The thing that's a bit different about AI from a CRM is it translates pretty directly into time savings. You only need each employee to save 1-2 hours of work per month to break even with a $80/seat subscription.
It's true that it can easily save 1-2 hours per month, but it only seems worth it if those hours saved are spent doing something else productive/profitable.
It appears that a lot of the time saved is spent either 1) doing nothing instead, 2) waiting for the AI to finish, or 3) increasing the hours spent elsewhere down/up the chain for reviewing, fixing, auditing.
The obvious benefit of anything offering to save time is that now you have time for "higher order work", but often, we use the time saved to be lazy.
After all, that's the underlying reason we used the time-saving, corner-cutting tool in the first place.
