Software continues to be 'in the winners circle', says Wedbush's Dan Ives on the AI trade
Wall Street just declared software "in the winners circle" for AI.
But you're still staring at a $200/month tool your team quietly stopped using six months ago.

Wall Street just declared software "in the winners circle" for AI.
But you're still staring at a $200/month tool your team quietly stopped using six months ago.
That gap — between investor hype and actual business reality — is exactly where most business owners get stuck. You're not behind because you're slow. You're behind because everyone selling AI is talking to investors, not operators.
Here's the real signal buried in the noise: the software companies winning right now are the ones solving specific, repetitive problems. Not transforming entire businesses. Just eliminating one painful bottleneck at a time.
That's your playbook.
Pick the one task your team does repeatedly that eats time and produces no revenue. Scheduling. First-draft emails. Data entry. Invoice follow-up. Find one AI tool built specifically for that task. Run it for 30 days. Measure time saved. That's your first win — and it costs less than your gym membership.
You don't need to overhaul anything. You need one proof point that builds your confidence and your team's buy-in.
What's the one repetitive task in your business that you'd love to hand off first?
