Why standalone enterprise AI point tools will get ripped out within two years

Argument: the dozen single-purpose AI contracts enterprises are signing — intake assistants, prior-auth checkers, claims coders, call summarizers, renewal predictors, support reply bots — will mostly be ripped out within two years. Each demos well, but each means another contract, another login, and another vendor holding customer data.
Three reasons they get squeezed out:
- ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini already connect to email, docs, CRM and tickets, and improve every quarter;
- Teams with engineers build their own agents in-stack for control of data and permissions;
- The deciding factor: systems where work actually happens (EHR, billing, core banking, claims) are embedding AI into the workflow itself — enterprises pay for outcomes.
