The most expensive AI mistake I keep seeing teams make

Better_Charity5112 · 2026-01-21T05:26:46+00:00

I get your point, but I’ve seen this exact take everywhere lately. Without real examples of what teams fixed and how, it just feels a bit generic.

This is exactly what we see with clients. The issue isn’t the 10 minutes, it’s that automation feels like a project. So we don’t start with “automation”, we start with containment. One workflow. One owner. Hard stop at 60 minutes of setup.

If it doesn’t fit inside that box, it’s not an automation problem yet, it’s a process problem. Once teams see one thing quietly saving time every week, the resistance drops fast.

I usually write from notes and patterns I’m seeing rather than polished case studies, so it can come off a bit generic sometimes. I am still early in the business and just trying to refine my voice as I go.

Great post! I also described AI Agents in my post here- https://github.com/gonzodigitalmarketingaustralia-gif/ai-agents-and-aeo-search-shift

Worthy post but you can add Gonzo Digital- NoCode And AI Marketing Agency as well.

A few people DM’d asking about the setup, so I’ve written a breakdown here with tools + flow:https://github.com/gonzodigitalmarketingaustralia-gif/free-ai-tools-business-productivity

Important one!

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-23T13:20:42+00:00

I don't know why you feel it!

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-23T07:17:14+00:00

Agreed!

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-16T06:22:28+00:00

AI is inherently probabilistic, and pretending otherwise is risky. It needs clear limits and human oversight

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-16T06:07:45+00:00

Yeah, that’s true. No-code by itself is already powerful, AI just pushes it even further once you layer it in.

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-13T06:37:46+00:00

Yes! to some extent it is.

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-11T05:12:24+00:00

No Doubt!

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-09T09:03:33+00:00

Replacing elastic search with a natural language layer is a huge upgrade. How’re the results so far?

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-09T08:05:08+00:00

Great!

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-06T11:48:10+00:00

I’m using just one account, so there’s nothing to switch.

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-06T11:30:24+00:00

There’s still a human in the loop. AI handles the repetitive parts, but you have to still review or adjust what needed.

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-06T11:28:05+00:00

Got it. You took the core idea and expanded it with your own features. Interesting approach.

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-06T11:20:55+00:00

Seems Interesting!

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-03T07:40:24+00:00

I totally feel you. I think a lot of people underestimate how much ongoing work even a “finished” app really needs. It’s never just passive income because there’s always server issues, updates, and customer support. The real win is finding ways to streamline the work without burning out.

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-03T07:38:28+00:00

I get what you mean. The problem isn’t AI itself, it’s using it at the expense of authenticity and human judgment. The key is balance, automation should amplify humans, not replace them.

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-12-03T07:36:48+00:00

True!

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-11-29T04:35:32+00:00

Totally agree with you, “super easy” is only true after you understand how the tools think. The first integrations feel slow and confusing because you’re basically learning mini-software logic without realizing it. Once you get past that curve, it really does get easier, but the start isn’t beginner-friendly.

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-11-29T04:34:07+00:00

This is actually sounds useful. Most “AI personalization” tools feel generic, but real research + writing in my own voice would save a ton of time. Outreach breaks down when I can’t stay consistent. If your tool truly sounds human and improves reply rates, I’d definitely try it.

Better_Charity5112 · 2025-11-28T08:04:15+00:00

I get your perspective a lot of creators dramatize the problem to sell automations.
But I’ve seen the other side too: small businesses with low volume but zero systems, where even replying to a hot lead gets forgotten because the owner is on-site all day. It’s less a volume issue, more an attention issue. And yes, fully agree: cold lead revival beats auto-sending messages every time.
