American Express opens free AI training to small firms as adoption gap widens

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone — and now you're even more skeptical than before.
That's not a you problem. That's a rollout problem.
American Express just quietly did something interesting. They opened free AI training and $1,000 scholarships specifically for small business owners and their staff. Not for enterprise. Not for tech teams. For people running actual businesses who need practical skills, not vendor pitches.
What this tells you: the adoption gap is real, and the smart money is now on training your existing team — not replacing your systems or buying more software.
Here's the one thing worth acting on this week: before you evaluate any AI tool, have one honest conversation with your team about where they waste the most time on repetitive tasks. That single conversation is worth more than any demo call.
You don't need a consultant. You don't need a six-month roadmap. You need one problem, one tool, one person on your team willing to test it for 30 days.
That's how a real first win happens.
What's the one task your team repeats every week that you'd most want to hand off — and have you found anything that actually works yet?
