New Generation

Where New Gen may be most relevant: - Purpose-built messaging for agent or AI-referral scenarios rather than retrofitted site search - A parallel interface strategy (AI subdomain/add-on layer) that aims to limit disruption to the core storefront - A vendor metric (Agent Score) intended to provide a single measure of readiness for agent interactions; useful if methodology is documented and reliable Where competitors may be stronger: - Security and compliance maturity: established vendors often provide more publicly documented security artifacts and enterprise-grade controls - Proven deployments and independent reviews: larger vendors usually have more third-party reviews and analyst coverage - Defined packaging and partner ecosystems: some competitors provide clearer module definitions, pricing signals, and implementation partner networks Competitor-specific note: Constructor.io includes terms that grant rights to use customer content/visitor data for AI/ML training and product development (contract-dependent). Buyers should explicitly negotiate data-use terms across all vendors.
