Companies are slapping "AI" on their name just to watch their stock price jump.

That should tell you everything about the current hype cycle — and why your gut feeling that something is off is completely right.

You bought a tool. Nobody used it. $200 a month quietly draining out while your team worked around it. That's not a failure on your part. That's what happens when AI is sold as a brand instead of a solution.

Here's what the Reuters story about companies rebranding to AI without changing anything actually reveals: most AI noise right now is theatre. Stock plays. Marketing moves. It has nothing to do with running a real business better.

The business owners who are actually winning with AI aren't chasing the loudest tools. They're picking one broken process — the one that costs them hours every week — and fixing just that.

One process. One tool. Thirty days to see if it works.

That's it. No ripping apart what's working. No coding. No six-month commitment.

Start by writing down the three tasks your team repeats most. That list is your AI roadmap. Everything else is noise.

What's the one AI purchase you've made that nobody on your team actually ended up using?
