I used to work for an AI software company. It ended up not doing that well in the market. The issue was that we made a really great tool for solving an impossible problem. You could get a lot farther with KEE than without it, but the problem remained insolvable in the end. Didn’t matter what problem it was – if KEE was your best choice, you weren’t going to solve it.

This article from Philip Greenspun’s site uses slightly more flowery language to say the same thing.
