Consensus Acquires Saleo, Creating the Industry's First Agentic Product Experience Platform

Consensus has announced the acquisition of Saleo, an AI-native live demo platform, strengthening its vision of building a unified Product Experience Platform for modern B2B buying journeys. The move follows Consensus' recent acquisition of Peel and brings together three complementary technologies focused on helping software companies engage buyers more effectively.

"The acquisition signals a major shift from traditional product demos to AI-powered, buyer-led product experiences."

Today's B2B buyers expect to explore products on their own terms before speaking with a sales representative. However, many organizations still rely on static presentations, generic demos, and fragmented customer engagement tools. By combining Consensus, Saleo, and Peel, the company aims to create a seamless experience that allows buyers to discover, evaluate, and experience software products throughout the purchasing journey.

Saleo brings powerful live-demo capabilities to the Consensus ecosystem. The platform enables sales teams to create personalized demonstrations using realistic data and tailored environments, helping prospects better understand how a solution would work within their own organization.

Together, the combined platform bridges the gap between self-guided product exploration and high-impact live demonstrations.

Consensus has long been recognized for pioneering the demo automation category, helping companies scale product experiences through interactive demos and buyer engagement insights. Saleo adds a layer of customization and real-time personalization, while Peel contributes AI-powered buyer intelligence and conversational experiences.

The result is what Consensus describes as the industry's first Agentic Product Experience Platform, where AI agents can guide buyers, answer questions, surface relevant product information, and deliver personalized experiences across every stage of the evaluation process.

Instead of simply showing products, the new platform is designed to actively guide buyers toward purchase decisions.

The acquisition also reflects a broader trend across the software industry. As artificial intelligence reshapes customer engagement, companies are looking for ways to reduce sales cycles, improve qualification, and provide buyers with immediate access to information. Organizations that can deliver personalized product experiences at scale are increasingly gaining a competitive advantage.

For Consensus customers, the acquisition promises deeper product storytelling, more engaging demonstrations, richer buyer insights, and greater automation throughout the revenue process. By integrating Saleo's technology into its platform, Consensus is positioning itself at the intersection of AI, product-led growth, and modern revenue generation.
