The category splits along the axis of where the search happens. Consumer-facing tools compete with traditional search engines by providing conversational answers with cited sources. Enterprise search tools, including tools like Mirrorthink and InnoSearch, focus on making internal company data findable across documents, wikis, and communication channels. Vertical tools like Lykdat focus on specific domains, in that case fashion retail, delivering more precise results than a general search engine would. Key factors when evaluating: citation quality and whether answers link back to verifiable sources, latency (since AI search can be noticeably slower than traditional search), and how well the tool handles queries where the answer is not publicly available. For enterprise tools, data security and access control are critical since the tool will index sensitive internal content. Pricing ranges from free web-search alternatives to expensive per-seat enterprise plans.
