This week on Work Less, we’re talking about $180 million in fresh funding for n8n and what it means for the automation wars - can they really take on Zapier, Make, and the old-school RPA giants?
Then we test drive OpenAI’s brand new browser “Atlas by ChatGPT” (spoiler: it’s… not great), and unpack what makes AI browsers like Daya and Perplexity different, or at least less terrifying for your passwords.
Finally, we get philosophical (and a little doomsday-y) about “AI slop” — the growing mess of machine-generated junk clogging the internet, and whether the “dead internet theory” might be less of a conspiracy and more of a preview.
No hype, no fluff - just two people trying to make sense of the automation chaos.
