AI business adoption accelerated significantly, with 78% of organizations using AI in 2024, up from 55% the previous year[6].; Copilots dominate the horizontal AI market, capturing $7.2 billion (86% of the $8.4 billion horizontal AI category), led by ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude for Work, and Microsoft Copilot[4]. These tools are becoming embedded across enterprise workflows rather than standalone applications.
