Curated AI ecosystems push enterprises past endless pilots

Enterprise AI is consolidating around pre-assembled vendor stacks—bundled models, infrastructure, and integrations—rather than companies building custom solutions from scratch. This addresses the pilot-to-production gridlock that has slowed corporate AI spending for two years: vendors are removing the integration tax by shipping complete systems, which lowers both decision friction and deployment risk. Competitive advantage now flows to platform owners who can make their ecosystems sticky through lock-in, switching costs, or genuine workflow integration, not to AI researchers optimizing isolated models.
