The embarrassment received 780 million questions in May, CEO Aravind Srinivas shared on stage at the Bloomberg Summit Technical Summit on Thursday. Srinivas said the AI search engine sees more than 20% increase of month to month.
“Give one year. We will, like a billion, questions a week if we can maintain this rate of growth,” Srinvas said. “And this is quite impressive because on the first day in 2022, we made 3,000 questions, only one day, so from there to ask 30 million questions a day now, it was apparent growth.”
Srinivas continued to note that the same growth trajectory is possible, especially with the new comet browser in which it works.
“If people are in the browser, it is infinite maintenance,” he said. “Everything on the search bar, all on the new tab page, everything you do in Sidecar, any of the pages you are. All of these will be additional questions per active user, as well as looking for new users who are simply tired of inheritance browsers, such as Chrome.
Srinivas said that the reason that embarrassment is the development of the comet is to shift the role of AI from the simple provision of answers to the actual completion of actions on your behalf. Explain that when you receive an AI -powered answer, it is essentially four or five searches in one. On the other hand, AI performing an action would be to take an entire browsing session with a prompting.
“You really have to really have a browser and hybridize the calculation to the customer and the server’s side in the most smooth way,” he said. “And this requires to review the entire browser.”
He continued to explain that embarrassment does not think of Comet as “another browser” but as a “cognitive operating system”.
“It will be there for you every time, anytime, for work or life, as a system on the side, or as you just go and tour for you,” Srivikas said. “And I think this will make us think again how we think of the internet, as we will browse the internet earlier, but now people are living more and more on the internet.
While the company has not revealed too much about the browser, Srinivas said in April that one reason why embarrassment is developing its own browser is to monitor users’ activity beyond its own application, so that it can sell pre -installation ads, which will essentially reflect what Google is doing today.
At the moment it is unknown when exactly the comet will start but Srinivas previously told x that it will start in the coming weeks.
