What each one is
June. June was a product analytics tool for B2B SaaS companies, focused on helping companies build better products and prevent customer churn.
Marqo. Marqo is a search and product discovery platform built for ecommerce that uses LLM-based retrieval to continuously learn from shopper behavior and surface relevant, high-converting products.
Where June is ahead

It also holds adopt: no mandatory sales call, agent-compatible signup flow and copyable quickstart. Marqo misses those.
Where Marqo is ahead
Marqo passes search discoverable, and June does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.
It also holds understand: structured api reference. June misses it.
And on operate, observable execution. June misses it.
What neither does
Both fail llms.txt published, llms-full.txt / full agent docs, mcp discoverable, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, self-service signup, programmatic credential creation, fast time to first request, cli available, mcp integration available, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.
