AI solutions should deliver real application, says Xoriant CEO

Here's the thing: the AI hype cycle is exhausting, and it's mostly just flashy demos. Xoriant is right—we need to stop selling abstract models and start delivering tangible ROI. Most of the garbage out there is just a glorified prompt interface; it’s not actual, production-ready software.

We're burning budget on feature bloat instead of solving actual business problems. A model that sits in a Jupyter notebook is useless to a CTO. The focus needs to shift entirely from ML accuracy metrics to implementation feasibility and measurable operational improvements for the client.

Actionable: Mandate that all AI development projects prioritize demonstrable ROI metrics over theoretical model performance.
