I did a business review with a company that was paying for 3 different AI note takers (only 1 of which was being used), a bunch of OpenAI Pro licenses that weren’t being used (on top of an OpenAI Teams account), Grammarly for customer-facing comms that the team never adopted, and we ran out of time before we could get to reviewing and pruning several abandoned AI marketing tools. It was all-in thousands of dollars per month in wasted subscriptions.
