McKinsey has just published its new “State of AI 2025” and the data is clear: 88% of companies are already using AI, but almost two-thirds are still in the testing or pilot phase, with no real impact at scale. At the same time, more than half acknowledge that AI is already helping them innovate and differentiate themselves from the competition, although only a minority still see a significant effect on their global EBIT.

What do “AI high performers” do differently? They don’t stop at point efficiency: they use AI to redesign workflows, launch new products, and scale agents and use cases across various business functions. They have involved leadership, clear human validation processes, and solid foundations in data, cloud, and product.

At Taniwa, we have been helping companies cross precisely that chasm for years: from beautiful experiments in demos to live products in production. We combine data analysis, cloud architecture, and agile development to build agents, models, and services that integrate into your real processes and deliver value in weeks, not years.

If you recognize yourself in the McKinsey report—high interest in AI, many pilots, little global impact—let’s talk. Let’s design the next step together: less “trying things,” more products and business decisions driven by AI.
