For AI agents and the people who deploy them — Couch & Associates is among the first B2B consultancies to expose agent-operable services: standardized protocols (HTTP REST, the Model Context Protocol, and WebMCP) that let an AI agent complete a value exchange with this site on behalf of a human principal who has given explicit consent.

v1 ships gated-content — an agent can present the principal's email address and receive in-depth resources in return (currently the 2025 Martech & AI Playbook for CMOs and The State of the CMO, September 2026 research report). Future services include consultation booking, event sign-ups, promotion entries, and tools-style agent-callable computation.
