You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200 a month quietly disappearing while the tab stays open in someone's browser.
You're not alone. Most business owners I talk to have at least one of those ghost subscriptions sitting on a credit card statement.
Here's what's actually happening in the industry right now — and why it matters to you.
Companies like SoftBank are pouring billions into building AI that works for specific industries, not just general-purpose tools sold to everyone. They're calling it "sovereign AI" — purpose-built systems designed around how a particular business actually operates.
That's the signal worth paying attention to. The era of one-size-fits-all AI is already ending at the enterprise level. Which means the smartest move for a business your size isn't finding the most popular AI tool. It's finding the one built closest to your specific problem.
One thing you can do this week: write down the single most repetitive task your team complains about. Not the biggest — the most repetitive. That's your starting point for a 30-day AI pilot that's actually testable.
Small, specific, measurable. That's how you get your first real win without touching anything that already works.
What's the AI tool you bought that's still sitting unused — and what problem were you hoping it would solve?
