MIT finds the gap isn't just the technology — it's pairing a sound approach with the best AI-native tools.

50%
Of these pilots stall before go-live
Gartner finds poor data quality, growing costs, and unclear value stall most AI agent rollouts before go-live.
The path forward
Pilots stall without a clear view of what AI agents can do now, how AI-native tools fit into your tech stack, and if the effort drives real value to your team.
8%
Of investors have deployed agents
State Street finds most GPs and LPs are still planning or piloting AI — the window to lead is wide open.
The path forward
