Yet most tools are far too narrow, brittle, or slow, to support this transformation.
Fully custom-implemented AI is expensive to build, iterate, and deploy across the range of use cases – and the agility each of them demands – in an organization.

Spreadsheets were originally designed for (and remain mired in the legacy of) number crunching and not organization/collaboration
