AI Agents
The AI Agents category reflects explosive enterprise adoption of autonomous workflow tools, with 96 consensus brands competing across customer service, integration platforms, and process automation. Leaders like Intercom, Make, and ServiceNow AI Agents achieve 54-57% shortlist rates with 4-model diversity, indicating broad evaluator agreement on core capabilities. The complete absence of prompt coverage (0%) reveals a market still defining evaluation criteria, while the 8:1 ratio of consensus to evaluation brands suggests widespread experimentation outpacing rigorous vetting.
