As AI agents increasingly handle product discovery and purchasing on behalf of consumers, a new category of startup is emerging to help US brands optimise their visibility to these non-human buyers — shifting marketing strategy from emotional appeal to structured data and logic.
Fisher & Paykel's chief digital officer Rudi Khoury says customers are already using GPT-style tools as research interfaces, pushing the appliance company to treat AI as a marketing and discovery problem, not just a customer-service efficiency tool. The company's Agentforce-based service agent and broader roadmap reflect a view that discovery, service and conversion are converging inside conversational AI environments.
At Ibexa's Orchestration Day in Paris on 17 June 2026, CEO Bertrand Maugain argued that generative AI has worsened martech stack fragmentation rather than resolving it, and that enterprises need integrated orchestration platforms and human "super-orchestrators" to govern AI-driven campaigns and maintain consumer trust.

OpenAI introduced Dots at DevDay on September 29, 2026, bringing persistent AI agents to ChatGPT that can carry context across marketing tasks — from research to content drafting — without requiring a new prompt each time conditions change. The launch initially targets ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise users, with one Dot per user. No independent performance data has yet been published.
OpenAI introduced Dots on September 29, 2026 — persistent AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra that can maintain context, operate across more than 4,000 connected apps, and continue working toward goals without waiting for a new user prompt. The rollout begins across Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise plans, with implications for marketing operations, content workflows, and enterprise governance.
CMSWire argues that AI-driven content generation has expanded the pool of potential brand creators to "effectively unlimited" scale, forcing organizations to shift governance from reviewing finished outputs to controlling the data, rules, and sources that AI systems draw from — a model it calls "AI-native governance."
Multiple industry surveys show a widening gap between the mandate handed to customer experience leaders to deploy AI and the decision-making authority they actually hold, with Gartner, Grant Thornton and Deloitte data pointing to fragmented ownership, weak governance readiness and customer outcomes left undefended.
