Georgian Partners, in collaboration with NewtonX and an 11-partner global consortium, released the AI, Applied Benchmark Report showcasing AI transformations in B2B software and enterprise companies worldwide.
The report, based on a survey of 612 executives, highlights growing AI adoption, structural barriers, emerging use cases like Vibe Coding, and the maturity curve of AI integration.
83% of B2B companies now prioritize AI, with motivations shifting towards competitive advantage over cost savings and revenue growth.
Vibe Coding, automated code generation using AI, has rapidly gained traction to address the shortage of AI technical talent, aiding faster delivery and cleaner code production.
AI advancements have led to improved productivity metrics but underscore weaknesses in areas like stability and resilience, which still rely on human intervention.
Companies are making significant infrastructure upgrades to support AI development, with increased data sourcing and diversification of AI model providers.
Georgian's AI maturity model shows uneven progress, with most companies in the intermediate stage, struggling to connect AI projects directly to revenue.
Clear ROI measurement remains a challenge, despite AI's positive impact on customer satisfaction and long-term value.
Cost management is improving as companies leverage third-party AI solutions and reduce data storage costs, software maintenance, and labor expenses.
Vibe Coding is highlighted as a strategic investment for modern software development, signifying the shift towards operationalizing and embedding AI for scalable business impact.
