The AI tool you bought isn't failing because AI doesn't work.
It's failing because no one reduced the friction between your team and the tool.
You're not alone in this. "We bought it, nobody uses it" is the most common sentence I hear from smart business owners. It's not a tech problem. It's an adoption problem. And it's not your fault — most vendors sell the feature, then disappear.
Here's what Workday just figured out after billions in AI investment: the real opportunity isn't adding more AI features. It's making the software easier to actually use. Even enterprise giants are now admitting that reducing friction is the whole game.
That changes how you should evaluate any AI tool. Stop asking "what can it do?" Start asking "how fast can my team actually use it without training?"
One actionable shift you can make this week: before buying anything new, run a 15-minute live test with the employee who will use it most. If they can figure it out without your help, it's worth considering. If they can't, walk away — no matter how impressive the demo looked.
The right AI tool should feel obvious to use. That's the bar.
What's the biggest reason your team stopped using an AI tool you invested in — was it complexity, lack of support, or something else?

The biggest AI opportunity in enterprise software may be reducing implementation friction, not simply adding generative features.
