AI agents have emerged as a key pattern to package AI functionality. 2025 is being called the year of agentic AI! How will all these agents deliver value? How will they be packaged and priced? How will billing work? Subscription building leader Maxio and customer value management leader Ibbaka are partnering to answer these questions.

Ibbaka is leveraging its value model generation AI to generate a series of Category Value Reports. These reports combine value models and generative AI to get new insights into the structure of B2B software markets. Our first report is on Learning Solutions. In this report we generated value models for six category leaders and then combined them to get a feel for what drives value in the category.

Category Value Maps are a new tool for understanding a software category. They help buyers decide which vendor is the best fit for their needs and vendors to get an external view of their positioning from the perspective of a generative AI process. They are made possible by the recent development of generated value models, economic value models created and maintained with generative AI. Ibbaka has generated the Category Value Map for Learning Solutions as its first demonstration of this powerful new tool.
