The AI gold rush is pulling workers into startups as layoffs and RTO push them out of corporate jobs

The AI gold rush is real. But it's not helping you figure out what to actually do on Monday morning. Thousands of tech workers are leaving Microsoft, Google, and Meta right now to build AI startups.

The AI gold rush is real. But it's not helping you figure out what to actually do on Monday morning.

Thousands of tech workers are leaving Microsoft, Google, and Meta right now to build AI startups. That sounds like good news. More tools, more solutions, more options.

It's not. Not yet.

Every one of those startups needs customers. And their pitch will find its way to your inbox dressed up as "the answer." The hype machine just got louder, not clearer.

Here's what this actually means for you: the people building these tools are product people, not business operators. They're solving problems they find interesting, not necessarily the ones costing you money every week.

Before you look at another demo, write down the one task your team repeats more than ten times a day. Customer follow-ups. Scheduling. Quoting. Reporting. That single repeating task is your starting point. Not the most impressive tool. Not the one your competitor mentioned. The one that matches your actual friction.

That's how you get a real win in 30 days without touching what already works.

What's the AI tool you paid for that nobody on your team actually opened twice?
