Big tech just found a faster way to get AI into your business.

And it has nothing to do with what's best for you.

You've probably already felt this. A tool purchased with good intentions, sitting unused, quietly draining $200 a month. Nobody blames you. The pitch was convincing. The reality wasn't.

Google just struck a deal to push their AI tools through EQT — a private equity firm with hundreds of portfolio companies. One handshake, hundreds of businesses now "adopting AI." That's not a strategy. That's a distribution play dressed up as innovation.

Here's what this means for you: the pressure to adopt AI is about to increase — not because the tools got better, but because the sales machine got bigger. More noise, more urgency, more consultants with slide decks.

The counter-move is simple. Before you look at any new tool, write down one specific business problem that costs you time or money every week. Just one. That problem is your filter. Every AI pitch gets measured against it.

No ripping out systems. No learning to code. Just one clear question before you spend a dollar.

What's the one AI tool your team was sold on — that nobody actually opened after week one?
