Bar chart
What clients expect from agencies using AI
From a 2026 survey of 400 client-side decision-makers

A bar chart of what client-side decision-makers say they expect from their agencies as AI use grows, from the Agency Edge 2026 study of 400 clients. Accountability and transparency come far ahead of lower fees. Agencies can use it to plan how they present AI-assisted work, starting with a clear method and AI slide in every deliverable, which Koji's report export makes quick to build.
