Congress just scheduled a hearing called "AI on Main Street."

That means Washington is paying attention to exactly what you're dealing with.


You're not behind. You're not tech-stupid. You bought a tool that a vendor oversold, your team never adopted it, and now it sits at $200/month doing nothing. That's not failure — that's a bad recommendation from someone with no skin in the game.


Here's what the hearing signals: small business AI adoption is messy enough that lawmakers felt the need to weigh in. You're not alone in the confusion. Most Main Street owners are in the exact same spot.


The real problem isn't the technology. It's that AI gets sold as a transformation when it should be sold as a solution to one specific, annoying problem you deal with every single week.


Start there. Pick one task your team repeats daily that costs time and produces frustration. Not your whole operation — one task. That's where your first AI win lives, and most of them cost less than that unused subscription you're already paying.


What's one repetitive task in your business that you wish you could hand off today?
