    One big shift in 2025: the decline of "Google it." The search monopoly is ending.

    Google controls ~90% of U.S. search, but its grip is slipping. Its recent U.S. antitrust ruling encourages Apple and other phone manufacturers to empower alternative search providers. More than just legal pressure, gen AI is coming for search.

    ChatGPT has 250+ million weekly active users, and OpenAI is rumored to be working on its own browser.

    Answer engine Perplexity is gaining share, growing 25%+ month-over-month, and changing the search engagement form. Their queries average ~10 words, 3x+ longer than traditional search, and nearly half lead to follow-up questions. Big fan of their Shopping interface - the fastest way to search + purchase for holiday gifting.

    Character, Claude, Grok, Meta AI, Poe, and other chatbots are also carving off portions of search. 60% of US consumers used a chatbot to research or decide on a purchase in the past 30 days.

    For deep work, professionals are leveraging domain-specific providers like Causaly (science), Consensus (academic research), and Hebbia (financial services).

    Ads and links historically aligned with Google’s mission: organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

    But Google has become so cluttered and gamed that users need to dig through the results. Users want answers and depth. Google itself can offer its own AI results, but at the cost of short-term profits.

    Google as a verb is under siege. The race is on for its replacement.

    One big shift in 2025: the decline of "Google it." The search monopoly is ending.
