AI & Agentic Software
The fastest-moving field in software: assistants, agents, voice AI, generative media and the building blocks behind them. What each kind of AI software does, who uses it and where it is heading.
AI assistants & chat
Assistants that answer questions, write and search, for customers and for your own team.
AI Chatbot Platform
Software for building chatbots that answer questions in natural language on a website, app or messaging channel, usually grounded in a business’s own content so the answers stay accurate.
Enterprise AI Assistant
A secure, company-wide AI chat assistant that employees use to write, summarize, analyze and search company knowledge, with admin controls over data, access and retention.
AI Copilot
An AI assistant built into a specific application, such as a CRM, spreadsheet or design tool, that suggests, drafts and automates work in context.
ChatGPT App
A tailored app or connector that runs inside ChatGPT, Claude or another AI assistant, so the people using those assistants can find and use a business’s services without leaving the chat.
AI Answer Engine
Search tools that answer questions directly with a written summary and cited sources instead of a list of links.
AI Knowledge Assistant
An assistant that answers employee questions from company documents, manuals, policies and tickets, with sources cited and permissions respected.
AI agents & automation
Software that does the work, not just talks about it: agents, automations and the standards that connect them.
AI Agent Platform
Software for creating AI agents that pursue a goal across several steps, using tools like email, calendars, databases and websites, with rules for when a person must approve.
AI Agent Framework
Developer libraries for building AI applications and agents: chaining model calls, managing memory, calling tools and coordinating several agents.
Computer-Use & Browser Agent
AI agents that operate a computer or web browser the way a person does, clicking, typing and reading screens to finish tasks in apps that have no API.
AI Workflow Automation
Tools that connect apps and run automated workflows, with AI steps that classify, summarize, extract or draft along the way.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Software “bots” that mimic the clicks and keystrokes a person makes in business applications, automating repetitive, rules-based work like data entry and report downloads.
MCP Server
A small service that exposes a business’s data and actions to AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol, the open standard for connecting AI models to tools.
Agentic Commerce
The tools and protocols that let AI agents browse, compare and buy on a shopper’s behalf, including agent-ready catalogs, checkout APIs and delegated payment tokens.
Multi-Agent System
An AI setup where several specialized agents, such as a researcher, a writer and a reviewer, work together on a task and check each other’s work.
Voice & conversational AI
AI that talks and listens: phone agents, receptionists, transcription and AI voices.
AI Voice Agent
An AI that holds natural phone conversations, answering questions, booking appointments, taking orders and routing calls with human-like speech and fast responses.
AI Receptionist
An AI front desk that answers every call and message, greets callers, answers common questions, books visits and takes messages, so no lead goes to voicemail.
Conversational IVR
A phone menu system that lets callers say what they need in their own words instead of pressing numbers, then routes or resolves the call.
Speech-to-Text (Transcription)
Software that turns spoken audio into written text, from meeting recordings and phone calls to video captions and dictation.
Text-to-Speech (AI Voices)
Software that reads text aloud in a natural voice for voice agents, narration, accessibility and video, sometimes using a cloned voice of a real person.
AI Meeting Assistant
An assistant that records meetings, transcribes them and produces summaries, decisions and action items, often syncing them to a CRM or project tool.
AI content & media generation
Software that writes, draws, films, narrates and presents.
AI Writing Assistant
Software that drafts, edits and rewrites text such as emails, blog posts, product descriptions and ads in a chosen voice.
AI Image Generator
Software that creates images from written descriptions or edits existing photos, used for marketing graphics, concepts and product scenes.
AI Video Generator
Software that generates or edits video from text, images or scripts, from short social clips to product demos.
AI Avatar & Digital Human
Software that creates a lifelike on-screen presenter from a script, used for training videos, product explainers, multilingual messages and interactive kiosks.
AI Music Generator
Software that composes music or sound from a text description, for background tracks, jingles and creative projects.
AI Presentation Maker
Software that turns an outline or document into a designed slide deck, report or one-page site.
AI Translation
Software that translates text, documents, websites and conversations between languages automatically, often with human review for important content.
AI building blocks
The models, databases and tooling developers use to build AI into products.
Large Language Model API
Cloud services that give software access to large language models for writing, reasoning, coding, vision and tool use, paid per use.
AI Coding Assistant
Software that writes, explains, tests and fixes code alongside developers, from autocomplete to agents that build whole features from a description.
Vector Database
A database that stores AI embeddings, numeric fingerprints of meaning, so software can find similar documents, products or images by meaning rather than exact keywords.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
An approach and set of tools that let an AI answer from a business’s own documents by retrieving the relevant passages first, so answers are accurate and cite their sources.
LLM Observability & Evaluation
Tools that record, test and score what an AI application does, tracking quality, cost, speed and failures so teams can improve it safely.
AI Gateway (LLM Router)
A layer between an application and AI providers that handles routing, caching, rate limits, fallbacks, logging and cost control across models.
AI Model Hosting & Inference
Services that run AI models, including open-weight models, on cloud GPUs or edge networks so applications can call them quickly and privately.
Local AI (On-Device LLM)
Software that runs AI models directly on a PC, server or phone, so data never leaves the device and there are no per-use fees.
AI Fine-Tuning Platform
Tools for training an existing AI model further on a business’s own examples so it follows a format, style or specialty more reliably.
Synthetic Data Generator
Software that creates realistic but artificial data for testing software, training AI or sharing data without exposing real people.
Data Labeling & Annotation
Tools and services for tagging images, text, audio and video so AI models can learn from them or be evaluated.
Intelligent Document Processing
Software that reads invoices, forms, contracts and other documents, extracts the data and sends it into business systems.
OCR Software
Software that converts scanned documents and photos of text into editable, searchable text.
Computer Vision Platform
Software that lets computers interpret images and video: counting, inspecting, reading labels, recognizing objects and spotting problems.
AI Site Search
Search that understands what visitors mean, not just the words they type, so a store or website returns the right products and answers.
Recommendation Engine
Software that suggests products, content or next actions to each person based on behavior and similarity, like “customers also bought.”
Predictive Analytics & Machine Learning
Software that learns from historical data to forecast sales, demand, churn, risk or failures, so businesses can act before problems happen.
AI safety, governance & fraud
Keeping AI accurate, compliant and out of the hands of scammers.
AI Guardrails & Safety
Software that checks what goes into and out of AI systems, blocking prompt injection, data leaks, unsafe content and off-topic answers.
AI Governance & Compliance
Software and practices for tracking which AI tools a business uses, what data they touch, how they are tested and who approved them, to meet company policy and the law.
Deepfake & Impersonation Detection
Tools that detect AI-generated or manipulated video, audio, images and documents used for scams, fake identities and impersonation.
