Or like in the mobile app, when you're clicking, when you're touching the search bar, the speed at which the keypad appears, we focus on all these details. We track all these latencies and that's a discipline that came to us because we really admired Google. And the final philosophy I take from Larry, I want to highlight here is there's this philosophy called the user is never wrong.

It's a very powerful, profound thing. It's very simple, but profound if you truly believe in it. You can blame the user for not prompt engineering, right? My mom is not very good at English, so she uses perplexity. And she just comes and tells me the answer is not...

relevant i look at her query and i'm like first instinct is like come on you didn't you didn't type a proper sentence here she's like then i realized okay like is it her fault like the product should understand her intent despite that and um this is a story that larry says where like you know they were they just tried to sell google to excite

And they did a demo to the Exide CEO where they would fire Exide and Google together and type in the same query, like university. And then in Google, you would rank Stanford, Michigan, and stuff. Exide would just have random arbitrary universities. And the Exide CEO would look at it and say, that's because if you typed in this query, it would have worked on Exide too.

But that's a simple philosophy thing. You just flip that and say, whatever the user types, you're always supposed to give high-quality answers. Then you build a product for that. You go, you do all the magic behind the scenes so that even if the user was lazy, even if there were typos, even if the speech transcription was wrong, they still got the answer and they allowed the product.

And that forces you to do a lot of things that are corely focused on the user. And also this is where I believe the whole prompt engineering, like trying to be a good prompt engineer is not gonna be a long-term thing. I think you wanna make products work where a user doesn't even ask for something, but you know that they want it and you give it to them without them even asking for it.

Yeah, and I don't even need you to type in a query. You can just type in a bunch of words. It should be okay. Like that's the extent to which you've got to design the product because people are lazy and a better product should be one that allows you to be more lazy, not less.
