MIT says 95% of GenAI pilots fail.

The secret? 67% succeed with vendor partnerships. That stat stopped me in my tracks. I’ve seen the hype, the dashboards, the promises.

But I’ve also seen the pilots that never make it past the “cool demo” phase. Why does this happen? When companies go it alone, they hit the same walls:

🔸 Tool overload without support

🔸 Teams lost in setup and troubleshooting

🔸 No real training, so the “AI agent” stays a black box But here’s where things turn around: When you work with a specialized partner, everything changes. The MIT report says 67% of these projects actually work. That’s not luck. That’s real support, real know-how, and real partnership.

At UponAI I tell every client: you’re not just getting the tool. You’re getting us in your corner.

Onboarding is not a hand-off. We train you to build, adapt, and grow your own Voice AI Agents. (And yes, we’ll be there for every “what does this button do?” moment.) My favorite way to say it: Give a man a Voice Agent, and you feed him for a day.

Teach a man to create a Voice Agent, and you feed him for a lifetime. That’s the power of partnership. That’s how you beat the odds.
