AI is the biggest megaphone anybody ever built.

And people keep asking, *will it be good for us* —

like asking the microphone what the singer will say.

Here's the test. Before the tool arrived — what was the hour being used for? Before the feed — whose name was being spoken? Before the model — what was actually wanted?

Whatever that answer is,

the tool just put a spotlight on it.

Bigger stage. Same you.

So: be useful on the small stage first. The big one is coming.
