ChatGPT vs Google

Ahrefs just launched a monthly tracker comparing referral traffic from Google Search and ChatGPT. Hallelujah.

The dashboard pulls data from over 44,000 websites connected to Ahrefs’ free Web Analytics tool and updates each month.

The early numbers show Google still dominates, driving 41.9% of total traffic in July, compared to ChatGPT’s 0.19%.

But growth trends are worth noting: while Google traffic rose just 1.4%, ChatGPT referrals climbed 5.3%. That means, while small in absolute terms, ChatGPT is currently growing 3.8x faster than Google.

Adobe’s Acrobat Studio

Adobe just rolled out Acrobat Studio, an AI-powered hub designed to make working with PDFs (and other formats) less painful.

PDF Spaces are collaborative hubs where you can upload up to 100 files, from PDFs and Word docs to web pages. Acrobat Studio’s AI assistant can summarize the content, provide citations, and answer questions with pre-populated prompts.

There are also customizable AI “assistants” too, like an analyst for insights, an instructor for explanations, and even an entertainer. Or you can create their own.

FYI, it’s currently limited to English-language docs and can’t handle video, handwritten notes, or password-protected files. Pricing starts at $25/month, with a 14-day trial.

Logoipsum

Logoipsum is the lorem ipsum of logos.

It’s a collection of clean, abstract, and versatile SVG logos built to temporarily fill design mockups, UI layouts, wireframes, and client presentations until the real thing arrives.

Just click to copy the SVG and paste it into Figma, Sketch, XD, or Illustrator or download it directly.
