AI ITAM tools in 2026: knowing the table stakes from the smart bets.

Four camps in the AI-for-ITAM race: table stakes, aggregators, disruptors, and one smart bet

I'd like to provide an update on the AI ITAM tools I've been looking at over the last four or five months. I've grouped these into what I see as four core categories: tools where AI is arguably table stakes, what all technology should have these days; a new category of startups doing data aggregation; real disruptors in the ITAM space using AI; and a fourth I'm calling the smart bet, a call on where expertise and AI really sit in future.
