$23.7 million just got raised to help small businesses "get found and grow with AI."

Sounds great. But you've heard that before.


You bought the tool. Paid the monthly fee. Your team ignored it. Now it sits there like an expensive reminder that AI wasn't quite what they promised.

That's not on you. That's on solutions built for headlines, not for how your actual business runs.


Here's what's worth noticing about platforms like Pie: the smartest AI money right now is flowing toward one specific problem — helping local businesses capture customers who are already searching for what they sell.

Not replacing your team. Not rebuilding your systems. Just making sure the demand that already exists actually finds you first.

That's a fundamentally different conversation than "transform your entire operation with AI."


One place to start this week: Google your own business the way a new customer would. What comes up? That gap between what customers search and what they find is exactly where focused AI tools are starting to deliver real, measurable results — without touching anything that already works.


What's the one area of your business where you feel like competitors are getting found and you're not?
