🧠 This Week's Vibe
After Tuesday's tax credit issue, dozens of you wrote in, many shocked at how much money they'd overlooked.
But here's the bigger picture: Tax credits are just one layer. AI-powered profit recovery is the next. And it's already happening across small businesses, without hiring developers or paying consultants $50K.
📊 What We're Seeing in Real-World Results……
You've Likely Seen it in Your Own Business:
Manual admin eats up hours
Missed follow-ups hurt your retention
Inconsistent systems = lost revenue
Now imagine if AI handled the repetitive stuff—automatically.
✅ Morehouse College saved hundreds of hours using AI to rewrite 900+ meta descriptions
✅ Sandler cut their sales cycle from 90 to 45 days using AI-assisted personalization
✅ Kaplan Early Learning reduced customer response time by over 30%, even as ticket volume rose
These are real teams solving real problems with practical automation.
