They want to be the platform in which you tell what you want, and OAI does it for you. It's gonna connect to your inbox, calendar, payment methods, and you'll just ask it to do something and it will, using those apps.
This means OAI won't need ads. Just rev share.
They're looking like Facebook did with their phone project and later the metaverse - too big for their britches.

Phind is awesome. I often forget to use it until legacy search engines fail to surface what I’m looking for after a dozen searches. Phind usually finds it. That said, I used it a lot more a year ago. Lately I’ve been using regular LLMs since they’ve gotten better at searching.
Thanks for the feedback. I think that our main differentiator going forward will be this generative UI on the fly for answering questions as opposed to search alone.
I see a lot of negative comments here but to me, it was obvious this is where OAI should land. They want to be the platform in which you tell what you want, and OAI does it for you.

Ads are defenitely there. Just hidden so deeply in the black box which is generating the useful tips :)
It’s remarkable that will inevitably rush to build free apps that only reinforce OpenAI’s moat while cannibilizing their own opportunities.
In 2024, iOS App Store generated $1.3T in revenue, 85% of which went to developers.

If OpenAI thinks there’s sweet, sweet revenue in email and calendar apps, just waiting to be shared, their investors are in for a big surprise.
So it’s take 2 for Open AI’s App Store moment. But this time surfing Anthropic’s MCP wave. Smart interop.. or just chasing the cool kids?
