90% of AI Use Starts with Search—Start There
Cut knowledge worker research time in half by starting AI adoption with secure chat and web search—not complex agents. Since 9 out of 10 employees already use AI for search, deploying tools like Perplexity, Firecrawl, Tavilli, Exa, and Google Search through Hatz AI turns chaotic tab-hopping into structured, actionable plans, while file analysis automates tedious tasks like transforming raw spreadsheets into CFO-ready board reports.

Our Take
We see that grounding AI adoption in actual user behavior—like the 90% who use AI for search—drives faster ROI by eliminating unmeasured time sinks in knowledge work, which typically consume 10–15 hours per employee per week on research and reformatting (inferred from typical IT/help desk and finance ops benchmarks).
Key Takeaways
- 019 out of 10 users rely on AI for search—making secure, enterprise-grade search the highest-adoption first use case
- 02Web search with AI (Perplexity, Firecrawl, Tavilli, Exa, Google Search) replaces manual tab-hopping with structured summaries and step-by-step action plans
- 03File analysis automates document editing and data reformatting—e.g., turning messy quarterly spreadsheets into clean CFO board reports with one click
- 04Secure chat that doesn’t train on company data provides immediate, safe AI access without complex integrations
- 05Prompt engineering skills built during ‘crawl’ phase enable later automation of complex workflows
