Is a project managerabove the AI?
Below the line: work that can be generated. Above it: the objective, the authority to act, the evidence, and who owns the exception. This is the typical project manager week, split along that line. Yours will differ. That is the point of checking.

70[ III ] Move the number
This number can move.
The status chasing and daily standup coordination should be automated or delegated first. Moving these routine collection tasks to an asynchronous system would free up a third of your week. This allows you to focus entirely on the high-value negotiation of scope and risk.
That is a build, not a discipline problem, and it does not need AI expertise in house: Above The AI brings the system, the person keeps the objective, the authority, the evidence and the exception.
Drafted in one pass from what you gave us. A toy, with one serious idea inside: the line is real even when the number is rough. Nothing is stored, and no name appears anywhere, unless you publish your page yourself.
