    Bing AI Mode starts a separate baseline. Copilot remains a separate public engine and keeps its history; changes across the switch are not like-for-like growth.

    How AI engines see them

    Recognized by 4 of 4 measured engines. Updated 2026-10-28

    All four engines recognize Zach Koch as the co-founder of Ultravox.ai, formerly Fixie.ai, and describe his push for speech-to-speech models over cascaded pipelines. Gemini adds that he later became VP of Product at Shopify, a detail the others do not state. Google AI Mode notes the acquisition by Inworld AI and his argument that Word Error Rate is a poor metric. Every engine names him, so none fails to identify the person. The pages cited most often come from ultravox.ai, followed by linkedin.com and geekwire.com.
