Your point about smaller businesses using AI to make internal tools to solve a very specific problem is spot-on. I'm seeing this happen a lot. Because, often, those bigger tools (say, Hubspot) are behemoths and too cumbersome to be light and agile and actually DO THE THING they promise will make your life easier. Exhibit A: your struggle in publishing a blog post. So you go build something that does solve your problem in a lightweight way.

Right, and when there's no gate keeper to get a tool exactly how you want, things will definitely change.
