AI has become a defining force for independent software vendors. Customer expectations are rising, competitors are moving quickly, and product leaders are under pressure to deliver smarter capabilities without losing roadmap focus.

For most ISVs, the challenge is not whether to adopt AI, but how to integrate it in a way that drives growth, strengthens the product, and delivers real customer outcomes without slowing development or stretching engineering teams thin.

This AI Integration Playbook is a strategic guide built specifically for ISV product, engineering, and executive leaders. It outlines how to integrate AI into your platform in a practical, high-impact way while keeping your core roadmap intact.
