Since Halloween just happened, it’s the perfect time to talk about the “𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐬” some AI vendors wear to create the illusion of proprietary solutions.

Just like those ghosts in white sheets and haphazard eyeholes, we’re all seeing vendors “𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐮𝐩” their products like LangChain and stating that they can “𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞”, to drive agentic enterprise AI Agents.

This is similar to what was seen a couple of years ago where companies used graphical interfaces “𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬” over frameworks like Microsoft’s Chatbot, to sell you “𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐛𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧”.

While it may look like a unique creation on the outside, beneath the surface, it’s often just a wrapper 👻 on a pre-existing framework they don’t even own.

Real innovation drives progress and focuses on solving specific challenges through genuine, adaptable technology. But for companies just selling wrappers, it’s clear they’re not committed to being true business partners.

In an era of AI hype, it’s crucial to understand when a vendor is simply wearing a “costume” instead of providing the real, dynamic solutions companies need.
