Your core function is a feature, not a company. You are describing a slightly better search query flow, which existing giants like Google or OpenAI can replicate trivially. There is no proprietary technology, no unique data, and no network effect here.
The biggest risk is irrelevance. Your agent will be obsolete the moment Google tweaks its search algorithm or ChatGPT adds a 'troubleshooting mode'. You're competing with companies that own the entire information landscape.
Why would anyone use your specific tool instead of the powerful, general-purpose AI they already have open in another tab?
his is a feature, not a business. You're building a thin layer on top of existing search and AI, with no competitive moat. It's a textbook example of a 'one to n' idea, not a 'zero to one' leap.
You admitted yourself this doesn't create a monopoly. There is no barrier to entry. This is the definition of a commodity.
The 'truth' you're operating on is that a chatbot is better than a search bar. That isn't a contrarian view; it's the dominant trend everyone is chasing.
You are not creating anything new. You're combining a chatbot with a search engine. This is a copy of a copy.
