"Just ask Dave send him a text"

In this episode of the AI Voice Bot Podcast, Dave explores how AI assistants are rapidly overtaking traditional search engines. Once dominated by Google, information access is now shifting toward AI, with assistants handling over 30% of queries and projected to exceed 80% by 2026.

The reasons are clear: AI delivers comprehensive answers in under 30 seconds, compared to the 15 minutes people typically spend navigating search results. Businesses adopting AI report a 40% cut in wasted search time, saving nearly two hours per employee each day. Customer service resolution rates are also surging — from 30% with FAQ systems to 85% with AI.

AI’s contextual understanding sets it apart. Tests show it interprets ambiguous queries with 92% accuracy, far ahead of search engines at 67%. In healthcare, professionals are 60% more efficient in research, while marketing teams are shifting spend from SEO to AI-optimised content. Even Google’s own employees are using AI for 40% of their internal queries.

The message is clear: information access is becoming conversational, intuitive, and personalised. With 85% of users saying they can’t imagine going back once they’ve switched to AI, the age of traditional search is fading fast.
