AI For Good
Adoption At A
Tipping Point
Volume 3
THE TIPPING POINT IS HERE
The tipping point is here. Now make it count.
This is our third annual pulse check on AI use in the purpose-led world. Adoption is now the default.
Most teams are using AI in day-to-day work and more report real improvements. The question is not if, it is how we make it useful, safe, and measurable.
At 3 Sided Cube, we are an AI-first product agency for good. We ship features that work in the wild, and we build responsibility into how we design, test and launch.
The pattern is simple. Start small. Prove it. Scale what works. Measure value in human terms. Keep people in the loop.
Thank you to everyone who shared their wins, worries and roadblocks. Use this report to pick one workflow, run a small test and share what changed. Then do it again.

BEYOND THE TIPPING POINT
With 89% somewhere on the curve and 17% fully integrated, the question isn’t if you use AI - it’s whether it’s making a measurable difference for people.
This year’s data says the promise is real (77% seeing improvements), but two gaps decide whether that promise sticks: guardrails and genuine engagement.
