PM AI Sales Products
(2026 Edition)
Call intelligence platforms like Gong already reshaped sales coaching, while autonomous SDR tools remain earlier-stage — capable of high outbound volume but not yet matching human quality on complex, multi-touch deals. That split mirrors customer support's AI curve: routine work automates first, and product teams are judged on forecast accuracy, seat adoption, and churn once the initial excitement fades.
