For B2B SaaS teams losing deals they should be winning

Your next buyer
probably isn't a human.

AI agents are already researching vendors, comparing APIs, and recommending tools — before any human gets involved. They don't care about your marketing. They care about your product. If they can't find you, evaluate you, and compare you — you lose before you ever had a shot.

Agents are taking over B2B buying — stage by stage.

Discovery, Comparison, Purchase. Each stage of the B2B buying journey is being taken over by AI. Are you ready?

Discovery

AI search is the new top of funnel.

Buyers ask ChatGPT and Perplexity "what's the best tool for X?" instead of Googling. The shortlist forms before a human sales rep is ever contacted — and 6sense data shows the pre-contact favorite wins about 80% of the time. If LLMs don't mention you, you never had a shot.

Personal agents are scoring and comparing you — invisibly.

Founders and ops leads are pointing AI agents at your docs, your pricing page, your competitor's API. These agents compare, score, and shortlist — without ever visiting your website through a browser. This "dark consideration" is invisible to your analytics. If your information isn't machine-readable, agents skip you.

Autonomous buyer agents will handle the full purchase.

Coinbase (x402), Visa, Google (A2A), and OpenAI (Agent Commerce Protocol) are building the rails for agents that hold budgets and execute transactions. These agents will demand sandbox environments, testable APIs, and machine-readable contracts — not pitch decks and sales calls.

This is already hurting your pipeline. You just can't see it.

Open your analytics. More than half of your traffic is bots — AI crawlers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Perplexity, scanning your site to answer questions about your category.

But the real problem is the traffic you don't see. A founder asks ChatGPT "what's the best API monitoring tool?" — it reads your docs, your competitor's docs, and returns an answer. No visit. No click. No form fill. A completely dark consideration journey.

And here's the revenue impact: 6sense found that 95% of winning vendors were already on the buyer's shortlist from Day One — before any sales contact happened. If AI is shaping that shortlist — and it increasingly is — then every deal where you're invisible to AI is a deal you've already lost.

If AI agents are buying, you're selling to AI — not humans.

Your website, docs, and sales process were built for human visitors. AI agents need something completely different. Here's what that means in practice.

Before

Pricing behind "Book a Demo"

Works for human enterprise sales.

After

Machine-readable structured pricing

Agents compare you instantly. No pricing = eliminated from consideration.

Before

Brand copy and marketing narrative

Emotionally persuades human visitors.

After

Structured claims with verifiable evidence

Agents want facts, benchmarks, and testable endpoints — not vibes.

Before

PDF case studies and slide decks

Not parseable by AI models.

After

llms.txt, schema.org, machine-readable docs

Content in formats agents can actually index and compare.

Before

Human sales demo over screen share

Requires scheduling, availability, human time.

After

Sandbox API and self-serve evaluation

Buyer agents demand "show, not tell" — testable proof, not a pitch.
