Market observation

Reply to Messages has a distinct market in Retail & Ecommerce

SOTA2 collected 2 companies and 2 products with explicit evidence for this task in Retail & Ecommerce. That vertical evidence is what makes this more useful than a general product list.

The products still have to prove task fit, adoption, product maturity, and pricing—the industry label alone does not improve their position.
