How is the business AI market evolving?

A panel of 125 AI products from 121 companies, observed through 4,642 immutable page snapshots (archived captures back to 2022 plus live collection). Every price, feature claim and model-provider link on this site is tied to a quoted evidence window, a parser version and a confidence score. Nothing here is reconstructed from today's page and passed off as history.

Feature-set similarity over time

Mean pairwise Jaccard similarity of diffusion-tracked features among products observed in each quarter, with a product-level bootstrap 95% interval.

Quarterly samples grow from 45 products in 2022Q1 to 115 in 2026Q3 because archived coverage is uneven; the balanced-panel version on the research page holds composition fixed.
