🏠 Andrew Yeung's AI Productivity Stack

GM! It’s Brett. Been thinking a lot about momentum lately - in careers, startups, everything.

There’s really only one thing that matters, and it’s how fast you’re moving. investors bet on rocket ships, not tankers.

Managers hire for slope, not skills. Even employees are happier when things are in motion. And if you don’t have momentum? Be so early it doesn’t matter.

That’s why young people and early startups have the edge - no one can tell yet if you’re the next big thing or just getting started.

Andrew Yeung (ex-Google, ex-Meta, now founder of Fibe) says he’s cut his work hours by 30% using AI - and he’s not exaggerating.

He replaced most typing with Wispr Flow and Oasis, dictation tools that turn speech into clean copy. For email, he runs Simplehuman shortcuts and Boomerang to fly through his inbox and automate follow-ups. His meetings? Granola and Fireflies record, summarize, and write follow-ups automatically.

He searches everything across Slack, Gmail, and Notion using Concierge AI, and even uses Distill to get quick background on people before meetings (yes, he’s used it mid-event in the bathroom).

It’s not just efficiency - Andrew’s stack basically turned him into a one-person ops team. The result: less time typing, more time thinking.

If one path doesn’t work, keep finding new ones until something does.

The best example of that I’ve seen is how I became a Product Manager at Google.

Right after college, I interviewed for the role and didn’t get it. No CS degree. No fancy internships. Just research work. I could’ve given up there - but I didn’t.

I got another job and studied Google like crazy for years. Eventually, I met someone at a dinner who knew someone hiring there.

It wasn't a product manager role, but it was my way in, so I studied for hours - almost every night and weekend for 3 months straight.

I got the job.

I wasn't in the product/eng org and my peers told me it would be impossible it switch.

So I decided to leverage my boss's status (she reported to the CEO of Google) and offer free product reviews for teams she was connected to.

I did this enough times where someone ultimately offered me a PM role on their team.

The catch was that it was a "rotational" role, so not technically PM or PM comp, but I was still doing the PM job.

Turns out that was perfect, because within a year of doing that role, I had offers to join other teams at Google and other top tech companies in official PM roles.

The lesson here is you can just do things if you keep persisting.

Example: type “what did we decide in the product sync last week?” and Mem will pull up the meeting notes, action items, and related ideas instantly - without you ever having to label a thing.
