🔵 Why 91% of AI Projects Fail (And How to Be the 9%)

Hey friends,

Last Tuesday, a Fortune 500 CIO told me his company spent $1M on an AI project that never went live.

Not delayed. Not scaled back. Never. Launched.

The tech worked. The budget was there. The team was excited.

So what went wrong?

He said: "We had everything except the one thing that mattered."

That conversation is why I'm writing to you today - and why I'm hosting a LinkedIn Live on October 16th that could save your next AI initiative. Join me to see what’s missing.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Master Agentic AI Engineering

The second cohort is open, and this one's different.

After our first intensive sold out in 48 hours, we're bringing back the 2-Day Agentic AI Architecture & Advanced Conversational Intelligence bootcamp - and this time, we're going deeper.

Gartner just named agentic AI the #1 strategic tech trend for 2025. 57% of IT leaders have already deployed AI agents. 96% plan to expand next year. Gartner predicts 80% of engineers will need to upskill by 2027 to keep up.

The future isn't chatbots. It's autonomous AI agents that can plan, reason, and act.

What You'll Master:

Day 1: Build Autonomous Enterprise-Grade AI Agents

Day 2: Advanced Conversational Intelligence Framework

🎁 BONUS: ServiceNow Integration Tips
🎁 Existing customers: Special discount
🎁 Groups of 5+: Team pricing available

Spaces limited. This is your chance to become one of the gold-standard AI engineers defining tomorrow's technology.

What’s New: AI Voice Automation Package for MSSPs

We just launched something MSPs and MSSPs have been asking for: a complete AI & voice automation package designed specifically for SOC/NOC workflows.

One MSSP went from 72% to 98% SLA compliance in 5 days using this exact package.

"We went from chaos to compliance in a week." - Director of SOC Operations

Talk to our team to integrate AI & voice automation into your escalation runbooks.

Tip: ask about AI-powered Parser Agent

Tech News: ServiceNow AI Voice Agents vs Voice2Me

As some of you might know, ServiceNow's Now Assist is rolling out AI voice capabilities. Here's what our ServiceNow Professional Services team sees you what need to know:

Where ServiceNow works best:

• Out-of-the-box use cases with minimal customization

• Standard service catalogs

Things to keep in mind:

• Cost: When doing ROI calc - be mindful of the cost of licensing and resources

• Customization: For custom use cases: architects + dev teams - is a must have

• Stability: New releases may break existing agents (we rebuilt ours after Zurich)

• Vendor lock-in: You will be using a single LLM provider

• Adoption lag: Two partners told us clients rolled back Now Assist

Quick Poll

Unlike most of the newsletter every issue is written by me, not AI. I want to share real insights and connect with you. Please take 3 seconds to answer this quick poll—I’ll post the results in the next issue.

💡 One More Thing

My daughter asked me last week: "Mom, why do some robots help and some just annoy people?"

I told her: "Because the good ones were built to solve a real problem - not just to be automated bots."

That's the difference between AI projects that launch and AI projects that stall.

Build AI that solves your real problem

See You October 16th

If you're tired of watching AI pilots gather dust, join me for the LinkedIn Live.

I'll show you what's missing -

and how to fix it.

Until then - keep connecting.
