Generic AI tools are failing businesses. Not because AI doesn't work — because the wrong AI was picked for the job.
You're not alone if you've paid for a tool that collected digital dust. That $200/month subscription sitting unused isn't a reflection of your intelligence. It's a reflection of an industry that sells horizontal "do everything" solutions to businesses that need vertical "solve this specific problem" answers.
SAP just made a quiet admission that matters for every business owner evaluating AI right now. Their own leadership confirmed that industry-specific AI outperforms generic AI tools. Meaning: an AI built for your type of business will outperform a general-purpose tool every single time.
This is exactly why most AI implementations fail. Businesses buy broad solutions for narrow problems. The fit was never there.
The one thing you can do this week: before evaluating any AI tool, write down the single most repetitive, time-consuming task in your operation. Then search specifically for AI built for that task in your industry. Not general AI. Specific AI.
That's the filter that separates a useful tool from an expensive lesson.
What's the one task in your business you wish you could hand off first — and has anyone actually recommended something that worked?
