China's Zhipu is closing in on top U.S. AI models with Anthropic and OpenAI held back

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone. That's not a you problem. That's a vendor problem. Here's what this week's news about China's AI competition actually means for your business

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.

That's not a you problem. That's a vendor problem.

Here's what this week's news about China's AI competition actually means for your business: the AI market just got more crowded, which means prices are dropping and your options are expanding. More competition between providers is the first real good news for business owners in two years.

But here's the trap most owners fall into right now. They chase the newest model instead of solving one specific problem. The companies quietly winning with AI aren't using the most advanced tools. They're using simple ones that fit one workflow their team already does every day.

The practical move this week? Pick one repetitive task your team does manually — quoting, follow-up emails, weekly reporting. Find a tool built specifically for that task. Test it for 30 days with two people. Measure time saved. That's your first real AI win.

No ripping out systems. No retraining everyone. No six-figure commitment.

One problem. One tool. One honest test.

What's the AI tool your business bought that quietly became shelfware — and what do you think actually killed adoption?
