The Real Reason Your AI Project Is Stuck in Pilot Mode

Ever wonder why so many enterprise AI projects never make it past the pilot stage? It’s not the AI—it’s the foundation. In this video, we break down why rushing into complex models without fixing inconsistent data, fragile pipelines, and afterthought governance is a recipe for failure. Fix the basics first!

And the way most teams are trying to fix it — bigger context windows, more reasoning, another eval — is also wrong. The generative model stopped being the hard part of agentic analytics months ago. Wiring an LLM to a warehouse is a weekend project.

Build a Custom OBDC Driver as a Server
