Let's be honest: Enterprise AI has a trust problem. Vendors overpromise. Buyers overthink. Pilots die in silence. And everyone's too polite - or too scared - to say what actually went wrong.
AI to Go is the Enterprise AI podcast that breaks the silence. Every episode is an honest, no-BS conversation between the people building AI and the people buying it inside large organizations - about what actually works, what quietly fails, and why most AI pilots never make it to production.
I'm Johannes Deubener, an AI Implementation Lead at Deutsche Telekom based out of San Francisco. As a former marketplace founder who spent years helping sellers find buyers, I've been on both sides of the table. Now I'm the person inside the enterprise evaluating which AI vendors to pilot and put into production.
That dual perspective shapes every conversation on this show.
Each week, I sit down with AI startup founders, enterprise leaders, investors, and AI ecosystem experts for real talk about:
→ Why most enterprise AI pilots fail - and the few things that make the difference between production and purgatory
→ How enterprise buying decisions actually get made (spoiler: it's not how vendors think)
→ How to navigate complex stakeholder setups across the enterprise
→ The fears and frustrations that both sides need to say out loud
→ How AI vendors can design pitches, demos, and pilots that actually survive contact with a real enterprise
AI founders and enterprise leaders are both short on time and drowning in hype. AI to Go exists because your scarcest resources - time, attention, and focus - deserve better than the FOMO-fueled AI podcasts telling you the sky is falling or rising every week.
The mission is simple: create mutual understanding between enterprise AI buyers and sellers so we can stop wasting each other's time and start building AI deployments that actually work for both sides.
