AI software vendors say potential customers are taking longer to evaluate purchases, and shopping less eagerly than they were a year ago. Last year represented something of a boon era for vendors peddling AI apps. Spurred by board-level mandates, corporate FOMO and an aggressive campaign from tech giants about the world-changing capabilities of AI agents, enterprises were spending willingly and wildly. That isn’t the case anymore. Vendors say big companies have become more cautious about what they buy. They’re taking longer to evaluate solutions, involving more internal stakeholders from legal and finance teams, and placing more emphasis on the kind of financial returns they might get out of the investment. “There was a period where the early adopters were moving very fast on really interesting technology and that piece has slowed down. Everyone is a bit more cautious. Early adopters who rushed into AI pilots and even deployments last year often hit a wall and learned some hard lessons. It wasn’t necessarily because the technology didn’t work, but because they found they didn’t have the right guardrails or didn’t fully understand the reality of the business process they were trying to automate. submitted by /u/XIFAQ
