Another AI startup just raised $27M to "automate your marketing." You've heard that pitch before.
And you probably have a SaaS subscription somewhere quietly draining $200/month with nothing to show for it. That's not a you problem. That's a you-were-sold-a-solution-before-anyone-understood-your-problem problem.
Here's what's actually interesting about Ploy's raise: investors aren't betting on another dashboard nobody opens. They're backing automation that connects to workflows people already use. That's the shift worth paying attention to.
The best AI implementations I've seen in 25 years of software delivery share one thing. They don't replace how your team works. They remove the repetitive steps that slow your team down.
That's your filter. Before any AI conversation, ask: what task does my team repeat more than three times a week that requires no real judgment? That's your starting point. Not a platform overhaul. One task. One test. Measurable result within 30 days.
That's how you get your first win without torching what's already working.
What's the one repetitive task in your business you'd hand off tomorrow if you could?
