We talk a lot about what AI is amazing at now.
But I’m curious what still feels frustratingly unreliable or awkward in real daily use.

Not benchmark stuff.
Real workflow stuff.

For me:
maintaining long-term project context
keeping conversations organized
reliable multi-step execution
not losing useful outputs across chats/tools

AI got insanely good at generation.

But I still feel like “AI workspace / memory / continuity” is weirdly unfinished.

What still breaks for you?

I’ve been experimenting with small digital products lately and noticed direct sales are much harder than I expected unless you already have an audience.

So now I’m curious whether affiliates/small creators are a better growth channel for low-ticket products instead.

Not talking about huge launches or influencer deals — more like small Gumroad-style products under $10.

Has anyone here actually made this work consistently?

Not the “replace your entire company with AI agents” stuff.

I mean something small that genuinely stuck.

Maybe:
- summarizing long emails
- brainstorming
- coding help
- voice transcription
- journaling
- research
- automation
- meeting notes
- content drafts

I noticed most AI tools feel exciting for a week, but the ones people keep using are usually the boring tools that quietly save time every day.

Curious what actually survived long term for you.

Not the overhyped “make $10k overnight” stuff.

I’m curious what AI tools people genuinely ended up using every single day after the hype settled down.

For me it’s honestly ChatGPT for brainstorming and research. I thought AI tools would be a phase for me but now I use them almost daily.

What’s yours and what do you actually use it for?
