AI, tools and transformation distinguishes making a tool from discovering which problem needs one. Employees who know a workflow may not see an automation opportunity; a builder may still choose the wrong problem. Even a useful local solution can require coordination across departments and systems. Evans describes a recurring movement between improvised tools such as spreadsheets and institutionalized software with audit, maintenance and accountability. AI changes the choices and thresholds along that spectrum.[3]

AI, tools and transformationben-evans.comAn essay about task discovery, adoption and the movement between improvised and institutionalized software.
Start with the improvised-to-institutionalized spectrum and compare it with one workflow you know. No coding prerequisite; the essay asks product and organizational questions rather than forecasting model scores.
Author[3]Benedict Evans explains why he sees foundation models as commodities, why chatbots are not the product, and how capital limits constrain AI infrastructure spending.
