The State of AI Services, 2026.

The AI-implementation provider landscape, read from evidence rather than ad spend. Supply figures are direct counts from the Trustgent verified index (observed); the demand snapshot is self-reported by buyers through optional questionnaires (surveyed), published as aggregates only. No estimates, no extrapolation.

The index today

Live aggregates, computed on Sep 2026. These are the report's headline facts, the full version below adds the per-capability and per-region breakdowns.

4920

providers in the verified index

3247

cross-referenced (L2+) or higher

customer-rated (L3+) or higher

910

L2+ builders in Generative AI & RAG, the largest capability

countries with a verified builder

The honest headline: no provider has reached L3 (customer-rated) or above in this snapshot. The index is still accumulating customer and outcome attestations, we'd rather publish a zero than a number we can't stand behind.

What the report adds

The full L0-L5 verification-depth distribution, with the methodology behind each level.
Composition by capability, which classes of system the verified index actually builds.

What matters most when choosing a provider

Demand-side snapshot · surveyed

Who's asking, and what they're asking for.

The mirror image of the observed supply data above, and the one part of this report that is surveyed rather than counted: buyers told us about themselves over the last 30 days, either through the intake chat that assembles anonymous briefs or through the optional research questionnaire, answered under an explicit research-use notice. No email is published, no free text is shown; only coarse, PII-free buckets. Any bucket below 3responses is folded into “Other” so no single buyer can be inferred from the chart.
