U.S. Bank survey: Gen Z small business owners making bigger bets to drive growth

Your competitors aren't winning with AI because they're smarter. They're winning because they started smaller.

A new U.S. Bank survey found something worth paying attention to: businesses using generative AI are significantly more likely to be in a growth phase. Not the biggest businesses. Not the most tech-savvy. Just the ones who actually started.

If you bought an AI tool that's collecting digital dust, you're not alone. Most business owners in your position didn't fail at AI. They were handed the wrong tool for the wrong problem by someone who moved on after the invoice cleared.

The gap isn't knowledge. It's application. The businesses pulling ahead aren't rebuilding their operations. They're solving one specific, painful, repeatable problem with one focused AI solution — and measuring what changed in 30 days.

Here's your practical starting point: write down the single task your team does repeatedly that eats the most time. That's your first AI target. Not a platform. Not a strategy. One task, one tool, one result.

That's how momentum starts.

What's the one thing you wish AI could just handle for you right now — and have you tried anything that actually stuck?
