TL;DR:
- Google’s dominance in the search market is being challenged by AI-powered search engines like SearchGPT and Perplexity.
- Regulatory actions and the rise of AI search could impact Google’s market share.
- AI search engines offer new ways to find information, but Google’s infrastructure and user base remain strong.
In the world of technology, few companies have achieved the level of dominance that Google has in the search market. The phrase “just Google it” has become synonymous with searching for information online. However, recent developments suggest that Google’s reign might be under threat. New AI-powered search engines like SearchGPT and Perplexity are emerging, and regulatory actions are challenging Google’s monopoly. Could these changes be enough to disrupt Google’s stronghold on search and search advertising?
The Rise of AI Search Engines
Google has been the undisputed king of search for over two decades. With over 90% of the search market, Google’s success is not just due to its product but also the strategic partnerships it has formed over the years. Google Search is the default search engine on most browsers, including Safari. However, both these aspects are now under threat.
“The regulatory actions will definitely impact those partnerships that Google has created and will shrink the market share,” says Roshat Adnani, managing director APAC at M&C Saatchi Performance. “However, a significant impact might happen because of the challenges faced at the product level. Open AI has changed consumer behaviour through ChatGPT, and SearchGPT might also have the potential to disrupt consumers’ search behaviour. There will be more AI-powered solutions that will continue to threaten Google.”
The Impact of Antitrust Rulings
Although Google was found guilty of antitrust violations, the full implications of this landmark decision are yet to be declared. Google has stated that it will appeal the verdict, and it’s unclear what the enforced remedies will be. The impact will differ based on how severe the required steps are.
“While the ruling may create some opportunities for competitors, I am not optimistic that they will develop a compelling enough alternative to significantly shift user preferences,” says Andrew Desmond, senior paid media director at Jellyfish. “Even if they do, they won’t just be competing against Google’s search product, they’ll be battling user inertia, which is a much tougher challenge. Until Google is no longer the default—whether by user choice or due to changes in contractual agreements with their various partners—they will continue to dominate.”
The Potential of AI Search
While Google may currently have a stronghold on the search market and search advertising, the rise of AI search is a growing threat. The speed at which OpenAI’s ChatGPT became mainstream demonstrates the potential of AI to disrupt the established order.
“Generative AI is revolutionising the search industry,” says Jim Yu, founder and executive chair of BrightEdge. “The emergence of AI-driven search engines was the first step towards opening up the search landscape to new entrants with the potential to disrupt Google’s stronghold, and now the antitrust ruling can serve as an accelerator.”
There is potential for newcomers like Perplexity and SearchGPT to break through to consumers. “The growth of AI search is indeed exciting and could potentially compete with Google, especially if it can solve some of the challenges we face with Google’s search engine,” says Arun Kumar, director of activation and experience, APAC, Assembly. “For instance, SearchGPT aims to prioritise high-performing, relevant content over a cluttered environment of advertisements, snippets, and untrustworthy SEO-optimised or AI-generated content, to establish a new standard for search technology.”
Google’s Response to AI Competition
Mindful of the competition in the AI search space, Google has already made moves to reinforce its position as the search leader by launching AI Overviews. An advanced search facility powered by generative AI, it combines multi-step reasoning, planning, and multimodality with Google’s best-in-class search systems. But will AI Overviews be enough for Google to maintain its market leader position and steer off the competition?
“We expect new entrants who are able to garner market share to co-exist with Google,” says Yu. “In order to do so, other AI-native engines will need to offer a better product or differentiate for specific use-cases, which we are starting to see with the SearchGPT prototype.”
In contrast to standard search engines that barrage you with links, SearchGPT provides straightforward, conversational responses supported by real-time data. The goal is to improve the speed, accuracy, and appeal of finding information. At the moment, SearchGPT is in the prototype stage and accessible to a select few testers. Both SearchGPT and Perplexity have a greater opportunity to compete with Google in the search landscape, but that will likely come through integrations.
“For instance, I expect that few users will go directly to SearchGPT anytime soon, but utilising Copilot on Bing (powered by OpenAI) could grow the chatbot’s market share more quickly than a standalone product,” says Eric Hoover, SEO director at Jellyfish.
The Main Obstacles for AI Search Engines
The main obstacles for AI search engines are accuracy and the potential spread of misinformation, meaning marketers and users must stay alert about the content they rely on. “We might see a future where different tools cater to different needs. For example, search engines used for general queries and AI-powered tools used for more intricate conversational searches,” says Adnani.
While both SearchGPT and Perplexity are strong contenders in the AI search category, Google still has the advantage of data, infrastructure, resources, and experience. “Google’s seamless integration across its services, like Gmail and Maps, sets a high standard for user experience and convenience that is hard to match,” adds Adnani. “Google is also actively investing in AI to improve its search capabilities. Thus, it is difficult to rule out Google.”
Google’s Dominance in Search Advertising
Google has built an integrated ad ecosystem—including Google Ads, YouTube, and the Google Display Network—which offers advertisers a comprehensive platform for reaching target audiences through an omnichannel approach. As to the Justice Department lawsuit, Google currently holds a dominant 70% share of the internet search ad industry and is estimated to have 39% of the global digital ad market. This means that it has a larger market share than its nearest competitor, Meta, and the combined market share of the next eight competitors.
It’s still early days, but as new entrants gain traction, we might see advertisers beginning to diversify ad spend across engines to better reach different audience segments. “We may also see competition drive innovation in ad formats and models,” says Yu. “Think more interactive ads, AI-driven personalisation, or new performance metrics, challenging Google’s current offerings.”
We’re also likely to see companies taking advantage of generative AI in new ways and expect to see a wave of innovations coming to search. “For example, the latest voice chat capabilities from OpenAI are very impressive and could lead to a completely new way of voice-activated searching,” adds Yu. “Similar to when the iPhone launched, it was impossible to predict that Uber may one day exist. The sky’s the limit as to what new ad formats might come from generative AI search.”
The Future of Search Advertising
However, for the foreseeable future, Google will continue to dominate search advertising. Google’s well-established infrastructure, devoted customer base, and superior product continue to pose serious obstacles for new competitors, even in the face of the growing popularity of AI search and possible competition from services like SearchGPT and Perplexity. Furthermore, Google is expected to monetise AI search results through shopping listings and sponsored adverts in the future, further solidifying its lead in search advertising even if AI search will become more common.
“While there may be some incremental changes due to the antitrust ruling or the development of AI search, a major shift in search dynamics or a significant increase in competitor market share in the near term is unlikely,” says Hoover. “Therefore, marketers should remain focused on optimising their strategies for Google as it will continue to be the primary platform for search advertising. Any substantial changes are more likely to occur after a final settlement from Google’s appeal, which could be years away.”

