We make AI and automation survey data that becomes your most valuable content and AEO asset.

Most B2B companies do not need another generic blog post. They need something only they can publish: new evidence about what their market thinks, prioritizes, and plans to do next. TrendCandy turns those unanswered questions into proprietary industry intelligence. For AI and automation companies, that means research about how enterprises are actually adopting AI, where trust gaps persist, and what the next wave of investment looks like.

AI and automation buyers face a landscape of hype, uncertainty, and competing claims. Decision-makers need real data — not vendor predictions — to justify investment. Proprietary research gives your market evidence about adoption rates, ROI expectations, and what separates leaders from laggards.

A well-designed AI and automation survey can reveal: how organizations are governing agentic AI and automated workflows; where enterprise buyers see the highest ROI and the biggest risk; how adoption differs by industry, company size, and maturity.

We plan potential headlines before fieldwork, then engineer the questionnaire for useful comparisons, defensible statistics, and commercially relevant stories. We survey the exact audience you need to influence.

A single survey can produce dozens of statistics and story angles. One flagship report becomes the anchor, while the same evidence powers PR, blog posts, LinkedIn content, webinars, events, paid campaigns, nurture, SEO, AEO, and sales conversations. For your AI and automation company, that can include: a state-of-adoption report; executive bylines on the future of AI in the enterprise; data-backed pitches to tier-one publications.

AI assistants increasingly answer buyer questions directly. Repeating existing information gives them little reason to cite you. Original surveys provide unique statistics, named benchmarks, and direct answers that can be extracted and attributed. TrendCandy structures the findings as focused, AI-citable pages — not just one gated PDF.

TrendCandy runs the entire pipeline: strategy, questionnaire design, programming, respondent recruitment, fieldwork, analysis, and story development. Most projects take approximately two to three weeks. You receive story-ready data — not a spreadsheet your team must decode.

The best research gives journalists a statistic, executives a point of view, buyers a benchmark, sellers a credible conversation starter, and AI engines a distinct source. If you want to lead the AI category conversation, investigate what the market does not know yet — and own the answer.
