Probook founder George Eliadis has boosted profits for small businesses with AI

You don't need a smarter AI tool. You need a narrower problem.

That $200/month tool collecting dust? It probably failed because it tried to do everything — not because AI doesn't work for your business.

Here's what caught my attention this week: a founder who used to pressure wash driveways just raised $40M to bring AI to plumbers and electricians. Not "AI for business." AI for one specific thing — running field service operations more profitably.

That's the insight most gurus skip over. The AI tools that actually stick aren't broad. They're surgical. A plumber doesn't need a general AI assistant. They need one that books jobs, follows up on estimates, and flags which customers are most likely to call back.

Same principle applies to your business. One repetitive task. One measurable outcome. Thirty days to see if it moves the needle.

You don't need to rebuild anything. Start by writing down the three tasks your team does every week that feel like a waste of their time. That list is your AI roadmap — no consultant required.

What's the one thing in your business you wish you never had to deal with again?
