alt Hacker NewsFrom what I have seen at work, everyone is using chat bots but no one is visiting websites through them. We still get almost all traffic through social media and google search.

How many from a direct link without a tracker? That’s usually how I use it for search, get the answer, find the sources and copy the link to a new tab

Yeah. Do you want the bot to buy the product from your website or your competitors?
the numbers are much smaller than traditional search but they are trending up, and they convert at almost 2x the rate of organic search inbounds. sure you can play catchup later, but the trend is quite clear. if there's one thing the last two years have taught me, my prior heuristics on now vs future don't work in 2026.
