Albertsons just deployed AI to inspect strawberries. Not to replace their team — to help them work faster and grade more consistently.
That's the part the gurus never tell you.
You've probably been sold the "transform your entire operation" pitch before. Maybe you even bought the tool. And now it just sits there, costing $200 a month, while your team works around it like furniture nobody wants to move.
That's not a you problem. That's a bad fit problem.
Here's what Albertsons got right. They picked one repetitive task — produce inspection — and used AI to do it faster and more consistently. No ripping out systems. No retraining everyone. Just one specific problem, one targeted solution.
The businesses winning with AI right now aren't the ones doing the most. They're the ones starting the smallest.
Find one task your team does repeatedly that follows a pattern — grading, sorting, reviewing, responding. That's your starting point. Not a platform overhaul. Not a six-month implementation. One task with a clear before-and-after you can measure in 30 days.
What's one repetitive task in your business right now that feels like it could run on autopilot — if only you knew where to start?
