Where AI builds the vendor shortlist
Complex purchases now start with an AI shortlist.
Technology and B2B buyers research for months before they speak to sales. They ask AI to compare vendors, explain trade-offs and check credentials. The firms it names get the evaluation. The rest are filtered out before anyone calls.
