Governor Scott establishes Vermont AI Economic Taskforce

Vermont just created an AI task force specifically to help small businesses compete with big companies.

That's not a headline for tech bros. That's for you.

You're not behind because you're slow. You're behind because everyone selling AI made it sound like you needed a PhD and a $40K budget just to get started. You bought the tool. Nobody used it. You moved on. That's not failure — that's a reasonable response to bad guidance.

Here's what the Vermont story signals: the era of "just figure it out yourself" is ending. Governments are recognizing that small employers need practical AI pathways, not hype. The leveling is real — but only if you take one small, deliberate step.

That step isn't a platform. It's a problem. Pick the single most repetitive task your team complains about — scheduling, follow-ups, first drafts — and ask: could AI handle the first version of this? That's your 30-day pilot. One task. One tool. One metric.

No ripping out systems. No retraining your whole team. Just one thing that works.

What's the one task in your business that eats time but requires almost no real judgment?
