There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

Despite the rush to integrate powerful new models, about 5% of AI pilot programs achieve rapid revenue acceleration; the vast majority stall, delivering little to no measurable impact on P&L.

The research—based on 150 interviews with leaders, a survey of 350 employees, and an analysis of 300 public AI deployments—paints a clear divide between success stories and stalled projects.

    So you’re saying you have no professional coding experience, yet you know that a team of professionals couldn’t produce code at the quality you want?

    Also, saying “extremely small company” when you mean self employed is weird. It’s fine to have your own company for a business/contracting.

    I just hope you actually understand the code that has been produced and no customer or company data is at risk.

      Yup. The absolute only useful task I’ve found it to handle is code documentation, which is as fast as it’s allowed to travel in my sphere.

      Financially, I earn a really low amount. I e been freelance for a while, but am trying to grow the business, so it’s extremely small.

      All the stuff I’m using AI for is just for presentation of internal materials. Nothing critical.

        I feel similar.

        The AI is great for low value tasks that eat time but aren’t difficult nor require high skill, nor are they risky. That’s the stuff that’s traditionally really difficult to automate.

        When I’m actually doing the core parts of my job AI is so awful it’s clear humans are not going anywhere.

        But those annoying side tasks need to get done.

        I’ve set up a bunch of read only AI tool and that’s enough to speed up huge amounts of work.
