You bought an AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.
The problem probably wasn't the tool. It was that the tool had no idea what was actually inside your business documents.
Here's what most vendors never tell you: AI is only as smart as the information you feed it. If your contracts, SOPs, pricing sheets, and reports are sitting in PDFs and spreadsheets, most AI tools can't actually read them properly. They skim the surface and miss the substance. That's why you get vague answers that feel impressive for five minutes and useless after that.
IBM Research just open-sourced a tool called Docling that solves exactly this. It converts your real business documents into a format AI can actually understand — deeply, accurately, completely. Think of it as giving your AI glasses instead of asking it to squint.
The practical takeaway: before you buy another AI subscription, ask one question. Can this tool actually read my documents? Not just upload them. Read them. If the vendor can't answer clearly, that's your answer.
One right question eliminates a lot of wrong purchases.
What's the biggest gap you've noticed between what an AI tool promised and what it actually delivered with your real business data?
