#4I'm really intrigued by the idea of something like this as a desktop OS. I tend to dump files into one location and use search to pull up what I need, rather than a predetermined structure, and this seems like a good fit for me.

#5Something 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.

#6I worked on a project like this. The biggest challenge we had was finding ux patterns that keep returning the user to interact with the app and fill context gaps as it becomes convenient.

#9Their privacy policy lists OpenAI as one of their partners for data processing, which indicates that this is happening not on your device, and data is also shared with third parties.
For me this is the main counterargument against apps like these. I want to feel free to post any information into this without thinking about who may read or use it.
Local is the only way to go for software like this in my opinion.
