We’re Not Impressed by AI That Draws a Cat. We Like the One That Fixes Procurement

Let’s play a game.
Open LinkedIn, scroll for 45 seconds, and take a shot every time you see the words:
“ChatGPT,” “Copilot,” or “AI is changing everything.”

Actually—don’t. You won’t make it past lunch.

Every other tool claims to write your emails, generate your roadmap, and reinvent your life before coffee.
Some are genuinely cool. Others feel like they were built during a layover.

But here’s the thing:
The AI that actually matters isn’t the one trending.
It’s the one quietly fixing your pricing logic, cleaning up your contracts, and finally getting Kevin from IT to stop asking “Did you try restarting?”

Let’s talk about the unsexy tools—the ones that don’t pitch at TED, but absolutely run the business.

1. The AI That Builds Models Faster Than Your Budget Approver Says “No”

Want to predict churn, demand, or delivery delays?
You could hire a data science team, build from scratch, and spend 4 months explaining what an API is to Finance.

Or you could try tools like DataRobot or Obviously.AI, which let you build serious predictive models with zero code.

Six days. Six dashboards. No drama.
Just working software. Imagine that.

2. The AI That Reads Your Contracts So You Don’t Have To

Buried in page 47 of that vendor contract:
A lovely clause that says your price goes up 30% next quarter.

Tools like Evisort and Lexion catch stuff like that—before your CFO has to fake a smile during the renewal call.

They’re not sexy. They’re not chatty.
They’re the legal team that never sleeps (or invoices).

3. The AI That Approves Things Before Your Brain Can Say “Ugh”

Zapier is great. But let’s be honest: it’s still duct tape.

Tonkean and Moveworks are like having a super-organized, caffeine-powered chief of staff embedded into every Slack channel.

Expense approvals? IT access? HR forms?
All handled. Zero “friendly reminder” emails needed.

4. The AI That Fixes Pricing Before the Market Punishes You

Pricing isn’t about spreadsheets anymore. It’s about reacting before competitors even notice you moved.

Pricemoov and BlackCurve do this with ML. They adapt, optimize, and update pricing faster than that intern who forgot what “margin” meant.

The result?
You stop leaving money on the table—or worse, underpricing yourself out of business.

5. The AI That Finds the Genius Hiding Behind a Typo

Most good candidates never make it past resume filters.
They didn’t keyword-stuff “machine learning synergy” into their CV, and they don’t brag on LinkedIn.

But Hiretual (HireEZ) and Fetcher?
They look deeper—GitHub, side projects, even research papers.
They find builders, not just applicants.

One of our best hires came from this. No fancy resume. Just shipped code, a side hustle, and hunger.

Final Thought:

The best AI tools don’t launch with hype.
They quietly show up, fix a mess, and ask nothing in return.

They’re not drawing digital unicorns.
They’re keeping your business from tripping over the same spreadsheet for the fourth time this week.

In a world full of demos, they deliver. And that’s the most important thing, right?

If you’ve found an AI tool that made your life easier without a single press release—DM me. We’re always looking for builders who prefer quiet results over loud promises.
