TechCrunch compiles a running list of AI projects that failed or missed expectations

Details

TechCrunch has published a running list — described as an “AI graveyard” — cataloguing projects and startups in artificial intelligence that have shut down or failed to meet expectations.

The article cites Apple’s repeatedly delayed AI version of Siri as one example of a project experiencing persistent postponements. This item is listed among other initiatives that did not deliver promised features or timelines.

Another example highlighted is OpenAI’s launch of a so‑called “super app,” which the piece characterizes as messily executed at release. TechCrunch groups such cases together to illustrate various projects that have fallen short of their goals.

The list is presented as a living resource, with entries added when projects cease operations or are broadly viewed as having underperformed. The format implies ongoing updates as new examples emerge.

Rather than focusing on a single company type, the compilation includes a range of initiatives — from major tech products to startups — that have been discontinued or failed to meet expectations. TechCrunch positions the overview as a way to track setbacks within the AI sector.

The piece offers a centralized look at projects whose results did not match the initial promises, providing a reference point for followers of AI developments.
