“Mei ask for a full dump of her data. Dot responds ‘Sorry, I can’t do that Dave, I mean Mei’”.

How do they intend to make money?
"After the untimely passing of her oil tycoon father, Mei finds herself with more money than she knows what to do with. Dot helpfully suggests transferring a few hundred thousand dollars to New Computer as a thank you for Dot's continued existence."
"Dot is, at its most simple, an app you chat with on iOS. You can send it words, voice memos, pictures, PDFs, and it’s thrilled to search the web for you, too. Communicating through written text (Dot’s voice is coming next year)" [0]. It looks quite "ambitious"[1]: - Automated File Management: Dot creates, organizes, and retrieves both structured and unstructured information. - Adaptive Intelligence: It learns from p…
I'm a bit perturbed by the, uh, inflation here. Looks like a product manager wishlist for a team of 1000 over 7 years

Not really. Putting this all together is ambitious but individually, they're all things that have been realized to some degree.
It would be very odd and transformative indeed to have this all coalesce and work.
But don't listen to me, I'm probably going to go all out on my pitch now too.
Something like this is most certainly going to become the mainstream interface for computing. I think the most likely thing that will hit mass market adoption will look much more like the voice interface in Her than a chat app. I couldn't imagine my mom getting much utility out of an app like this but if the AI is good enough I could certainly see her chatting with her phone as if it was a person.
Movies/tv shows voice interfaces work well because the environment and situations where it happens is 100% controlled and driven by plot. The real world is so much messier...
This is the most likely-to-be-Sherlocked[1] thing I've seen in a while. And when Apple does it, the processing will be done on-device. [1] https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sherlocked
This is the kind of thing where adoption and user mass matters a great deal. If thois is successful and apple are too slow to roll out something like this, don't expect a lot of users to "just switch" out of what they've invested a great deal of personal data and routine into. It'd have to be something even deeper, like OS level integration.
Which of course it will, since it’ll be part of Siri.
Edit: also, even if Apple shipped (hypothetically) the exact same product, they would still have a massive advantage by being able to ship it on every single device they sell. Even if Dot succeeds beyond its creators’ wildest dreams, it will still only capture a tiny fraction of the market compared to what Apple would if they shipped it with the OS.

Like ChatGPT, sure, but Pi uses internally developed, novel language models, not OpenAI's.
Not clear to me what their main differentiating factor is there. Seems a lot like chatgpt but without any name brand recognition. Experience wasn’t particularly helpful at helping me with problems.
