Buying an AI tool is the easy part. Changing the workflow is the hard part. That's why so many AI projects look incredible in demos, then quietly disappear inside the company.

In this solo episode, Armando J. Perez-Carreno breaks down the gap between AI demos and real business deployment, and shares the workflow first approach his agency uses with clients.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

• Why Gartner predicts at least 30% of generative AI projects will be abandoned after proof of concept
• The difference between launching an AI system and actually deploying one
• A 7 question readiness test to know if your workflow is ready for AI
• How to map a workflow before you decide where AI belongs (and where it doesn't)
• A real client onboarding example that shows where AI helps and where simple automation is enough
• The three kinds of AI tool purchases (personal productivity, team workflow, operating system change) and which one most small businesses should focus on
• The exact questions to ask any vendor before signing an AI subscription

If you're tired of shiny demos that don't survive contact with real data, this episode gives you a practical filter to make better decisions.
