The Details

An honest look at your options

vs. DIY Tools

ChatGPT, Zapier, and no-code builders are great starting points. But they hit a ceiling fast — generic outputs, no strategy, and you spend more time tweaking than working.

Good for

  • Quick one-off tasks
  • Simple automations
  • Experimenting with AI

Falls short when

  • Custom workflows for your business
  • Anything beyond templates
  • Ongoing reliability and support

vs. Freelancers

Freelancers can be talented, but finding one who truly understands AI is a gamble. Quality varies wildly, and if they disappear mid-project, you're stuck.

Good for

  • Budget-friendly one-time projects
  • Specific, well-defined tasks
  • When you know exactly what you need

Falls short when

  • Strategic AI guidance
  • Consistent quality across projects
  • Long-term maintenance and iteration

vs. Big Agencies

Agencies do great work — but they're built for big budgets. You'll pay for overhead, account managers, and timelines measured in months instead of weeks.

Good for

  • Large-scale enterprise projects
  • When budget isn't a constraint
  • Multi-department rollouts

Falls short when

  • Small business budgets
  • Fast turnarounds
  • Personal attention and flexibility

vs. Not Using AI

Waiting feels safe, but your competitors aren't waiting. Every month without AI is time spent on tasks that could be automated — and opportunities you're leaving on the table.

Good for

  • Businesses with zero repetitive tasks
  • Industries with strict AI regulations
  • When you genuinely don't need it (rare)

Falls short when

  • Staying competitive
  • Scaling without hiring
  • Reclaiming hours lost to busywork