TL;DR — What You Need to Know:
- Gemini’s new feature allows you to easily upload and modify both AI-generated and personal images, giving users full control over their creative projects.
- You can change backgrounds, replace objects, or add new elements, making the app even more versatile for personal and professional use.
- All images, whether generated or edited, will feature an invisible SynthID watermark, with plans to experiment with visible watermarks for extra security.
Gemini’s New Image Editing Feature: What’s New?
Gemini is stepping up its creative capabilities with a game-changing update that brings AI-powered image editing directly to your fingertips. With this new feature, the Gemini app allows you to upload your own photos and images, then tweak them with ease. Whether you’re experimenting with a new hair colour or replacing an object in your photo, the intuitive editing tools make the process straightforward, even for those with minimal design experience.
Unleash Creativity with AI-Generated Images
But it doesn’t stop at just simple editing. The app also integrates AI generation with images, meaning you can create dynamic, context-driven visuals based on your prompts. Imagine uploading a family photo and having Gemini generate an image of what it would look like with a magical, fantasy backdrop or altered colours. You can even take it a step further by having Gemini create a first draft of a bedtime story about dragons while automatically generating accompanying images to go along with the tale.
Seamless Integration: Image Editing Meets Text Prompts
This level of integration between image creation and text-based prompts unlocks endless creative possibilities, giving you a powerful tool for storytelling, marketing, and digital projects. Plus, it’s all contained within one seamless app, which is a huge bonus for anyone looking to streamline their workflow.
Protecting Your Creative Work with Watermarks
Consistency in image generation is key, and that’s where Gemini’s SynthID watermark comes in. Both generated and edited images now carry an invisible watermark, providing peace of mind for creators who want to retain control over their work. In the coming weeks, Gemini will also begin testing a visible watermark on all images, offering an additional layer of transparency for image attribution and copyright purposes.
Expanding Access to More Creators Worldwide
As Gemini’s native image editing feature rolls out globally, more creators will have access to this highly adaptable tool in over 45 languages, giving rise to a wave of innovative content. With the power to upload, modify, and create from scratch, Gemini is reshaping how we think about digital image manipulation.

