The Assistive Engines definition
### What Assistive Engines Means
How Jason Barnard uses Assistive Engines definition
Jason Barnard established this term to accurately reflect the fundamental shift from users *searching for* information to users *being assisted* in finding solutions. Unlike traditional search engines that provide a list of links, Assistive Engines enter into a dialogue, interpret intent, and deliver curated answers or recommendations. This creates a "conversational funnel" where the engine actively guides the user. For a brand, this means the engine's understanding of your Digital Brand Echo—the cumulative effect of your online presence—is paramount. The engine's perception of your brand determines whether it will introduce, consider, or confidently recommend you in its conversation with a potential customer, making it a critical focus for driving business results.
