This document from the IBM Institute for Business Value explores how CEOs can leverage generative AI to transform their businesses. It examines key areas including digital product engineering, IT automation, AI model optimization, platform development, open innovation, application modernization, responsible AI, tech spending, operating model transformation, and talent management.

The report emphasizes the importance of a human-centered approach, ethical considerations, and the need for strategic investment to maximize the return on generative AI initiatives. Practical advice and research data, gathered from numerous surveys of executives globally, are provided to guide CEOs in navigating this rapidly evolving technological landscape.

The ultimate goal is to equip CEOs with the knowledge and tools to successfully integrate generative AI into their organizations while mitigating risks.

Why does owning the AI stack matter?

ibl.ai is the agentic AI platform where you own all the code and the data. You self-host the entire stack inside your own perimeter, run it model-agnostic across any LLM and switch anytime, and pay by usage with no per-seat pricing — so you can deploy anywhere: your cloud, on-premise, GovCloud, or fully air-gapped.

  • You own all the code and the data

    Full source code under a perpetual license, running on your infrastructure. Not API access to someone else's platform — the stack itself is yours.

  • Model-agnostic

    Run any LLM — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Command, or your own fine-tune — and switch providers without rewriting the platform.

  • No per-seat pricing

    Usage-based billing against a budget cap you set. Cost tracks what your organization actually uses, not how many people you employ.

  • Deploy anywhere

    Your cloud, your VPC, on-premise, GovCloud, or a fully air-gapped network with no outbound connectivity.

1.6M+ users across 400+ organizations run the platform this way, including NVIDIA, MIT, and Syracuse University.

ibl.ai is family-owned and operated from New York, NY — a U.S.-headquartered, domestically-owned long-term partner, not a vendor that sells licenses and moves on.

Pilots, deployment, and full ownership

Most enterprise engagements are one-time, not subscriptions. You integrate ibl.ai with your own data, deploy it on your own infrastructure, and the engineering hours scale with the work — so the price tracks the scope, not your headcount.

Start here

Pilot

from $15K

fixed scope · fixed timeline

A time-boxed proof of value on your real data — not a slide deck.

Best for: Teams that want to see ibl.ai working before committing.

  • Deployed on your infrastructure or our cloud
  • 1–2 production agents wired to a slice of your data
  • One integration (LMS / SIS / SSO / data source)
  • Weekly working sessions with our engineers
  • Pilot fee credits toward a full engagement

Most common

Integration & Deployment

$25K – $80K

one-time · not a subscription

Full deployment integrated with your data and systems. Engineering hours scale with scope.

Best for: Organizations rolling ibl.ai out across a department, campus, or business unit.

  • Platform deployed in your VPC, on-prem, or air-gapped
  • Integrated with your data + identity (SSO / SAML)
  • Multiple custom agents built to your workflows
  • Engineering hours proportional to scope
  • You own the data · run any LLM you choose
