Even Google — with billions in revenue — is struggling to get AI right in this new era.

That should tell you something.

If you've paid for an AI tool that your team quietly stopped using, you're not alone and you're not the problem. The industry has been selling solutions before businesses actually knew what problem they were solving. That's not on you.

Here's the real insight from what's happening with Google right now: the companies winning with AI aren't the ones spending the most. They're the ones getting clear on one specific use case, proving it works, then building from there. Even the giants are being forced back to basics.

The AI landscape is shifting away from "more features" toward "does this actually work for your workflow." That's genuinely good news for business owners who want results, not demos.

One thing you can do this week: pick your single most repetitive internal task — the one your team complains about. Not your whole operation. Just that one thing. Find out if an AI tool already solves exactly that. Most do, for under $50/month.

One win changes everything.

What AI tool did you pay for that your team eventually stopped using — and what do you think went wrong?
