The shift to AI software
Every software category is being rewritten around AI at once: a help desk now competes with an agent that answers the ticket itself, and a buyer comparing two products is often comparing two generations of product. 37% of the 2256 listings on this site describe AI features. We rank AI products where they compete, next to the conventional products they are trying to replace, and in 13 categories of their own. The same five tests apply to an AI product as to any other.
