Founding-partner previewA working brief on the shift to AI-mediated discovery. Figures are the most recent available and will be updated as new studies publish.

Why memprofile

The AI assistant knows your feelings but not your brand.

Why the next era of consumer discovery is acoustic, and what it means for every brand that wants to be found by feeling.

Different generations are integrating AI into their lives in distinct ways, though the overall gaps in adoption are actively narrowing. Gen Z and Millennials account for 65% of global AI “super-users” today, and older demographics are catching up faster than any prior technology curve.

Three generations, three different relationships with AI — all converging on discovery.

Gen Z

The volume leaders.

70%
have experimented with generative AI

Gen Z leads in total usage volume. In the EU, 63.8% of 16- to 24-year-olds use generative AI, compared to 32.7% of the general population. In the U.S., 46% of 18- to 29-year-olds have integrated AI into their weekly routines.

Millennials

The power users.

56%
use generative AI at work

Millennials are the primary power users for sustained, daily, and professional applications. They exhibit the highest comfort level with AI in professional settings — 90% feel comfortable using the tools, and more than half employ generative AI at work.

Baby Boomers & older

The quiet majority.

45%
of Boomers use AI assistants

Older demographics are defying expectations with broad adoption, primarily using AI for practical daily assistance and emotional support. 11% have integrated AI into their daily routines, and in the U.S., 23% of individuals over 65 use AI on a weekly basis.

The shift

The end of search.

Discovery is moving from a list of blue links to a single AI-generated answer. The brands named in that answer are the brands that will be bought. A short film on what this means for marketing and advertising.
