A Company OS is a git repository of markdown context, skills, and guardrails that AI agents read at the start of every working session. The Company OS pattern spread through GTM faster than any other function: between April and August 2026, more than 10 practitioners publicly documented moving their entire operating context, SOPs, ICP definitions, […]

AI-native services companies sell the finished work, not the software that produces it. The AI-native services category hardened in 2026: Y Combinator added AI-native service companies to its Summer 2026 Requests for Startups, Sequoia published its Services: The New Software thesis, and Forbes profiled agencies selling outcomes into labor budgets an order of magnitude larger […]

A GTM brain is the governed context and memory layer that a revenue team shares with its AI agents: one source of truth for what you sell, who you serve, what proof backs each claim, and what has already happened with every account. The term GTM brain is new, and the race to define it […]

Marketing to agents is the practice of making your company legible, verifiable, and selectable by the AI agents that now participate in B2B buying decisions. The phrase inverts what most of the market means by it: this is not about agents doing your marketing, it is about agents being your audience. Gartner projects that 90% […]

Uncaptured intent is the buying interest that existed at your target accounts but never registered in any system you own.

SEO rank is losing its grip on B2B buyer discovery. Gartner projects roughly 25% of organic search traffic is shifting to AI chatbots, and AI-driven referral traffic to US retail sites surged 4,700% year over year. Enterprise buyers ask ChatGPT to compare vendors. Growth teams query Perplexity to build shortlists. Copilot answers vendor questions inside […]

Measuring AI Share of Voice (AI SOV) is not complicated, but it requires a structured approach. Unlike keyword rank tracking — where you plug a keyword into a tool and get a rank — AI SOV measurement requires you to design a prompt library, run it across multiple platforms, count mentions, and compute share. The […]

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot now generate over 40% of product-discovery interactions for B2B buyers, according to Gartner’s 2025 Digital Buying Behavior survey. Enterprise decision-makers ask Copilot to recommend data vendors. Growth teams ask Perplexity which enrichment APIs integrate with their CRM. These interactions happen outside your website, outside your paid media, and outside your […]
