Côte d'Ivoire: AI + Transportation Safeguards Economic Integration in West Africa

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

That's not a you problem. That's an implementation problem nobody warned you about.

Most business owners I talk to feel exactly this way — smart, capable, but quietly wondering if they're missing something obvious. You're not. The AI industry has made this genuinely confusing on purpose.

Here's what a recent infrastructure project in West Africa reminded me. The city of Abidjan didn't deploy AI across their entire transportation system overnight. They picked one measurable problem — dangerous driving and license plate recognition — and solved that specific thing first. Clear problem. Clear tool. Clear result.

That's the playbook that actually works. Not "AI transformation." One problem. One solution. One win.

Your version of that might be automating how your team handles repetitive customer questions, or flagging invoices that need follow-up. Something already causing friction, already costing you time today.

Don't overhaul anything. Just find the one thing that hurts most right now, and ask whether a focused AI solution could cut that pain in half.

What's the single biggest time-waster in your business that you keep tolerating because fixing it feels too complicated?
