You bought an AI tool. Your team ignored it. Now you're paying $200/month for a login nobody touches.
That's not your fault. It's the industry's dirty secret they don't talk about.
Most AI tools fail before they even start — not because business owners made bad decisions, but because the tools were set up to impress demo audiences, not solve real daily problems. The gap between "watch this AI agent do something amazing" and "this actually helps my team tomorrow" is enormous.
