Small businesses are embracing vibe coding amid the AI arms race - The Business Journals
You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month went nowhere. That doesn't mean AI doesn't work — it means nobody gave you a real starting point.

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month went nowhere. That doesn't mean AI doesn't work — it means nobody gave you a real starting point.
Goldman Sachs just confirmed what you already feel: most small business owners see the benefits of AI but aren't actually integrating it. You're not behind. You're in the majority.
Here's what's shifting though. Business owners are starting to use AI to build small internal tools — automations, simple apps, custom workflows — without touching their existing systems or hiring a developer. One design firm automated a time-consuming client process this way. No consultants. No code. No chaos.
The real unlock isn't finding the perfect AI platform. It's identifying one repetitive task your team does every week and asking whether AI can handle it. Just one. That's where the first measurable win comes from.
Pick the task that costs you the most time. Not the flashiest problem — the most annoying one. That's your starting point.
What's the one thing in your business that eats hours every week and you keep saying "there has to be a better way"?