Playbook: How to Use Ideogram.ai (no design skills required!)
Turn text into stunning visuals with Ideogram.ai. This no-jargon guide shows you how to create AI logos, posters, memes, and merch—even as a total beginner.
Published
2 weeks agoon
April 24, 2025By
AIinAsia
Part of our Prompt and Play series, this article brings AI image magic for anyone who’s ever wished they could turn words into posters, logos, merch, memes—and more.
Whether you’re a total beginner, a brand builder, a creator with too many ideas, or just AI-curious, this guide will help you get the best out of Ideogram.ai—one of the easiest and most fun tools to explore visual creativity through text prompts.
No jargon. No prior experience needed. Just ideas, a keyboard, and a pinch of prompt magic.
1. What is Ideogram.ai – and Why Should You Care?
Ideogram.ai is a free, browser-based tool that turns text prompts into striking images, with one major advantage: it’s actually good at rendering text. That means you can generate logos, signs, posters, and packaging mockups that don’t end up looking like alphabet soup.
You’ve probably seen other AI art tools struggle with spelling—Ideogram has made this its superpower.
What it’s great for:
- Logos and branding mockups
- Posters, merch and marketing visuals
- Social content and memes
- Lettering-based art (neon signs, graffiti, retro fonts, etc.)
The tool’s simple interface, community sharing features, and easy remixing make it one of the most user-friendly creative playgrounds out there—especially if you’re just getting started with AI-generated design.
2. Start Here: Your First 5-Minute Prompt Test Drive
Here’s a super-simple way to get your first result in under 5 minutes:
Try this prompt:
“Logo that says: COFFEE CLUB, in bold black letters, on a white background, minimalist design”
You’ll instantly get 4 images. If you like one, great—download it or remix it. If it’s not quite right, click “Remix” and adjust your words slightly.

Quick win tips:
- Use “that says:” or “with the text:” for best results when adding words.
- Keep your first prompt clear and simple—no need to overcomplicate.
- If you’re not getting readable text, try rephrasing slightly or switching to a simpler style (e.g. “modern logo design” or “minimalist”).
3. Prompt Craft: The Secret Sauce to Better Images
Prompt Formula (use this as your go-to starting point):
[Subject or Object] with [Key Attribute or Message], in [Visual Style or Medium], featuring [Text or Colours], on [Background or Scene].
→ Then adjust based on the output.
Example:
“Festival poster that says: LUNAR VIBES 2025, colourful retro style, glowing neon lights, black background”

🔍 What to know:
- Text prompting is Ideogram’s strength, so be specific:
“Poster with the text: SALE NOW ON” works better than “Sale poster.” - You can give style guidance like “hand-drawn,” “graffiti,” “pixel art,” or “minimalist.”
- Weights and modifiers like
::
are not required—but useful for advanced users.
(e.g. “Cyberpunk city::2, blue tone::1.5, background::0.5”)
❌ Common mistakes:
- Prompting like ChatGPT (“Create a logo for my business…”)—just say what you want!
- Overloading the prompt with too many styles or requests
- Forgetting to use “that says:” when including readable text
4. The Toolbench: Features You Should Actually Use
Let’s break down what matters on-screen:
🎛️ Style Presets
These buttons help nudge your image toward a certain vibe:
- Typography – Great for bold, clean logo text
- Poster Art – Ideal for stylised messaging (events, campaigns, activism)
- 3D Render – Good for packaging mockups
- Illustration / Painting / Pixel Art – Best for storytelling and creative play
🧪 Tip: Style buttons affect how your prompt is interpreted, so try toggling different ones with the same prompt.
🔄 Remix vs Variations
- Remix = Keeps your image but lets you rewrite or tweak the prompt to guide a new version
- Variations = Auto-generates 4 similar images with slight changes (useful if you’re almost there)
✏️ Editing an Existing Creation
Want to change the text, colours, or layout of something you made earlier?
Here’s how to do it:
- Open the image you want to adjust.
- Click “Remix” – this pulls in your original prompt.
- Change only the part you want to improve (e.g. “black background” → “yellow background”; “SALE NOW ON” → “LAST CHANCE!”).
- Click “Generate” to see your updated versions.

This is the fastest way to iterate on a design without starting from scratch. You can do this with your own images or images shared by others (if remixing is enabled).
👥 5. Power Users: How Marketers Can Get the Most Out of Ideogram
If you’re running campaigns, building content calendars, or just trying to stay ahead of your social media schedule—Ideogram is a shortcut to visual ideas that don’t need a designer (yet).
Here’s how marketers can make it work:
📌 What to use it for:
- Social media graphics with promo text
- Bold callouts for paid ads
- Poster-style teaser images for events or launches
- Typography-led Instagram posts
- Quick campaign mockups (try a few visual routes before briefing design)
🧠 Prompt Ideas for Marketers:
“Poster that says: 50% OFF THIS WEEKEND ONLY, minimalist black text, red background”

