eBay just went "agentic." And if that word made your eyes glaze over, you're not alone.
Here's the real story underneath the tech headline.
You've probably had that moment — you paid for an AI tool, your team ignored it, and now it's just another line item you feel vaguely guilty about. That's not a you problem. That's a bad implementation problem.
What eBay actually did is worth paying attention to. They didn't overhaul everything at once. They picked specific revenue problems — advertising, live shopping, customer matching — and applied AI to those specific problems. Targeted. Measurable. Tied to money.
That's the lesson most gurus skip. AI works when it's assigned one job that connects directly to a number you already track. Not "improve efficiency." Not "transform operations." One job. One metric.
This week, pick the single most repetitive task your team complains about. Just one. There's likely a lightweight AI tool that handles exactly that — without touching anything else you've built.
That's your first win. Small, safe, and something your team will actually use.
What's the one tool your business bought that nobody ended up using — and what do you think went wrong?
