The AI graveyard: a running list of projects and startups that didn’t make it

From Apple's repeatedly delayed Siri AI to OpenAI's messy "super app" launch, here's a look at the AI projects that shut down or missed expectations.

The short version

• Get your pass and bring someone with you at 50% off.
• Relay, an AI-powered workflow automation tool built as an alternative to Zapier, shut down entirely in August.
• More recently, chatbot platform Character.ai filed for bankruptcy just five years after launching.

What happened

Aside from Character.ai and Relay, plenty of AI bets never even survive inside the companies that build them. According to S&P Global Market Intelligence , about 42% of AI initiatives are ultimately abandoned by their corporate parents.

Why it matters

The reasons vary: insufficient funding, technical challenges, competition, difficulty scaling, or just weak user demand.
