Intuit just cut 3,000 people to "accelerate AI."
And I'll bet your reaction was either panic or eye-roll. Both are valid.
If you've already bought an AI tool your team quietly ignores, headlines like this feel like salt in the wound. You're not behind because you're slow. You're behind because nobody gave you a straight answer about where to actually start.
Here's what Intuit's move really tells you: large companies are eliminating roles where AI handles repetitive, rule-based tasks — think data entry, report generation, first-draft content. That's the signal worth paying attention to.
Which means the opportunity for your business isn't some massive transformation. It's identifying one task your team does on repeat — something that eats two to five hours a week — and testing whether AI can cut that in half.
That's it. No new hires. No system overhaul. No six-month learning curve.
Pick one repeated task. Test one tool against it for 30 days. Measure the time saved. That's a real AI win — and it costs you almost nothing to find out if it works.
The big companies are moving fast. You don't have to match their speed. You just have to make your first move count.
What's the one task in your business you'd love to never do manually again?
