Everyone's chasing the flashiest AI tool.
Kevin O'Leary says that's exactly the wrong move.
If you've paid for an AI subscription your team ignores, you already know this feeling. You bought the promise, not the solution. That's not a failure of judgment — it's a failure of how AI gets sold to business owners like you.
O'Leary's advice to young entrepreneurs is revealing: don't chase the shiny apps, focus on the unglamorous infrastructure underneath. The picks-and-shovels play, not the gold rush.
For you, this reframes everything. The AI tools eating your budget are the gold rush. What actually works is quieter — finding the one repetitive task costing your team 5 hours a week and automating just that.
Not a platform overhaul. Not a six-figure implementation. One workflow. One fix. One win.
Here's the actionable piece: this week, ask your team what task they hate doing most that follows the same steps every time. That's your first AI use case. Start there. Prove it works in 30 days. Then build.
No coding. No new hires. No ripping anything apart.
What's the AI tool you bought that's collecting digital dust right now — and what were you hoping it would actually do?

O'Leary says young entrepreneurs shouldn't chase flashy AI, they should instead try to build its backbone.
