You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.
You're not alone — and you're not foolish. The vendors made it look simple. It wasn't.
Here's something worth knowing right now.
Marketing firms just paid nearly $1 million to settle allegations they falsely marketed an AI "Active Listening" ad tool. Meaning the AI didn't do what they said it did. And businesses paid for it anyway.
This isn't rare. It's the pattern. AI vendors overpromise, undersell the complexity, and disappear after the contract is signed.
The problem isn't that AI doesn't work. The problem is that nobody's helping you separate tools that actually deliver from tools that just sound impressive in a demo.
One practical move you can make this week:
Before evaluating any AI tool, write down one specific problem it needs to solve — with a number attached. Not "improve marketing." Something like "reduce the 4 hours per week I spend writing follow-up emails." That single sentence will cut through 80% of vendor noise instantly.
No coding. No system overhaul. Just clarity before the conversation starts.
What's the one AI tool you bought that your team quietly stopped using — and what did the vendor promise it would do?
