Market observation
Access Data & Knowledge products are built for AI agents
Agent-first web APIs lead on combined capability, adoption evidence and pricing disclosure. Grounded knowledge layers and agent-native storage also qualify. No industry preference was applied; company-level adoption signals are indirect, and missing details indicate uncertainty rather than poor quality.
SOTA2 collected 46 companies and 64 products with direct evidence that AI agents use the product to perform this task.
Compatibility alone is not sufficient: the audience must be a first-class user of the product.
