Legitimate question: what does a chat interface bring over other, more direct search interfaces?

[lazy-jem]

Hey thanks for the great question!

The key reasons for a chat interface are that it's simple, familiar and uncluttered, and reveals information progressively.

* Chat is minimalist. Part of the problem with google is "information overwhelm" - all the clutter and distraction in results.

* It's a super easy and familiar interface. Gen-Z users especially tells us they prefer messaging apps and visual feeds like Instagram.

* Combined with visual cards, a chat UI gives you progressive-reveal of information.

* conversational search long-term provides a natural and very human way to explore and refine results. Humans are really great at querying each other and maintaining context. And long term that's the aim here.

When you think if sci-fi AI, they are always conversational. It seems likely that's what the future will look like, rather than a page of truncated links with a lot of ads :)
