That $200/month tool your team never opens? Probably the same problem. It was built for a different kind of business, a different workflow, a different user. Someone sold it to you anyway.
Here's the insight most AI consultants won't give you: the tool isn't always wrong. The fit is.
AI fails in business for the same reason it failed in that teddy bear — nobody asked "what problem does this actually solve HERE, for THESE people, in THIS context?" before deploying it.

This week, pick one repetitive task your team complains about. Just one. Then ask: what's the smallest AI solution designed specifically for that task? Not the biggest platform. Not the flashiest demo. The narrowest fit.
That's how you get your first win in under 30 days — without touching anything that already works.
