“Bain & Company is vibe coding AI replicas of targets to figure out what tech companies are still worth buying. The new diligence tool has already talked at least one firm out of a bid.”

“Bain's data shows that across every major business function, the gap between 'in pilot' and 'in production' is enormous. Everyone has a proof of concept. Almost nobody has something running at scale that has actually changed how the business operates.”

“40% of the companies that tracked their spending recorded cost savings of less than 10% from their AI initiatives. Still, 90% of those surveyed whose AI investments underdelivered plan to increase their AI budgets next year.”
