👋 Hi, I'm Adam.

🚦 PeerSignal + GPT

Published about 1 year ago • 2 min read

Thank you for being one of the first 14,826 members and supporting PeerSignal research! Welcome back to my almost-weekly newsletter where I share data and examples to help you study B2B sales and marketing.


Camille and I have added a new analyst to the team, ChatGPT. :)

We believe that Generative AI represents a new era in software.

For the past three months we’ve been experimenting and studying OpenAI and other platforms. Today, we’re excited to start releasing Generative AI market resources and infusing our product with GPT-assisted data.

Here’s how PeerSignal is supporting the movement:

1. Mapping AI and Generative AI Categories

Our first AI Market Index is now live in beta! This includes 347 companies with AI-first products, 77 of which we consider participants in the Generative AI sub-category.

This isn’t just a slide with logos. Like all of our indexes, this is continuously refreshed and enriched using Keyplay. You can sort, filter, and explore our whole slate of company signals.

As always, we’ll expand this coverage with your help. Add a company here.

2. Tracking Generative AI’s Impact on SaaS

We believe that Generative AI will infiltrate many SaaS companies and transform every software market.

Elena Verna called it the ChatGPT gold rush.

We want to track how SaaS and Cloud companies react.

To do this, we’re analyzing our existing B2B SaaS market index (2K companies) and our broader Keyplay SaaS database (20K+ companies) to find AI-centric messaging and product offerings.

For every Jasper and Boost.ai company building their product around AI, there are companies like Zapier and Notion, quick to integrate AI into their current product offering. Some recent examples:

  • Miro recently announced Miro AI (Beta). Currently, its machine learning models can summarize sticky notes, expand mind maps, remove backgrounds on images, even generate some code.
  • Klaviyo integrates AI into its marketing automation platform in two ways: predictive analytics for estimating revenue and best send times, and an AI-powered SMS writing assistant.
  • Clari has positioned itself as an AI platform for years now. Its AI-powered revenue forecasting engine estimates future revenue and recommends improvements.
  • Zapier’s ChatGPT plugin turns chat into automations by allowing users to execute any of Zapier’s 50K actions using the ChatGPT interface.
  • Notion AI allows users to tap into generative AI to summarize calls into checklists or tables and rewrite paragraphs in different tones.

3. Deeper Insights with GPT-Assisted Data

We’re showing off our first GPT-assisted data in this AI Market map. Using AI to understand AI companies is so 2023! 🤣

AI and Generative AI Relevance scores and reasonings are built with a combination of Keyplay data, GPT APIs, and PeerSignal frameworks.

This is just the beginning. We will be bringing GPT-assisted signals to the Keyplay data pipeline very soon. If you want to be on the ground floor, reply to me here or request a demo.

Soon, AI will be central to our product and research strategy. This will help us capture market movements in real time and improve classifications accuracy (we all know how limiting NAICS codes and LinkedIn industries are).

By the end of this year, we hope to be a leader in this market map.

How do you think AI will disrupt tech in the next five years? Reply with your predictions or join the conversation on LinkedIn.

I read all replies.

Best,

Adam & Camille

Before diving into today's analysis, could you quickly hit reply with “got it” so I can confirm deliverability? I made some DNS tweaks and want to make sure big tech still puts us in the inbox. 🤞🙏🤞 G2 published their Spring 2024 grid reports last week. I was excited to see Keyplay land as a High Performer in our first grid with 4.8/5 stars, amongst the highest satisfaction in our category. This got me wanting better understand the top companies on G2 -- who they are, how they go-to-market,...

Did you hear that LinkedIn Sales Insights (LSI) is shutting down this year?! 😢 If you are an LSI customer, we've got something to fill the void at Keyplay. Talk to me about a free POC and then you can be the judge. 🧑⚖️✨ Last time I shared RevOps org benchmarks. We found that B2B Software companies have 1 RevOps headcount for every 12 sales reps and showed how that varies by size/stage. Today we looked at RevOps hiring data... Not surprisingly, RevOps is way down the list of GTM roles when it...

Today I analyzed 2,500 B2B software companies to better understand Rev Ops teams sizes, sales ratios, and how things change by stage. You can flip a summary deck and/or comment on LinkedIn here. Let's go through the analysis and some take aways... Small Teams, High Leverage Rev Ops is a small, but important part of the modern GTM org. Rev Ops headcount is less than 1% of total B2B Software company headcount in our sample. In aggregate we see a 12:1 overall ratio of Sales Reps (AE+SDR) to Rev...