As you can see here, even Ideogram isn’t infallible when it comes to text — in the first image, WEEKKEND is spelled incorrectly (so you could use the ‘Remix’ feature above to rerun this)/
✅ Bonus tip:
Use Ideogram for MVP branding—logos, taglines, colour combos—for new campaigns, sub-brands or event assets. You can test 5 looks in 5 minutes and get stakeholder feedback before the designer even opens Figma.
👥 6. Power Users Continued: Creators, SMBs, Educators
🎨 For Creators & Designers
Whether you’re a digital artist, YouTuber, podcaster, or print-on-demand dabbler, Ideogram is a playground for creative iteration.
Use it for:
- Album covers, podcast art, YouTube thumbnails
- T-shirt mockups or sticker designs
- Personal logos, avatars, banners
- Aesthetic moodboards or typography-led artwork
Prompt ideas:
“T-shirt design that says: Trust the Process, 70s retro style, bold colours”

“Podcast cover art for: The Digital Drift, glitchcore style, purple and black, clean typography”
💡 Tip: Try variations to explore visual “takes” on a concept. It’s like getting multiple drafts for free.


🛒 For Small Business Owners & Entrepreneurs
You don’t need to be a designer to make your brand look like one. Ideogram gives you fast, low-effort visuals to test and showcase your business.
Use it for:
- Logos, flyers, business cards, promo posts
- Etsy or Shopee store banners
- Popup event posters or in-store signage
- Social content with callouts or quotes
Prompt ideas:
“Logo for: Bean & Co Coffee Bar, minimalist black on white, modern serif font”

“Flyer that says: Pop-up This Saturday, 11am–6pm, local art and food, vibrant colours, community vibe”

Or use together:
“Logo for: Bean & Co Coffee Bar, minimalist black on white, modern serif font” “Flyer that says: Pop-up This Saturday, 11am–6pm, local art and food, vibrant colours, community vibe”

📦 Tip: Pair with Canva or a print service to turn your images into usable templates or assets.
📚 For Educators & Students
Great for classroom projects, quick visual storytelling, or just making your slides way more interesting.
Use it for:
- Posters, infographics, classroom signage
- Book or film “cover” assignments
- Slide visuals or explainer imagery
- AI storytelling or creative writing pair-ups
Prompt ideas:
“Poster that says: Save the Rainforest, student project, bright and bold, friendly cartoon style”

“Visual story: The Robot Who Wanted to Be a Painter, digital illustration, children’s book style”

📖 Tip: Students love remixing each other’s prompts—great for creative iteration in a classroom setting.
🧪 7. Experiment Lab: Fun Prompt Challenges to Try
Kickstart your creativity with these mini challenges:
🧢 “Design a t-shirt for your dog’s startup”
→ Prompt: “Logo that says: BarkTech, playful dog tech startup, futuristic blue and green”
🎬 “Make a movie poster for a film that doesn’t exist”
→ Prompt: “Movie poster for: Moonlight Over Osaka, noir romance, neon style, rain background”
🎤 “Create an album cover based on your mood right now”
→ Prompt: “Album cover for: Calm Chaos, ambient music, blue waves and soft light”
💡 These can be great warm-ups before serious projects—or just a way to explore visual directions without pressure.
🧙♂️ 8. Pro Tips & Prompt Magic
Here’s where things get spicy. A few insider moves to level up your Ideogram game:
🔤 Better Text Results
- Always use “that says:” or “with the text:” to guide readable copy
- Avoid long sentences—short phrases and bold text work best
- Use quotes sparingly (e.g.
that says: “Be Kind”
) for cleaner rendering
⚖️ Prompt Balance
- Keep a clear subject and mood—don’t overload with style mashups
- Use fewer modifiers to control clutter
(“clean” > “vintage + neon + graffiti + smoke + metallic”)
🙅 Negative Prompts That Work
Add to your prompt:
- “no blur”
- “no watermark”
- “no extra text”
- “plain background”
♻️ Remix vs Starting Over
- Use Remix to refine one idea quickly
- Start fresh if your original prompt is too muddled—simpler is often better
🗃️ Build Your Prompt Library
Keep a notes doc or Notion page of prompts you like.
Label them: “Event Poster,” “Logo Style 1,” “Inspirational Quote Card,” etc.
Reuse and tweak them like ingredients in your own creative kitchen.
💾 9. Save, Share & Remix Like a Pro
✅ Saving Images
Click the image, then use the download button for the highest resolution.
Want it background-free? Use a background remover (e.g. remove.bg) for logos or stickers.
🔄 Remixing Others
Browse the Explore tab to see what others are making.
Click Remix on anything that inspires you—it brings in the prompt, so you can tweak and build on it.
✨ Always credit or shout out creators if you use their prompt as a starting point.
📁 Build a Brand Set
Make 4–5 versions of your logo in different styles (e.g. minimalist, vintage, bold).
Use them across socials, packaging, site banners.
This works especially well for side hustlers or new ventures.
⚖️ 10. Where It Shines vs Where It Struggles
Strengths | Watch-outs |
---|---|
Amazing at text in image | Not built for photorealism |
Fast and user-friendly | Complex scenes can get cluttered |
Great for branding, posters, signage | People or detailed realism? Use Midjourney instead |
Easy Remix and Community culture | Limited control vs pro tools like Photoshop |
🚀 Final Thought: Why Ideogram Deserves a Spot in Your AI Toolkit

