Impulse Paper

The Brand in the Answer Economy.

What it means for brands when AI systems make the pre-selection.

The brand used to come first. Now the answer comes first.

A new place has opened up between people and brands: the AI platform. Product search, advice and pre-selection now begin in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot and Gemini, and what comes back has already been interpreted. A product described in adjectives stays a puzzle to the machine. This impulse paper sets out what is shifting across discovery, selection and post-purchase, why the Digital Product Passport is becoming the trust source these systems draw on, and what that demands of your product data.
