January 2025 Summaries

In 2024, generative AI has become a priority for boards, with 72% of organizations using it in at least one business function, yet many struggle to convert experimentation into impactful outcomes. Despite 98% of companies experimenting with AI, only 26% have developed necessary capabilities beyond proofs of concept, resulting in a significant gap between potential and realization. The challenges are both organizational, involving changes in team dynamics and processes, and technical, particularly concerning integration, security, and accuracy issues. Arcade.dev offers a solution to these technical challenges with its MCP runtime, providing pre-built connections, secure access, speed, reliability, and accuracy control, while allowing flexible deployment options. Companies that effectively implement AI, such as those using Arcade's solutions, can gain a competitive edge, as evidenced by GenAI early adopters achieving a 10% EBIT advantage over competitors.
