Thank you for sharing those market share statistics. I knew that google had a strong presence, but I don't think I was aware of the *degree* to which Google dominates across these categories.

I’ve set a reminder to come back to this one in two years … I’m very curious how products and competition evolve in the AI space.

I just recently switched from ChatGPT to Claude. There are several guides about how to migrate as thoroughly as possible, and it was a bit of a time suck. I tried to transfer as much of my memory, projects, and custom prompts as possible, but I still have this lingering feeling that Claude doesn’t “know me as well.” ChatGPT knows me terrifyingly well.

And I’d think that DuckDuckGo (which I admire greatly, though embarrassingly don’t use) has a natural tension between serving its privacy-minded users while competing with products trying to suck up all the data of their users. Right now, I use Comet as my AI browser, Claude as my chatbot, Granola for transcription, and Matter for reading and highlighting. My fantasy is a single product that integrates all four — essentially a browser — but I know that would come with privacy trade-offs.

We should be able to create memory-like features in a privacy-protecting way through on-device processing. You seem to be an early-adopter power-user (me too) and so you might not be satisfied since we'll be a bit behind with some of the latest features, but on the flip side I hope will better nail the UX when we launch them.
