In\u00a0<\/span>Google Search & The Productivity Spectrum<\/a>, I\u2019ve highlighted the main mistake when analyzing a market: treating it as if it exists in a vacuum. <\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, search developed at a time when it could solve a key issue: <\/span>enabling a growing number of users of the nascent commercial Internet to quickly find information in the plethora of web pages that went from millions to billions.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, as content on the web grew exponentially, identifying which content was good enough to be indexed, ranked, and served to users based on their intent has become a staple of the last thirty years. <\/p>\n

Yet incumbent markets, like search, exist because they made sense in the context in which they developed. <\/p>\n

However, that is the key point: that specific market was developed to solve a specific need that, at that moment, could be solved based on the available tech.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Eventually, as search has become a dominant market, and Google captured the lion\u2019s share of it, we ended up thinking that search is something we can\u2019t live without. <\/p>\n

But, we need to ask the more fundamental question: What was the purpose of Google search?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

If we go by the \u201cexpert answer,\u201d we classify the real world into query types, which tells us that Google search will always be around. <\/p>\n

\n
<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

But this fallacy misses the fundamental question of why the search industry existed in the first place. <\/p>\n

I argue, it\u2019s all about the \u201cproductivity spectrum.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In short, search has helped users for 30 years as a productivity tool, helping them perform simple to more complex tasks. <\/p>\n

You needed to perform a legal search. You started with Google and used it to find the most relevant information to finalize your research. Then, you checked the sources by leveraging Google. <\/p>\n

You needed to perform a financial analysis. You started with Google, gathered the most relevant information to finalize the report, and then returned to Google to confirm its accuracy. <\/p>\n

That was then. Indeed, now, with AI in the loop, the whole productivity workflow has changed. <\/p>\n

\n
<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

And we\u2019re only at the start of this shift in the productivity spectrum. <\/p>\n

What began as a tool-based interaction has evolved into increasingly autonomous systems reshaping how we work. <\/p>\n

This evolution can be understood through three paradigms: Human-in-the-Loop, Human-Looped-in, and Agentic AI<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
