Answer engine
What is Answer engine?
An answer engine is a search tool that, instead of returning a list of links, returns a written answer, usually with sources cited alongside or below it. ChatGPT with search, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude all work this way. The core shift for a brand is one of scarcity: where there used to be ten results and room for many, now there's a single piece of text that names three or four brands. Either you're one of those names, or, from the asker's perspective, you don't exist.
