    The map covers 1,689 AI products across 13 categories, from model providers and AI coding tools to AI features inside established software. It is updated monthly as new AI tools reach business buyers.

    What counts as an AI-native product?

    AI-native products are built primarily around AI models (e.g. Anthropic/Claude); AI-embedded products add AI to an existing platform (e.g. GitHub). Every product on the map is labelled with its classification.
