hosts excited
- What will Rafal get? And why Michael won't buy any of the new products
- Why pros get the dull computer colors

And some quick facts for the busy ones:

- New HomePod mini… colors… (yellow, orange and blue). Homepods haven't got any upgrades.
- New AirPods were also presented. Apple promises that they should work up to 6 hours on a single charge. AirPods got a new look, Spatial audio support, the Pro line’s “force sensor”, and improved sweat/water resistance.
- Apple introduced a new generation of Macbook Pro. With no touch bar but with ports — including an SD card slot, and an HDMI. And the MagSafe is back! Oh, and the screens are improved with 120Hz ProMotion support for smoother scrolling + an iPhone-like camera notch!
- Apple already blew minds with uber-fast M1 chip. Now, they’ve gone even further and introduced two new M1 chips — the M1 Pro and M1 Max and that are thought to be 70% faster than the original M1 from 2020.
