You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month quietly canceled three months later.
You're not alone — and you're not the problem.
Here's something worth knowing: OpenAI just launched tools specifically targeting small businesses and the legal industry. That's not a tech story. That's a signal.
The biggest AI companies are finally admitting what's been true all along — generic AI tools don't work for specific businesses. Industry-focused solutions do. When OpenAI starts building for your type of business, the gap between "AI hype" and "AI that actually helps me" gets smaller.
This matters for you right now. Not because you need to rush out and buy something new. But because it means better, more targeted options are arriving — which means your job isn't to chase every tool. It's to wait for the right fit.
One practical move this week: Write down the single most repetitive task your team does that involves sorting, summarizing, or responding to information. That's your starting point. That's where AI pays for itself fast.
The win you're looking for isn't a big implementation. It's one boring task, automated, working by next Friday.
What's the AI tool you bought that never stuck — and what do you think went wrong?
