Before You Buy Another AI Tool: The 20-Minute Audit
Many businesses already pay for AI features they never turned on. A quick audit of what you have, what you use and what's actually missing.
By InnoStak Team
New AI tools launch every week, and most promise to "save hours." Before you add another subscription, spend 20 minutes on what you already pay for. Many common business tools have added AI features in the last couple of years, and plenty of teams never switched them on.
Step 1: List your subscriptions (5 minutes)
Check your card statements for the last two months. List every software subscription: email and docs, CRM, accounting, website builder, scheduling, social media, phone system.
Step 2: Check each for built-in AI (10 minutes)
For each tool, look at its settings, help pages or recent release notes for AI or assistant features. Note:
- What it can do (draft emails, summarize calls, write posts, categorize expenses)
- Whether it costs extra
- Whether it's turned on
