What happened

There were never easy AI wins, even if there was easy money going around. Small and mid-sized businesses were eager to be early adopters, and they bought fast.

Many of those products were generic: They did what traditional software already did, with AI fairy dust sprinkled on top. Others saved a bit of time on something nobody’s job depended on.

A 20% improvement on a noncritical task makes for a nice demo and a dead renewal. The market is now correcting for that.
