How to Choose the Right AI Tool
Don't try to use every tool. Start with one. Here are 3 questions to help you pick.
1. What's your biggest pain point right now?
If you're losing money and don't know why → ZeroOne DOTS. If your team is drowning in repetitive tasks → Zapier AI. If customer support is overwhelming → Freshworks Freddy. If you just want to try AI → ChatGPT or Claude (they're free).
2. What's your budget?
Start with free tools first. ChatGPT, Notion, and Zapier all have free plans. Test them for 2 weeks. Only upgrade if you're actually using them daily. For custom solutions like ZeroOne, the ROI should be clear before you spend a rupee.
3. Do you need Indian support?
If you want support during IST hours and payment in rupees, go with Indian companies like ZeroOne, Zoho, or Freshworks. Global tools like ChatGPT and Notion work fine in India but support can be slower.
