The Internet Just Tilted
Plus, the end of high-effort content and developer tools that actually save you time.
Yesterday, a whole bunch of tools launched to automate the things we used to grind through. But one of them quietly revealed that the entire game we've been playing has changed.
Your SEO Playbook Is Officially Obsolete
A new search engine has arrived, and it's hiding inside every AI chatbot.
Your company's SEO strategy is probably focused on the wrong search engine. While everyone has been optimising for Google, a parallel universe of search has exploded inside chatbots. AI SEO Score by Findable is one of the first tools built to measure your visibility in this new world, analysing how and if you show up when users ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for recommendations.
The underlying shift here is massive and almost invisible. Generative AI search has grown 1,200% in the last year, creating an entirely new channel for discovery that traditional SEO tools are completely blind to. This isn't about keywords; it's about being the answer. If your brand isn't recommended in these conversations, you're losing what Findable claims could be 'half your potential traffic'.
This isn't a future problem. It's for any brand or marketer who relies on the internet to find customers. Forgetting to optimise for AI recommendations today is like deciding to ignore Google back in 2004. It's a quiet, tectonic shift in how influence and traffic are distributed online.
The Rise of Effortless Creation
Meanwhile, AI is methodically automating entire workflows we all thought were safe.

My takeaway
AI isn't just a layer on top of the old internet; it's building a new one right next to it.
We see this with AI search creating a discovery channel completely separate from Google, forcing a total rethink of online visibility. We see it in tools that automate creative and marketing work that was previously a manual grind. The old playbooks for how to get noticed, build products, and create content are becoming obsolete faster than we realise.
This means the biggest opportunities are no longer in making a slightly better version of an old tool. They are in building the essential infrastructure for these new frontiers. The most valuable question to ask isn't 'how can AI make my job faster,' but 'what new job will exist because of AI that I can start doing now?'
