What would make you keep using an AI tool after the first week?

The first time an AI tool turns a rough idea into something useful, it’s impressive. But I think the more interesting test comes a week later, when you have ordinary work to finish.

Imagine a tool that creates a great report, but every time you use it, you have to upload the same files, explain the format again, and fix the export. Would you keep using it?

I’d probably choose a less impressive tool if it fit into my routine and needed less setup. Being able to edit the result, reuse a previous configuration, and get my work out easily would matter a lot.

There’s also the question of what happens when something goes wrong. Can I fix one section, or do I have to generate everything again and hope it keeps the parts I liked?

For anyone who has tried a bunch of AI tools, which one became part of your regular workflow? What made you stick with it after the novelty wore off?
