An existing software product that has added one or more features calling a language model, without changing its underlying architecture.

The weakest rung on a ladder that runs from AI-enabled through AI-powered to AI-native and AI-first, where each rung claims more and none of them is defined.

• Deliberately Low Bar: "Enabled" is the word chosen when the honest description is that a chat box was added last quarter.
• Ladder Without Rungs: No standard separates enabled from powered from native, so vendors self-select their step.
• House-Cleaning Reality Check: Like putting a smart plug on a forty-year-old lamp and calling the house an AI-enabled home.

Pimp My Ride (2000s) where a car returns with a television in the headrest and a fish tank in the boot, while the engine problem that brought it in is never mentioned again.

Existing software with a language model feature added on.

“Our AI-enabled platform brings intelligence to every stage of the workflow.”

“We added a summarize button to the existing dashboard that sends the record to a model API.”
