AI重塑流量入口,大摩:“垂类网站”短期无忧、长期或被架空
硬AI· 2025-10-16 22:22
AI对垂直信息平台的当前角色与影响 - 生成式AI正重塑用户发现信息的方式,对依赖流量的互联网平台构成潜在挑战[4] - 目前AI更多扮演分类信息网站的“分发者”和赋能者,而非平台的取代者或颠覆者[4] - AI正日益成为一个分发层(distribution layer),改变了用户通过对话式界面开启搜索的方式[4] - AI改变了用户搜索的起点,却未触及交易执行的终点,正成为一个新的中间人[7] - 用户的初次互动转移到了AI的对话界面,但底层的交易撮合与数据支持仍然依赖于现有平台[6] 短期格局与头部平台优势 - 短期内,AI的介入甚至可能巩固行业领导者的地位[9] - 头部垂直类网站凭借品牌和数据护城河依然稳固[4] - ChatGPT的应用倾向于与单个、已建立品牌声誉的平台直接互动,这实际上巩固了各垂直领域头部公司的“护城河”[11] - 以Zillow与ChatGPT的整合为例,合作模式让平台无需承担自研大语言模型的巨额成本和风险[10] - 更高质量的对话式搜索可能带来转化率更高的潜在客户,从而增强平台对其专业客户的议价能力[12] 长期潜在风险与颠覆性场景 - 长期风险在于用户关系被截留、品牌价值被“架空”[4] - 关键风险是AI开始蚕食平台的“直接访问”流量,即用户不再直接打开垂类网站App而转向AI助手[14] - 领先的分类信息平台约50%的流量为直接访问,30%来自自然搜索,蚕食直接访问流量将严重削弱品牌粘性[14] - 潜在风险之一是若某个大型语言模型成为主导AI助手,将有能力控制搜索结果的排序和商业化政策,将主导权从内容平台转向交互界面[14] - 最极端的颠覆性场景是“全知助手”的出现,AI成为用户全权代理,可能完全绕过现有平台[15]
Zillow: It’d take an ‘unrealistic’ mortgage rate drop to restore housing market affordability

Most Read from Fast Company A recent Zillow analysis suggests it would take a drop of more than one percentage point—to 4.43%—for the median-income U.S. homebuyer to comfortably afford the median-priced U.S. home. And that assumes a 20% down payment, which many first-time buyers are unable to make. Even more striking, in several high-cost coastal metros, not even a 0% mortgage rate would m ...
