Ask Jeeves, the popular search engine where users could enter questions using natural language, launched on June 1, 1997. Nine years later, it was rebranded as Ask.com — and ever since, the number of users has declined with each passing year.

On Friday, the service shut down for a good — a move made necessary due to its inability to compete with new AI tools, according to Mashable.

“We are deeply grateful to the brilliant developers and designers who have built and supported Ask over the decades,” reads the final message on the now-defunct search site. “And to you — the millions of users who turned to us for answers in a rapidly changing world — thank you for your endless curiosity, your loyalty, and your trust. The spirit of Jeeves will live on.”
