The Three Waves of AI: Why Your 2024 Foundation Won't Survive 2028
The AI evolution is moving in three distinct waves. AI FIXR founder Julie explains why fixing your "Operational Reckoning" now is the only way to reach the Agentic future.
The Most Expensive AI Project? The One That’s "Almost" Done.
I’ve been fixing enterprise AI for nearly 6 years. If you think the current "mess" in your implementation is just a phase, you’re missing the bigger picture. We are moving through a massive structural shift, and most companies are building skyscrapers on 2024 foundations.
The Three Waves of the AI Evolution
2022–2024: The Prototype Rush. Everyone built a chatbot. Most are currently spinning their wheels in the hangar because they were built to impress stakeholders, not to operate at scale.
2025–2027: The Operational Reckoning. This is where we are right now. Boards are demanding ROI. "Cool demos" are no longer enough to justify the budget. It is time to fix the plumbing.
2028 & Beyond: The Agentic Standard. AI is moving from "assisting" to "executing." But you cannot automate a broken process. If your foundation is weak now, you will be locked out of the autonomous future.
The Insight: Closing the Integration Gap
Fixing AI isn’t just a one-off project; it’s the bridge between "New Tech" and "Real Results." As AI speeds up, the Integration Gap between what the tech can do and what your business can actually handle only gets wider.
I launched AI FIXR to close that gap. Drawing on nearly 6 years of leading AI initiatives for brands like Soho House, Lloyds Banking Group, and Fossil Group, we don’t just patch pilots. We build the foundation for you to scale, no matter what model comes next.
