The Zip Enterprise AI Index measures how large enterprises buy AI. It is built from approved purchase requests on the Zip platform and published monthly, with 1 to 5 stats per edition.
Most research on business AI adoption asks companies whether they use AI. The Index measures what companies approved to buy.
AI vendors and products are identified as those for which AI is central to their primary product offering or business model. Additionally, purchase-request descriptions and line items that identify AI products purchased through cloud providers and resellers count as AI spend.
Purchases are classified using buyer-entered categories on Zip purchase requests, supplemented by vendor-name matching.
