Notion recently hosted a discussion featuring Andrew Yan, Co-founder & CEO of AthenaHQ, alongside Kyle Atkinson, Notion’s NAMER Startup Partnerships Lead. The conversation focused on the evolution of AI in product discovery and decision-making processes, emphasizing the necessity of empathy for end users.
Key Takeaways:
- Changing Discovery: AI is shifting how products are discovered, moving from ranking links to generating precise answers by leveraging information from various sources beyond just websites.
- Evolving SEO: Traditional SEO strategies aren't sufficient anymore; brand visibility now greatly relies on the AI models' interpretation of information across diverse platforms.
- Empathy Over Features: The discussion highlighted that the key to success in AI is understanding what genuinely aids users rather than just adding more features to products.
This discussion underlines how founders and developers must adapt their strategies in light of AI's growing influence. Emphasizing empathy and redefining visibility in the context of AI will be crucial for those aiming to deliver value and maintain relevance in the market.
