Recognized in the “Applied AI” category for helping customers drive transformational growth with the Revenue AI Operating System
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gong, the leading revenue AI company, today announced it has been named to Fast Company’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026 in the Applied AI category. This year’s list recognizes businesses shaping industry and culture through breakthrough innovation across sectors.
At the center of this recognition is the Gong Revenue AI Operating System (OS) – a unified system that brings together data, workflows, and intelligent automation to help go-to-market teams execute with precision and consistency. Powered by the Gong Revenue Graph, it captures and analyzes customer interactions across calls, emails, and meetings, turning them into actionable insights that drive smarter decisions and faster growth.
“AI only creates value when it drives action,” said Amit Bendov, CEO and co-founder, Gong. “Since we began 10 years ago, Gong has taken an AI-first approach to helping revenue teams operate more efficiently and effectively, embedding intelligence directly into their daily work so they can turn customer data into measurable outcomes. This recognition underscores our commitment to continuous innovation that transforms how go-to-market teams execute, collaborate, and win.”
Over the past year, Gong has extended its lead in AI with its suite of intelligent agents purpose-built for revenue teams. These agents work in tandem with teams to drive real impact by actively participating in workflows – automating tasks, identifying signals, and guiding sellers. By embedding AI into these workflows, Gong has accelerated customer adoption and growth, with the number of monthly users of Gong’s AI agents increasing by 75 percent over the past year.
The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company‘s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process.
