The backstory
AnswerThePublic turned autocomplete data into those familiar question wheels that filled a thousand content briefs. Its output was a list of questions people might ask about a topic. That is now a single prompt, returned in seconds, grouped by intent, with no seat limit. The novelty visualisation was the moat and the moat evaporated.
