Which AI products haven't made it and which one would you return from AI graveyard? [report]

Since AI became publicly available (2022), almost every product started containing an "AI" label. It is like a trend (I would say a spreading virus.)

But not everybody can be successful.

Around 42% of corporate AI initiatives are abandoned. (S&P Global report says)
Problems include funding, technical problems, competition, scalability issues, or weak demand.

TechCrunch shared in the article ~10 AI projects that didn't go well:

1. OpenAI: Discontinued or absorbed standalone products like Atlas, Operator, DALL-E and Sora.

2. Apple Siri: Delayed its promised AI upgrade repeatedly, leading to a $250 million settlement.

3. Character AI: Bankruptcy following legal challenges, regulatory pressure, and operational difficulties.

4. Relay: Shut down after larger platforms integrated similar AI automation features.

5. Ollie: Closed due to weak growth, insufficient funding, and difficulty differentiating itself.

6. Microsoft Recall: Faced major privacy and security concerns.

7. Notion Mail: Scheduled to shut down as users increasingly preferred other AI email agents.

8. Humane AI Pin: Failed to deliver reliable performance and shut down its hardware business.

9. Rabbit R1: Struggled with poor reviews and unreliable functionality but continues development.

10. Huxe, Yupp and Figgs AI: Shut down due to competition, weak product-market fit, or unsustainable operating costs.

We are still talking about a bursting AI bubble, but I think that AI will remain with us for a long time (the same was with the internet).

Anyway, if you could arrange a comeback from the above-mentioned products, which idea would deserve a second chance to succeed?

I liked Yupp – comparing results from more AI models side by side and Humane AI Pin – a wearable for AI communication.
