The AI graveyard: a running list of projects and startups that didn’t make it

The AI industry is experiencing a period of consolidation, with many startups and projects failing to thrive. Relay, an AI-powered workflow automation tool, recently shut down as larger platforms like OpenAI and Google integrated similar automation features directly into their products. Even major players like OpenAI have faced challenges, as seen with their attempt to transform ChatGPT into a "super app" by combining various experiences, including "Chat," "Codex," and "Work" modes, and renaming the original version "ChatGPT Classic."

Unlike typical reports on AI successes, this article compiles a running list of AI projects and startups that have failed, including Relay and OpenAI's "super app" attempt.
