AI Could Strengthen S&P Global's Moat, Not Weaken It

ThinkingAI, which builds autonomous growth software for consumer and gaming companies, has opened its analytics, engagement and agent stack to game studios that buy software with a card instead of a procurement cycle, offering four self-serve plans priced from $0 to $999 a month. The Free tier costs $0 and includes 2 million events a month, 1 project, 1 seat, 12 months of data retention and $10 in Agent Credits for the first month, with no credit card required. Starter costs $199 a month for 5 million events, 2 projects, 5 seats, 24 months of retention and $25 a month in Agent Credits, while Pro costs $399 a month for 10 million events, 2 projects, 10 seats, 48 months of retention and $50 a month in Agent Credits. Team costs $999 a month for 30 million events, 3 projects, 15 seats, 60 months of retention and $100 a month in Agent Credits, and an Enterprise tier is sold by agreement with sales for larger studios with compliance or data residency requirements. Annual billing saves 20%, paid plans are billed through Stripe and can be cancelled at any time, and a studio that outgrows its event allowance moves up a plan inside the product with no re-instrumentation and no migration. The plans follow ThinkingAI's Sept. 16 launch of the Agentic Engine and draw on 10 years of behavioral data across more than 1,500 enterprises and 8,000 applications, including Sega, Krafton, Habby, Century Games, Xiaomi, Yostar, TCL and FunPlus, and are being announced at the ThinkingAI Agentic Game Growth Summit in Istanbul, co-hosted with Mobidictum.

Euromonitor International unveiled the next generation of Passport, its AI-powered market intelligence platform, on October 6, 2026. The rollout begins today, with clients transitioning to the new Passport experience in phases through a structured onboarding programme. A defining feature is Passport Connect, which extends Euromonitor intelligence beyond the Passport platform into the tools organisations use every day, letting teams access trusted market insight in Microsoft Copilot and other supported AI assistants through MCP, and bring Euromonitor data into their own applications, enterprise systems and workflows through APIs and integrations. The rebuilt platform allows users to ask questions in natural language, connects intelligence across markets, consumers, companies and economies, and uses AI-generated summaries and unified search to reach relevant insight faster. CEO Tim Kitchin said the next generation of Passport builds on more than 50 years of independent research and expert analysis, while Chief Technology Officer Chris Fosberry said Passport Connect makes Euromonitor's market intelligence accessible within the tools organisations already know.
