MIT says 95% of AI pilots fail — here’s how BusyKeys is winning

AI that automates the tedious tasks, scales with you, and just works.

Why Most AI Pilots Fail

MIT’s new GenAI Divide report just revealed a staggering insight: 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots fail to produce measurable ROI (read the study here).

The issue isn’t the models themselves, it’s the missing infrastructure around them. Most companies launch flashy proof of concepts in sales or marketing, but these projects collapse because they:

  • Don’t integrate into workflows

  • Lack observability and audit trails

  • Have no governance or lifecycle management

As MIT points out, the real ROI from AI is happening in back-office automation replacing repetitive administrative tasks, streamlining operations, and scaling without extra headcount.

Where BusyKeys Is Different

BusyKeys was built specifically to avoid “pilot purgatory.” Our platform has been production ready from day one, with observability, governance, and lifecycle management baked in.

We’re not selling hype. We’re delivering real systems, running inside real businesses, with perfect accuracy.

Take Experience Vacation Rentals (EVR), a large property management company in Wildwood, NJ:

  • Their BusyKeys bot automatically generates every lease, uploads agreements to DocuSign, tracks signatures, and follows up with tenants and owners.

  • In just three weeks, the bot has created 900+ agreements, representing over $1.2M in contracted volume.

  • The system runs 24/7 without manual intervention — and EVR now handles a workload that previously consumed a quarter of their offshore admin team.

Our Model: AI That Scales With You

Unlike most vendors, BusyKeys doesn’t charge by the user or usage. Instead, we provide a reasonably priced subscription that keeps your systems continuously updated with the newest AI models.

What you get:

  • End-to-end automation of repetitive admin work: contracts, emails, customer support bots, SMS, even call handling.

  • Continuous updates to keep your AI current — no rebuilds, no costly consultants.

  • Scalable growth without headcount — let your team focus on higher-value work while BusyKeys handles the busywork.

The Bottom Line

MIT’s research shows the winners in AI are the ones who can deliver real results in production, not pilots. BusyKeys is already proving that difference for companies like EVR — and we can do the same for you.
