The AI Agent Discoverability Gap: What B2B SaaS Brands Are Missing

The AI Agent Discoverability Gap: What B2B SaaS Brands Are Missing

AI, Application Development, DevOps, Enterprise IT Strategy /

SurfaceGX’s inaugural Agent Readiness Gap benchmark reveals that leading B2B SaaS brands have strong AI search foundations but zero primary-domain agent discoverability. None of the 26 brands studied have published machine-readable agent contracts at their primary domain, despite several already operating MCP servers. ECI Research analyzes what this means for enterprise buyers, developers, and competitive positioning.
