<p>Is there a tech company today that isn’t marketing itself as AI-powered? In a landscape that’s become a sea of sameness, plenty of brands have settled into tacking the latest tech buzzwords onto their messaging. But when every company is talking about AI, customers still aren’t understanding the most important thing: why they should choose you over your competitors.</p>

<p>In this episode of Brand2Brand, Tom and Veronica compare Fin and Help Scout, two customer service software brands taking very different approaches to the AI hype. Fin has gone all-in, renaming the former Intercom business around its AI agent and backing its new position with aggressive, measurable proof points. Help Scout, meanwhile, keeps AI beneath a broader promise built around customer relationships and human connection.</p>

<p>The comparison raises a bigger positioning question that every brand needs to ask itself right now: If everyone in your category is telling the same story, what can you actually own?</p>

<p>From redefining your brand’s category to focusing on measurable outcomes, we’re talking about what strong brand positioning really requires, and why building your brand around what you can credibly own will always be a better differentiator than chasing the latest trend.</p>

In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing.
