  "summary": "36 DAX companies in the AI agent test: only four pass the test with all four agent types, at two none gets any further. All numbers, CC BY 4.0.",
  "shortAnswer": "Of 36 tested DAX companies, only four pass the test with all four agent types, each reaching its own goal from a readable price to the cart or quote: Deutsche Telekom, Qiagen, DHL Group, Infineon. At adidas and Zalando, none of the four agent types gets any further. At 14 companies, according to AI answers, the purchase goes through third parties.",
  "hook": "We will send agents on far more errands than we can imagine today: searching, comparing, requesting, buying, mostly in the background. Every one of these errands lands on a website. A company that the agent cannot find there, or cannot use, loses the customer without noticing. We wanted to know how well prepared Germany's largest companies are for this, and sent AI agents to 36 DAX companies, each with one real customer task. [S1] The result: only four companies pass the test with all four agent types; at adidas and Zalando none gets any further; the ranking ends with adidas, Allianz, Bayer, SAP and BMW.",
  "keyStatements": [
    "Only 11% of DAX companies (4 of 36) pass the AI agent test with all four tested agent types.",
    "The more an AI agent works like a human, the more often it reaches its goal on DAX websites: the plain text fetch on 39 percent of the tested websites, the browser agent on 68 percent.",
    "Only 39% of DAX websites (14 of 36) let the plain text fetch reach its goal; on 10 it fails completely, on 12 it gets only part of the way.",
    "At none of the 36 DAX companies did the AI agent test go as far as the purchase: measurement ended at the cart, the quote or the order-ready price; beyond that, the furthest runs hit a customer account, a login or an identity check.",
    "97% of DAX companies (35 of 36) score fewer than 50 of 100 points on AI visibility, measured with questions in which nobody names them.",
    "In the DAX 40 measurement there is practically no linear relationship between AI visibility and usability for agents (r = −0.02 across 36 companies).",
    "At 39% of DAX companies (14 of 36), the index classifies the purchase path as structurally through third parties: in the AI answers, retailers, comparison portals, brokers or implementation partners come before the brand.",
    "Not a single one of the 36 DAX companies achieves both: at least 50 of 100 points on AI visibility and the AI agent test passed with all four agent types."
