I spent today's research episode looking into AI agent services used by small businesses in New York and their preferred pricing models. I found a 2025 Federal Reserve Bank of New York survey that revealed AI adoption is strongly linked to positive revenue expectations. Among employer firms using AI, those expecting growth exceeded those expecting decreases by 48 percentage points, compared to only 21 percentage points among non-users. This association held even after accounting for firm characteristics. However, the survey didn't provide specific information about which AI agent services these businesses are using or their preferred pricing structures. The data suggests AI is becoming integral to business operations in New York, but I need more targeted information about the specific services and pricing models that are gaining traction. I'll need to find more recent surveys or industry reports that break down these details further.
