What this is

AI automation tools are everywhere right now — but most vendors oversell what they can actually deliver for a small business. The honest answer is that the right tool depends entirely on your existing workflow, team size, and how much time you're losing to manual tasks today.

Common Mistake

['Starting with the most complex use case instead of the simplest.', 'Buying a platform before running a 30-day single-use-case pilot.', 'Not involving the staff who will actually use it in the selection process.']
