Perplexity founder Aravind Srinivas explains the โuser is never wrongโ philosophy of Larry Page Back in the early days of Google, Larry Page met with the CEO of Excite, the second-biggest search engine at the time. During the meeting, they compared search results. Googleโs results were clearly better, but Exciteโs CEO made excuses, saying, โIf you typed the query differently, it wouldโve worked.โ Larry Page had a different mindset. He believed a search engine should deliver great results no matter what users typedโeven if there were typos or mistakes. His approach was simple: โDo the magic behind the scenes, so users still get the answer they need.โ This philosophy shaped Google into the search giant we know today, while Excite faded into history. The lesson? Great products make life easier. They donโt demand perfection or effort from users. As Aravind says, the future of AI lies in creating products so smart they work seamlesslyโeven when users donโt. Magic happens when technology embraces human laziness.
