Changelog: What's New in This Guide

Comprehensive re-verification of all 15 vertical pages and 6 cross-vertical pages against primary sources. Vendor acquisitions and rebrands that had post-dated or been missed by the April build were corrected: Evisort is now Workday Contract Intelligence; Forethought is now part of Zendesk (acquisition completed March 2026); Cognigy is now NiCE Cognigy; Moveworks is now a ServiceNow company; Aisera was acquired by Automation Anywhere; Windsurf (formerly Codeium) was rebranded Devin Desktop by Cognition; Coda AI is now Superhuman Docs; Klarity rebranded to Within; Microsoft Copilot for Finance is now Finance in Microsoft 365 Copilot (standalone SKU retired October 2025); Recorded Future is noted as a Mastercard company; Clari and Salesloft have merged; Fin (formerly Intercom) is being acquired by Salesforce. Google Sec-Gemini was corrected from a Security Command Center product to an experimental research model. Glean's round was corrected from 'Series E, $200M+' to a $150M Series F at a $7.2B valuation (2025). Notion AI pricing corrected: the $10/user/month add-on was retired in 2025 and full AI is now in the $20/user/month Business plan. GPT-4o (retired from ChatGPT in 2026) was replaced with GPT-5 as the horizontal-AI exemplar. The healthcare ambient-scribe time saving was corrected from a vendor-marketed '2-3 hours per physician per day' to the controlled JAMA study figure (roughly 16 minutes of documentation time per eight patient-hours; JAMA, April 2026). The McKinsey '<5% of occupations / 30% of activities' automation figures were re-attributed to McKinsey's automation research (A Future That Works; Jobs Lost, Jobs Gained) rather than the 2025 State of AI report. Roughly twenty stale or broken source and vendor URLs were updated to current pages.

Three verified corrections across the Operations, Engineering, and FAQ pages. Celonis ARR corrected: the prior '$300M ARR in 2024' figure was a roughly 2021-era number; Celonis does not publish official ARR, and third-party estimates put FY2023 ARR at approximately $771M (up from $555M in 2022), so the claim is now stated with that vintage and caveat. SWE-Bench Verified scores refreshed: the prior '50-60%' band is stale; frontier models now exceed 85% (Claude Opus 4.8 at 88.6% as of June 2026), well-engineered agentic scaffolds clear 70%, and standalone autonomous agents like Devin 2.0 sit lower (~46% unassisted). The 'vertical AI outperforms horizontal by 20-40% per Lindy's analysis' FAQ claim was removed: no such Lindy analysis exists, and the figure contradicted the guide's own caveat that published accuracy multiples are vendor-sourced and vary widely; it is now stated qualitatively, matching the Horizontal vs Vertical page. Harvey ($200M / $11B, March 2026, GIC and Sequoia), GitHub Copilot (4.7M paid subscribers, Q2 FY2026), and Decagon (~$400K median ACV) were re-verified and left unchanged.

Provenance review of the two highest-traffic cross-vertical pages. The vertical-vs-horizontal AI ROI figure (previously stated as approximately 500% vs 171%, attributed to Lyzr) was removed: Lyzr's State of AI Agents in Enterprise (Q1 2026) carries no such comparison (only an 'up to 50% efficiency gains' estimate), and no primary source for the 500%/171% multiples could be located. The claim is now stated qualitatively with an explicit caveat that published ROI multiples are vendor-sourced and vary widely. The Salesmotion AI SDR figure was re-sourced to its actual page (AI SDR Tools Compared, February 2026, aggregating SuperAGI and Broadn.io) and the '2%' figure corrected: it is the share of full AI SDR deployments that stick long-term (50-70% churn within a year), not a 'pure autonomous success' rate. Stale citation URL fixed (salesmotion.com to salesmotion.io).

Five verified corrections. Harvey's March 2026 raise relabelled: $200M growth round at an $11B valuation co-led by GIC and Sequoia (previously mislabelled Series D; the Series D was $300M in February 2025). GitHub Copilot updated to 4.7M paid subscribers (Microsoft Q2 FY2026 earnings, January 2026) and pricing corrected: $10/month Pro for individuals, $19/user/month Business. HubSpot Breeze launch date corrected to September 2024 (INBOUND), with outcome-based agent pricing noted from April 2026. Nuance DAX renamed Microsoft Dragon Copilot (March 2025 rebrand). Codeium entry retired: the product is now Windsurf, acquired by Cognition in 2025.
