LLMs Talk. Agents Act. Here’s why 95% of AI pilots are failing enterprises.

Fortune closed its coverage of MIT’s State of AI in Business 2025 report with a clear signal: 95 percent of AI pilots are failing. The organizations that are succeeding are implementing agentic AI systems that can learn, remember, and act within set boundaries.
Enterprise AI success isn’t happening with one-off free-trials or in-house experiments. Businesses need more than hallucinating LLMs and ChatGPT, they need platforms that specialise in the nuances of complex workflows, contextual language, and messy human data. That’s why agentic AI platforms like Oraion are the strongest step forward in enterprise AI success.
What is agentic AI?
Agentic AI moves beyond answering prompts. It is designed to operate inside a business as an active system. Think of it as a system or layer built on top of AI models that gives them agency. That means it can:
Learn from your organization’s data
Remember context across tasks and teams
Act independently within clear guardrails
So while an LLM can talk, an agent will act.
Why ChatGPT is not enough
ChatGPT and similar tools are excellent for individuals. They can draft, summarize, and answer questions quickly. Even ChatGPT Enterprise, when connected to company data, remains a reactive tool. It does not adapt to workflows. It does not carry memory across projects or departments. It cannot run processes end to end without human prompting.
In short, ChatGPT is a powerful assistant. Agentic AI is a system that becomes part of the organization itself.
Why enterprises need agentic AI
MIT’s research found that 95 percent of AI pilots are failing. The models are strong, but the tools do not close the learning gap. Enterprises need AI that can integrate deeply, automate processes, and deliver measurable impact on profit and loss. That is exactly what agentic AI is built to do.
The early adopters are already moving. They are deploying agentic systems that streamline reporting, cut overspending, and automate operations. These organizations are not experimenting. They are building the foundation for the next decade of enterprise.
Why Oraion is here
Oraion was built for this moment. We are not a generic assistant. We are an agentic AI platform designed for the enterprise from the start. Our system learns from your data, adapts to your workflows, automates reporting and back-office operations, and lives where your team already works.
Agentic AI is not a glimpse of the future. It is here. At Oraion, we are building it today.
