Unpopular opinion: the AI tool my brother pushed on me for my side gig was actually worth every penny
My brother works in logistics and kept telling me I needed to try an AI scheduling tool for the small lawn care business I run on weekends. I brushed him off for 3 months because I figured it was just hype, but I finally caved after double booking myself twice in one week last June. The thing cut my route planning from 90 minutes every Sunday down to about 15, and it caught a gap in my Thursday afternoons I never noticed. So now I'm the guy telling everyone at the hardware store about it, which feels weird. What's the one AI tool you wrote off as nonsense and later had to eat your words on?
