The AI companies are fighting over the same handful of experts.
That tells you something important — and it's not what the headlines want you to think.
When you bought that AI tool nobody ended up using, it wasn't because you made a bad decision. It's because the industry is genuinely chaotic. The people building these tools are jumping between companies every six months. The "best" platform today may be gutted or pivoted by Q3.
This talent shuffle — Google veterans moving to OpenAI, founders abandoning their own companies — signals one thing clearly: the AI landscape is still sorting itself out at the top.
Which means you don't need to bet on the winning horse right now. You need one small, contained proof point inside your own business.
Pick your single most repetitive task. The one your team does daily that follows a predictable pattern. Customer inquiry responses. Meeting summaries. First-draft proposals.
Test one free or low-cost tool on that task for 30 days. Measure time saved. That's your AI strategy — at least until this industry stabilizes.
Skip the platform wars. Build your own internal evidence first.
What's the one task in your business you'd most want off your plate — and have you tried any AI tool on it yet?
