The people closest to the work know best where AI actually helps.

That's the real lesson buried in a new teacher AI training program — they asked teachers what they needed before building the solution. Revolutionary concept, right?

You probably know this feeling. You bought the AI tool someone recommended. Your team tried it twice. Now it's a $200/month subscription collecting digital dust. Not because you failed. Because nobody asked what problem you were actually trying to solve first.

This is where most AI rollouts go wrong. The tool comes before the problem. The vendor pitch comes before the workflow audit. And you're left holding the invoice wondering what happened.

Here's what works instead. Before you evaluate a single AI tool, spend 30 minutes asking your team one question: "What task do you do repeatedly that wastes the most time?" That answer tells you exactly which AI capability to look for. No coding. No system overhaul. No consultant needed.

One problem. One solution. One win that builds confidence for the next step.

That's how you go from AI skeptic to the person in your industry who actually got it right.

What's the one repetitive task in your business that still doesn't have a good solution?