Can AI Videos Really Boost Your Brand’s Authenticity?
AI-generated videos are reshaping brand authenticity and trust among audiences. Discover actionable insights: 2025 AI Sentiment Report.

- Brands must transparently disclose their use of AI to enhance trust.
- High-quality, personalised content blending AI with human creativity is critical for engagement.
How Brands In Asia Can Navigate Trust, Transparency, and Creativity Through AI-generated Video Content
Picture this: your favourite brand releases an amazing video campaign that grabs your attention, moves you, and makes you want to share it instantly. Now imagine learning that this compelling video wasn’t crafted by humans alone—it was produced using AI. Would your trust in that brand suddenly plummet, or would you see it as innovative?
The answer might surprise you. A recent global survey of 2,385 consumers has shown a fascinating shift: the majority not only accept but actively embrace AI-generated videos.
Let’s dig into what this means for brands across Asia, and how you can harness AI video to boost creativity, authenticity, and consumer trust.
The AI video landscape: a quick snapshot
Video has become the lifeblood of digital communication. In 2023 alone, over three billion people worldwide engaged with video content, solidifying its role as the content king. Today, 86% of businesses rely on video marketing, and the data tells us why: 90% of consumers confirm that videos significantly influence their purchasing decisions.
As the appetite for engaging, relevant video content grows, brands face the challenge of creating high-quality videos swiftly and affordably. Enter AI-generated videos—a game-changer that promises efficiency, creativity, and scale. But is the audience on board?

- 89.1% said AI doesn’t negatively impact brand perception.

- Smaller brands now have a chance to compete creatively with big-budget campaigns, levelling the playing field significantly.
3. Transparency isn’t optional
- 75.6% consider transparency about AI usage essential.
- Audiences prefer clear labels/icons (59.4%), descriptions (25.5%), or social hashtags (13.7%) to indicate AI-generated content.
4. Human creativity still matters—a lot
- A striking 85.5% of respondents react positively when human involvement complements AI-produced videos.
- Brands that blend AI efficiency with human touch achieve stronger engagement and mitigate authenticity concerns.
5. Quality directly impacts trust

6. Social media leads, but don’t neglect other platforms

- Tutorials (31.1%), product demos (30.4%), and even customer support (27.3%) show AI video’s remarkable versatility.
7. Personalised content drives deeper engagement
- 52.2% engage more with high-quality videos, while 25.1% prefer personalised content.
- This highlights the need for strategic targeting and tailored storytelling for Asian consumers, who value relevance highly.
Actionable roadmap for Asian brands: combining AI with authenticity
The path forward is clear for Asian brands aiming to harness AI-generated video effectively:
- Prioritise transparency: Clearly label AI-generated content using recognisable icons or descriptions. Consumers value openness—so shout it loud and clear.
- Invest in quality: Use advanced AI video tools to produce professional, lifelike, and compelling content. Your audience expects—and rewards—excellence.
- Blend AI and human creativity: Don’t rely on AI alone. Human storytelling enriches AI-generated content, creating videos that resonate emotionally with viewers.
- Choose your channels wisely: Deploy AI videos strategically on social media, tutorials, product demos, and customer interactions. Meet your audience where they feel comfortable engaging.
- Personalise, personalise, personalise: Craft targeted messages that reflect your audience’s interests, values, and cultural contexts. Especially in diverse Asian markets, personalised content ensures deeper connections.
Final thoughts: Is AI the future of video marketing in Asia?
Absolutely. AI video isn’t just a flashy tech trend—it’s rapidly becoming essential to effective digital storytelling. Asian brands have an exciting opportunity to lead in this area by balancing innovation with transparency and authenticity.
As AI continues to evolve, expect more immersive, interactive experiences that redefine consumer engagement. Embrace this evolution now, and you’ll set your brand up not just to meet—but exceed—consumer expectations.
