mdf funding

The mdf funding tag covers discussion of how vendors could connect partner incentives with the costs of AI usage. Featured content examines a proposal to treat AI tokens as a managed partner benefit within channel programs, rather than as an unplanned operating expense. It looks at how AI agents, copilots, and automated workflows used in partner portals, sales systems, and service-delivery tools create usage-based costs that can be difficult to forecast. The discussion also compares changing AI pricing and usage limits with subscription models, offering context for how vendors may structure funding, benefits, and partner programs as generative AI adoption grows.
