The Intent-Based Web is coming.
A few weeks ago Ghost Team presented this thesis at Statista HQ in Hamburg - invited by Ingo Schellhammer, Statista’s CTO, to share insights with their product and tech teams.
The core idea: discovery is shifting from search bars and app stores to conversations.
We explored:
- Why "searching for apps" feels increasingly broken
- How conversational AI changes the discovery layer
- How to design applications for the intent-based web
We were impressed with what Statista is already doing in this space - having their MCP available in Perplexity, Copilot, Langdock and soon to be expanding to other LLMs.
Thank you to Ingo and the Statista team for having us - it was great meeting everyone. A really sharp group of people with lots of great questions, deep product thinking, and a lot of excitement for what's coming next.
