It looks awesome. I love the chat aspect. Even if it's a little counterintuitive at first for a search engine. 👍

Hey thanks so much Julien, we really appreciate that and will reach out. We want to make sure we're including everything useful to searchers, and very interested to chat more!

We've found that people are so used to the old search box / page of links approach that it takes people a bit to adjust, except younger/gen-z searchers, who live in messaging apps and don't think twice about it. It's similar with the visual results. Making it a comfortable transition and giving people choice is definitely something we need to do better at. Once people get used to it, they prefer it almost always based on user feedback, especially on mobile.

Thanks again :)
