You bought an AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.
That's not a you problem. That's an adoption problem — and the tech industry keeps ignoring it.
Here's what caught my attention this week: WhatsApp is quietly building AI directly into its chat interface, designed so employees can use it without their conversations being stored or shared. No IT setup. No new software. No training day.
That matters for you. Your team is already on WhatsApp. The barrier to using AI just got smaller.
This is exactly how AI adoption actually works in real businesses — not with a $30K implementation and a six-month rollout. With tools people already have open on their phones.
The companies winning with AI right now aren't buying the most sophisticated platforms. They're finding AI that fits inside existing habits. No new logins. No new workflows. Just a smarter version of what people already do every day.
One thing you can do this week: audit which communication tools your team actually uses daily, then ask whether any of them have AI features you're already paying for but haven't turned on yet.
That's your lowest-risk first win.
What AI tool have you paid for that your team quietly stopped using — and what killed the adoption?
