For many companies, however, the decision to build their own AI agents or
work with a consultant isn’t an easy one, says Chris Ackerson, head of AI
at AlphaSense, an AI-powered market intelligence firm.

Large companies may be tempted to roll their own highly customized agents
,
he says, but they can get tripped up by fragmented internal data, by
underestimating the resources needed, and by lacking in-house expertise.

“While some companies may achieve success, it’s common for these projects
to spiral out of control in terms of cost and complexity,” Ackerson says.
“In many cases, buying a solution from a trusted partner can help
organizations avoid the pitfalls of builder’s remorse and accelerate their
path to success.”
