Didn't expect this take on the subject, but you're spot on. Google's distribtuion strategy is formidable. It's truly dificult for anyone to compete with their data access and scale for model training.
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.
Do you think that, following last week’s corporate announcement on restructuring, that Open AI and/or Microsoft may be seeking AI alliances?
I think most everyone is in deal-making mode right now.
