Marketing
Marketing teams adopt AI fast and from the bottom up — individual writers and designers expense per-seat tools before procurement catches up. Flowstate has no agent or billing coverage for this modality today; it's almost entirely contract SaaS spend.

What Flowstate misses today
Most of it. Notion AI and Perplexity are catalog-listed (so Flowstate recognises them), but the rest live as line items on the marketing org's SaaS budget. The pragmatic approach: aggregate marketing AI as a single SaaS budget line with the combined monthly cost, then revisit quarterly as the tool list shifts. These are copilots people use, so they never get worker lines of their own (see The AI cost model).
