I watched enterprises buy AI that solved the wrong problem. So I left Dell and built a startup to fix it

The AI tool your team never opens isn't a you problem. It's a problem-fit problem.
A former Dell executive just left a major enterprise career because he kept watching companies buy AI that solved the wrong problem. Not bad AI. Not expensive AI. Just AI aimed at the wrong thing.
Sound familiar?
Most business owners don't fail at AI because they're not tech-savvy enough. They fail because someone sold them a solution before understanding the actual bottleneck in their business.
The insight worth borrowing here: the companies winning with AI right now started with one painful, repetitive process — not a company-wide transformation. They picked something specific, measured it before and after, and built confidence from there.
You don't need a consultant with a 90-day roadmap. You need to identify the single task your team does repeatedly that costs the most time per week. That's your starting point.
Pick one process. One. Measure how long it takes today. Then find the tool that addresses only that. Nothing else.
That's how you get your first real AI win — without touching what already works.
So tell me — have you bought an AI tool that quietly died on the shelf? What happened?
