Even the government can't figure out which AI tools actually work for small businesses.
That's not a joke. The GAO just published a report on AI use in small business programs — and the pros and cons they listed were described as "familiar." Meaning we've been going in circles on this for years.
Sound frustrating? You're not alone in that feeling.
If you've already paid for an AI tool your team ignores, you didn't fail at AI. You got sold a solution before anyone identified the actual problem. That's on the vendor, not you.
Here's what the report quietly confirms: AI works best when it targets one specific, repetitive task — not when it's deployed as a company-wide transformation. The wins aren't dramatic. They're narrow and measurable.
That's actually good news for you.
Pick one workflow your team does manually every week that eats 2-3 hours. Customer follow-up emails. Scheduling. Meeting summaries. That's your test. Run one tool against that single task for 30 days and measure the time saved.
One problem. One tool. One month. That's a real AI strategy — not a six-figure gamble.
What's the one repetitive task in your business that's quietly draining time every single week?
