Ibbaka has put together a stellar line up for its October webinars.

October 1, Wednesday, joint pricing industry leaders Augustin Manchon, Mark Stiving and Marcos Rivera for a wild conversation on how AI is transforming pricing roles.

October 16, Thursday, Brandon Hickie from LinkedIn and Companyon Ventures and Steven Forth will go deep into the credit based pricing model that is dominating AI and agent applications.

AI is already transforming pricing work and how it is carried out. A recent LinkedIn poll with more than 100 responses found that 80% of people expect AI to transform pricing roles. How will the roles transform? How will this transformation roll out? Here are some initial thoughts. Steven Forth, Marcos Rivera and Mark Stiving will discuss in a webinar on October 1, 2025.

Edward Wong leads Ibbaka’s research and community work. He is constantly using AI to explore ideas, test value and pricing models, develop databases of synthetic users and synthetic data and to document Ibbaka’s processes (Ibbaka documents its processes as context documents and prompt sequences. Here he explores his first two years of working with AI.

Professionals have a growing realization of the power of agents to take their work to the next level and are looking for ways to leverage AI. Pricing is a focal point for this as it has always been tool and data heavy and has long leveraged AI in different parts of the value chain. Pricing experts are looking for agents that complement them and that are specialized for specific customers or pricing challenges rather than generalist AIs.

AI agents are emerging as a standard way to deliver AI functionality, especially in B2B. This has been underlined by Salesforce’s recent Agentforce announcements. Agent pricing is evolving from inputs and number of agents to actions and outcomes. This evolution is framing how we think about pricing generativeAI.

Adobe is investing heavily in generative AI and has begun to signal how it will approach pricing. It is taking an incremental approach. Price remain anchored in a per seat price, but plans are becoming more flexible, and more expensive!

Conventional approaches to pricing are not fit for purpose when it comes to pricing generative AI applications for B2B. A new process is needed. Ibbaka is proposing generative pricing, a mashup (or concept blend) of dynamic pricing and value based pricing.

Salesforce has announced that it will use consumption pricing for its AI agents going forward. Why is Salesforce taking this approach? What are the implications for other Vertical AI companies? Results of our LinkedIn poll.

OpenAI's o1 models are getting a lot of attention. They are a phase change for how we work with generativeAI. OpenAI has also shared how it will approach pricing of this first version of reasoning models. Reasoning tokens. What are the implications for generative AI pricing generally?

OpenAI has released o1, it next generation approach to generative AI reasoning and problem solving. If you were OpenAI, how would you price this innovation? We summarize the results of a flash poll, give some analysis and provide our own recommendation.

Most companies monetizing generative AI are using hybrid pricing models where they combine more than one pricing metric. You can see that in the survey we are running to prepare for the Sept. 19 roundtable on monetizing generative AI. What metrics tend to be used together? We ran the data through a Leiden algorithm to find the clusters.

Here are some early insights from the survey we are using to inform our Sept. 19 roundtable on generative AI monetization. Michael Mansard, Kyle Poyar and Steven Forth will go deep into the trends in generative AI and how it us being monetized.

Join our Sept. 19 roundtable on generative AI monetization. Kyle Poyar from OpenView and Growth Unhinged, Michael Mansard from Zuora and Steven Forth will have an open conversation on how second generation applications are getting priced and monetized. Take this three minute survey and prime your questions for this important session.

How to monetize investment in generative AI is a critical question for B2B SaaS. Join Kyle Poyar from Growth Unhinged and Openview, Michael Mansard from Zuora and Ibbaka’s Steven Forth for this webinar which will define how companies can move forward and monetize generative AI applications.

Generative pricing emerged as a response to the pricing requirements of second generation generative AI applications, but the five steps at the heart of the approach are generally applicable. They provide a foundation for a new approach to price optimization, one based on the value being delivered.

Generative pricing will come to dominate B2B SaaS pricing over the next decade, but most companies will begin by taking small steps to get there. The five steps are to (i) build a value model, (ii) use feature flags, (iii) map features to value, (iv) design a pricing model based on the feature-value mapping, (v) have pricing define configuration (or vice versa).

How should generative AI applications be priced? We asked our community in a flash poll, here are the results and our point of view on the emerging best practices for monetization and pricing of generative AI applications.
