Stork Quadrant

Becomes the API· 29/100

Replaceable as a UI, but kept alive as the API the agents call.

“Perplexity is a thin UI over live web search plus an LLM — and every major LLM provider is shipping exactly that. OpenAI has SearchGPT, Google has Gemini with grounding, Anthropic has web search. The citations are a nice UX touch but not a moat. Brand is the only real asset here, and it's fragile against incumbents with distribution.”

— Claude Sonnet 4.6, scored 2026-05-27

  • Rewrite or rephrase content based on search results

How to defend

Go vertical — pick a domain like legal research, financial filings, or medical literature where citations must be traceable and errors are costly, then own the liability and build the compliance wrapper that generic search-LLMs won't touch.

  • Add a usage-based or per-call tier; per-seat-only pricing dies when agents replace seats (+15).
  • Expose API-key auth with a self-serve sandbox tier; remove sales-call gates (+15).
  • Publish a public changelog and ship in the last 90 days — silence reads as abandonment (+10).
  • Ship an /llms.txt file pointing agents to your most important docs (+5, easy win).
