From clicks to context: AI is changing how we work, not just how we search

Generative AI is not only changing how we search but how we work. Where search engines once delivered links, AI now delivers answers, analyses, and actions directly within one unified environment.

With technologies like Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, we’re seeing the beginning of a transformation in the search landscape, where answers are generated directly, often without the user ever clicking through to a website.

According to Gartner, up to 25% of all searches are expected to shift from traditional search engines to AI assistants in the coming years. This marks a significant shift that affects not just marketing departments but the entire digital architecture of a company.

From Clicks to Context

Generative AI aggregates information from many sources such as websites, reviews, and open content, and combines it into one unified answer.

This means visibility no longer depends on keywords but on content quality and structure.

Companies must therefore be able to answer:

• Is our content structured and machine-readable?

• Is our information up to date, trustworthy, and consistent?

Visibility is no longer a matter of clicks but of context and accessibility.

From Search to Action: The Browser as the new workplace

While AI has already changed the way we search for information, the next step is that the actual work moves into the browser.

We see the first signs of this with the launch of tools like ChatGPT Atlas, an AI-powered browser where users can “converse with” web pages, perform tasks, and gain insights without switching between tabs.

Instead of merely presenting information, AI can now act on the user’s behalf: fill out forms, compare products, or summarize complex websites, all within a single environment.

For knowledge workers, this means fewer manual clicks; for companies, it means the browser becomes a central tool for productivity, decision-making, and learning.

Consequences for online visibility

According to a Danish Industry (Dansk Industri) article about generative AI search engines, concrete shifts in traffic and visibility are already happening:

  • More views, but fewer clicks: The user’s question is answered directly in the search result, without necessarily visiting the site.

 

  • Higher quality clicks: When users do click through, they are often further along in the buying journey, potentially improving conversion rates even as visitor numbers decline.

 

  • Your brand may become less visible in the traditional flow: Agents that act on behalf of users might mean the brand is never directly visited.

A step forward, and perhaps a step back

This new reality opens doors to efficiency, new opportunities, and faster workflows. But it also raises critical questions:

  • How much control are we willing to hand over to a browser agent that remembers our preferences and actions?

 

  • How do we ensure trust, content security, and transparency in a time where “clicks” are no longer the central metric?

 

  • How should measurement and KPIs adapt to a new reality where visibility may not come through web traffic?

 

Companies must not only think about “being found” but about “being understood”, by both humans and machines.

ZRM’s perspective: from content to infrastructure

At ZRM, we see AI shifting the focus from marketing to digital infrastructure. When the browser can analyze, summarize, and act on its own, it becomes critical that a company’s content is structured, accessible, and understandable to AI.

ZRM helps companies to:

1. Structure content to bring clarity and order

2. Automate processes to keep information always up to date

3. Build websites that make content usable for both humans and machines

The competition of the future is not about being found, but about being functional in an AI-powered ecosystem.

At ZRM, we help companies ensure their content and digital foundation are ready for this new reality.
