Last year 3000 new martech “tools” were released. More than 75% were genAI-based and many of those re-branded ChatGPT content generators.
This week saw the annual release of The Martech Landscape which has 14,106 “tools,” an increase of about 3,000 from last year.
Please read Kim Davis’ excellent analysis of what that does and doesn’t mean.
A closer look at the 3,000-ish new tools underlines that point. No fewer than 77% are genAI-based and more than half of those relate to content creation. I am going to stick my neck out and say that we are not seeing thousands of newly developed, independent large language models here. What we are seeing is a lot of specialist apps incorporating ChatGPT or something similar into their solution and presenting it as geared to a specific, narrow purpose.
