A range of AI startups are changing the way we search the web and in the process threatens Google’s search dominance with rapid growth since the late 1990s.
This week, San Francisco-based startup Pllexity recently valued at $14 billion, launching its own AI-abable web browser for some subscribers. According to reports Reuters.
Steve Jang, founder and managing partner of Kindred Ventures, said these AI web browsers target Google’s search scope directly, especially through its popular Google Chrome web browser, and have the potential to disrupt the industry by reimagining the search experience.
“Every technology cycle, everyone questioned whether a new startup could be able to do it – they could beat or even gain a lot of market share from these legacy platforms,” he told him. wealth.
For example, the confusing AI browser Comet, an AI chatbot with Pelplexity preinstalled to replace search. It also includes an AI agent called Comet Assistant, which claims to automatically book meetings or send emails, buy things for you, and tell you what you need to know for the day.
Google Paparo said the entry of these AI products could also be timely and could take advantage of the “window of opportunity” because Google Paparo said before Google Paperser Products was once Ari Paparo, as Google will face an uncertain future. One such remedy may include Rotate Chrome Web Browser AI Upstart tries to compete with it.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Nevertheless, it is unclear how the search market will eventually lead to new entrants. In part, Google Chrome still has an advantage About 68% of the marketand the massive amount of user data it collects – then switching browsers involves friction, which is a challenge in itself.
But in terms of AI usage, OpenAI is already head-on with Google. According to a recent survey by Wedbush, 29% of consumers said they use OpenAI regularly, while 30% said they use Google’s Gemini.
Paparo said the technology of AI web browsers needs to better convince consumers to switch products.
“What is the browser from confusion or Openai that browser will be 10 times more than Google does? They already have AI, they already have AI, they already have browsers. wealth.
Worse, like most other AI platforms, AI-enabled comets are still prone to hallucinations in some cases, TechCrunch Report.
Despite this, VC’s Jang still says he is still confident that he has made significant progress in confusion. In addition to Comet, the company has previously launched mobile apps with voice capabilities and has done its own push-up AI agents with confusing labs.
He said that while Google may be a search giant, confusion is a newbie eager to open up.
He added: “Technological monopoly is an excellent opportunity for startups and will be attacked through design.”
