The research shows that simpler, more focused tools tend to outperform overly complex ones, and that giving AI clear instructions about how to use each tool matters more than having lots of options available. For businesses, this means the real payoff comes from carefully designing what your AI can actually do, rather than trying to make it do everything at once.
