Is Alphabet a Buy Amid Soaring Q1 Profits on AI Cloud Growth? - The Globe and Mail

Google just posted record AI profits. Your team still isn't using that tool you bought six months ago.

That gap tells you everything about why AI feels so frustrating right now.

You're not behind because you're slow. You're behind because the AI industry sells infrastructure to billion-dollar enterprises and packages the pitch for small business owners. What works for Google's cloud division has nothing to do with your Tuesday morning operations.

Here's what Alphabet's numbers actually confirm: AI is delivering real results — but only where it's been matched to a specific, repeatable business problem. Not deployed broadly. Not rolled out to the whole team. One problem, one solution, measured tightly.

That's the opposite of how most consultants sell it.

The move right now is simple. Pick one task your team does manually at least three times a week. Something predictable, not creative. That's your first AI target. You don't need new software yet — just identify the task. Get that clarity first, and the right tool becomes obvious.

What's the one repetitive task in your business that eats the most time right now?
