In case you missed it, @G2dotcom dropped our Summer 2026 Reports! One thing stood out to me immediately. @OpenAI debuted on our Top Companies by G2 Score list this season. That means buyers are now ranking the company that powers the tools they are using every day. A strong signal of how fast SaaS is moving and being reshaped by AI. A few other trends worth noting: 🤖 AI is dominating category growth: The top 3 fastest-growing categories this quarter are all AI: Agentic AI, AI Agents, and Answer Engine Optimization. The agent economy shows no sign of slowing down. 📈 @Adobe had a breakout quarter, posting the biggest single-quarter jump on the most reports list and debuting on the most #1 rankings list with 335. 🆕 Services gets its own spotlight for the first time with dedicated recognition for the agencies and service providers helping businesses get the most out of their software. Reaching your PEAK takes more than just the right tools, and now that momentum is clearly shown in our quarterly reports. Only 2% earned a Leader badge this quarter. Congrats to @Microsoft @SharePoint, @canva, and @Salesforce on staying at the top. Our VP of Marketing digs into every winner and trend worth knowing in the full blog. ⤵️ company.g2.com/news/g2-summe…

Stephen A Smith responds to Donald Trump calling him a low IQ individual on First Take: “You wanna talk about IQ, I could say I could put my IQ against yours, I got something even better I could ask you why you been running from me for the past year since I asked you to talk to me, I could ask you to debate me since you think you’re that dude. We could go a myriad of ways”
Reporter: Stephen A. Smith said he would blame you if the Knicks lost tonight how do you respond Donald Trump: I think he's a nice guy but you need a certain aptitude to run for president. You need a high IQ, I don't really think Stephen A Smith has that LLLMMFFAAOOOOOOOO

Honored to be featured in @Forbes for my journey of becoming a first-time Ironman at 54 as I train for the Boulder Ironman on June 13th. Humbling, uncomfortable, but worth every early morning. Swimming has been the hardest part. Every lap, I'm fighting the urge to quit. My brain runs through every rational excuse in the book: I don’t have enough time, my sleep wasn't great, or I should be focused on @G2dotcom. The excuses are always there, but I choose not to let them win. What I've found through this process is that the most important investment a leader can make is in themselves. The discomfort is the point. After the workout, I have so much more energy and mental clarity to show up better for my team. PEAK performance isn't just about what happens in the boardroom. Sometimes it starts in a pool at 6am, when every instinct tells you to stop. That’s where real growth happens. Check out the full article here: forbes.com/sites/julianhayes…

The Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) category on @G2dotcom is trending! 🔥 📈 Page views to this G2 category page increased 62% over a 90-day window ending in March. 📈 A year ago, after the category launched on G2, there were just a handful of products featured. Today, there are over 300 (over 4,000% growth)! Clearly, #AEO solutions are in demand as GTM teams shift their strategies to keep pace with the age of AI-first search. Our latest research found that 51% of software buyers now start their research with AI chatbots instead of Google. And, AI chatbots are the top source influencing which vendors make buyer shortlists! Companies used to ask: How do we rank on page one in Google? Now, to adapt to this shift, it’s: When a buyer asks an AI engine what tool they should use, does our product get recommended in the answer? Our latest ‘Market Movers’ spotlight identifies the top 3 products in the AEO category based on a set of criteria which identifies the emerging and trending solutions. (Methodology = products with the greatest YoY growth for reviews, G2 Profile views, and unique buyer intent visits from companies with less than 2.5k employees).

New @G2dotcom research: buyers starting software research with AI chatbots jumped from 29% → 51% in just one year. 📈 AI is now the number one source influencing vendor shortlists — and 69% of buyers switched vendors based on chatbot guidance. But as AI's influence grows, so does the need for trust. When buyers question a chatbot's answer, review site citations, especially ones from G2, are the number signal they turn to. AI is reshaping how software gets bought. Trust is still what closes the deal. Check out the full report below. learn.g2.com/g2-2026-ai-sear…

Enterprises see the ROI on AI agents — so why are so many still holding back? It comes down to trust. I joined Mark Organ at the @hardskillx Agentic AI Summit to dig into the AI trust gap — from legitimate enterprise fears around compliance and IP leakage, to what verified data and transparent benchmarks can do to close it. Agentic AI is a paradigm shift, not a SaaS evolution, and the companies that build the credibility layer now will define what B2B commerce looks like in 2030. Trusted data, third-party proof, transparent benchmarks — that's what @G2dotcom is built to provide.

Regardless of what happens in Europe and the U.S., the world is moving to EVs. There is nothing that western automakers can do to reverse this trend, and geopolitical risk in oil will only accelerate it. Either get good at EVs, or wither away.
Emerging Asia is sprinting toward electric independence to crush fossil fuel fragility. Fossil fuel wars will only accelerate this trend ➡️Viet Nam: 38% EV sales share, ahead of EU ➡️Singapore: Leading the charge at 50% share ➡️Indonesia: 15% share, more than US ➡️Thailand: 21% share, leaving Japan (at 3%) in the rearview mirror ➡️India: Three-wheelers at 57% share, EVs rising rapidly and at 4%, already ahead of Japan ➡️China: Already banking $28b/year in avoided oil imports The era of being held hostage by oil chokepoints is coming to an end in multiple Asian countries, fast ember-energy.org/latest-insi…

Some have asked me to comment on the SCOTUS ruling striking down tariffs based on emergencies declared by the Executive. Why should I comment when Gorsuch has already nailed it right here? 💯

It’s important that you understand what happened last night. Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue. In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired. CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.” In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump. But censorship always backfires. Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie: “Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these kinds of people in NYC…that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."
