For decades, search engine users typed short keywords and sifted through pages of results. Now, a massive shift is underway. AI-powered “answer engines” and conversational search interfaces are revolutionizing the way we find information online. Instead of providing ten blue links, these AI-driven tools deliver direct answers or engage in back-and-forth dialogue. Consumers no longer want to scroll through endless results – they expect AI to give a definitive answer, personalized and immediate.
You’re at a conference. If you’re properly prepared, you’ve made sure that you have a box of business cards with nice shiny graphics, embossed letters and no doubt a witty or profound saying on the card. If, on the other hand, you’re someone like me, that box of shiny cards is sitting on your beside table at your house, where you put them while you were packing everything else and then promptly forgot about. Your house is now sixteen hundred miles away, and so you’re forced to cadge everyone else’s cards to remember contacts.
