AI agents are emerging as a standard way to deliver AI functionality, especially in B2B. This has been underlined by Salesforce’s recent Agentforce announcements. Agent pricing is evolving from inputs and number of agents to actions and outcomes. This evolution is framing how we think about pricing generativeAI.

Adobe is investing heavily in generative AI and has begun to signal how it will approach pricing. It is taking an incremental approach. Price remain anchored in a per seat price, but plans are becoming more flexible, and more expensive!

Conventional approaches to pricing are not fit for purpose when it comes to pricing generative AI applications for B2B. A new process is needed. Ibbaka is proposing generative pricing, a mashup (or concept blend) of dynamic pricing and value based pricing.

Salesforce has announced that it will use consumption pricing for its AI agents going forward. Why is Salesforce taking this approach? What are the implications for other Vertical AI companies? Results of our LinkedIn poll.

OpenAI's o1 models are getting a lot of attention. They are a phase change for how we work with generativeAI. OpenAI has also shared how it will approach pricing of this first version of reasoning models. Reasoning tokens. What are the implications for generative AI pricing generally?

OpenAI has released o1, it next generation approach to generative AI reasoning and problem solving. If you were OpenAI, how would you price this innovation? We summarize the results of a flash poll, give some analysis and provide our own recommendation.

Most companies monetizing generative AI are using hybrid pricing models where they combine more than one pricing metric. You can see that in the survey we are running to prepare for the Sept. 19 roundtable on monetizing generative AI. What metrics tend to be used together? We ran the data through a Leiden algorithm to find the clusters.

Here are some early insights from the survey we are using to inform our Sept. 19 roundtable on generative AI monetization. Michael Mansard, Kyle Poyar and Steven Forth will go deep into the trends in generative AI and how it us being monetized.
