AI agents struggle to find B2B pricing, report finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent report from Siteline tested an AI agent, specifically a simulated Claude agent, on its ability to find pricing information for 100 top B2B software products. The study revealed significant challenges, with the agent encountering access errors and hidden pricing details.
