ClickUp just cut 22% of its workforce to go "AI-first."
That's not innovation. That's a headline that makes your stomach drop.
Here's what nobody tells you: the companies winning with AI aren't the ones making dramatic moves. They're quietly automating one repetitive task, seeing it work, then doing it again.
You bought that tool nobody uses. That consultant sold you a vision and vanished. That's not your fault — it's how AI has been sold. Big promises, zero handholding, no actual fit for how your business runs.
ClickUp's story is a warning, not a blueprint. Replacing people with AI before you understand what problems AI actually solves is how you end up with expensive chaos.
The smarter move is smaller. Pick the one task your team does on repeat — drafting proposals, answering the same customer questions, summarizing reports. Find one tool that handles just that. Measure the time saved in 30 days.
One win. Real numbers. Then you decide what's next.
You don't need an AI strategy. You need an AI experiment that actually works.
What's the one repetitive task eating your team's time right now — and have you found anything that handles it reliably?
