Companies are paying engineers $200,000 a year just to make AI tools actually work inside a business.
That number should tell you something.
If AI were plug-and-play, that job wouldn't exist. The fact that it's the fastest-growing tech role right now — up 700% in one year — confirms what you've probably already felt. The gap isn't your intelligence. The gap is that most AI tools aren't built to fit how real businesses operate.
So when that SaaS subscription sits unused, that's not a you problem. That's a fit problem. Someone sold you a solution before understanding your workflow. The tool was real. The implementation plan was missing.
Here's what this tells me practically: before you evaluate any AI tool, write down one specific task that costs you or your team more than three hours a week. One task. That becomes your first test case. Match the tool to that problem — not the other way around.
You don't need a $200K engineer. You need a clear starting point.
What's one task in your business you wish someone could just handle automatically — and have you tried any tool yet to solve it?
