The real AI problem isn't picking the wrong tool.
It's buying a tool before you know what problem you're actually solving.
You're not tech-stupid. You're just surrounded by people who profit from your confusion. That $200/month gathering dust isn't a failure of intelligence — it's what happens when implementation gets skipped and nobody asks "what does success look like in 30 days?"
Here's what the people doing AI effectively have figured out: generative AI works best when it's attached to a specific, repetitive task your team already hates doing. Not a transformation. A replacement for one annoying thing.
Think about where your team copies, summarizes, or rewrites the same information repeatedly. That's your starting point. Not your whole operation — just that one friction point.
One practical move: before your next AI conversation, write down three tasks your team does weekly that feel like busywork. That list is worth more than any vendor demo.
Start there. Solve one thing well. Then build from proof, not hype.
What's the one repetitive task in your business that you keep thinking "there has to be a better way to do this"?
