Dear Google, you've burned me so many times after I've fallen in love with your products. I have experienced the cold sting of disappointment far too many times. When you abruptly discontinue services like Google Buzz and Google Reader, you leave me stranded with no reasonable alternatives. This pattern of abandonment has plagued our relationship, instilling in me a sense of apprehension each time you introduce a new product.

Do any of the "chat with your documents" type applications have Google Drive integration?

Because it's unlikely that Google will take away the API for Drive. But an experimental project like this could easily go up in a puff of red mist.

> Google: "Look, we're capable, but just beta-test this sh&t so we can make a product that will definitely overshadow our little contribution, okay? We need the product, we need the money. You'll get a nice little badge on your profile to signal your interest with your peers. This is open and responsible AI."

Respectfully, nobody gives a f&ck. The actual way you do it is at least publish a paper(or butchered code) or make the product accessible to all.(Or to a number of people that scales proportionally with your claims of greatness). You cannot do either of those? Well that smells of trying to be opportunistic, doesn't it? If i recall, OpenAI in it's infancy with the GPT* family at least published some papers (which Google also used to do, by the way), then they built upon that to eventually release a product. Yes the product was never free at the beginning nor very publicized, because it wasn't advertised to be the holy grail of anything. To sum up my opinion on this matter: you can never truly scale and innovate with >only releasing a lobotomized productonly releasing a paper with no visible applications<. You need a little balance between sparking interest and satisfying the hype you give about the product(if any).*
