In general I find these reports have some gaps but for most topics they provide a reasonable picture of what is going on. I personally prefer them over deep research reports coming out of chatgpt etc. as they are just walls of text that I skip to go to the result table.
For example as somebody interested in coffee this is pretty comprehensive based on my previous research work: https://select.keenable.ai/r/dual-boiler-prosumer-espresso-m...
One key difference is that we’re using LLMs to create structured data on the fly based on the query. That means we don't need to relying on webmasters to explicitly annotate pages with metadata which in my view was one of the main reasons why the semantic web did not work out.
The engine itself is part of the reranked aggregate so if it finds something useful and everybody else does not it gets full credit.
This automatically optimizing for clicks using ML is the main way google and other "human" focused search engines have been improving for 20 years. Not sure what citation is needed here.
The queries from what I can tell are not trivial. The actual github repo of the benchmark has a judgement/query browser where you can inspect the different query streams: https://keenableai.github.io/needle/
We developed this live benchmark with daily/hourly sampled fresh queries matching real agentic search traffic to estimate actual search performance of different AI search providers.
This provides interesting tradeoffs where models can call search much more frequently which we believe is one thing that is not happening today.
Our benchmarks (see https://keenableai.github.io/needle/card-lowshared/ ) also suggest that some players in the market, such as Parallel and Brave, may be using the same underlying search index.
Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility
We started in a garage, but we’re not there anymore. We are big, we impact the world, and we are far from perfect. We must be humble and thoughtful about even the secondary effects of our actions. Our local communities, planet, and future generations need us to be better every day. We must begin each day with a determination to make better, do better, and be better for our customers, our employees, our partners, and the world at large. And we must end every day knowing we can do even more tomorrow. Leaders create more than they consume and always leave things better than how they found them.
these actions are exactly the opposite of what they claim to try to strive towards.
