Google is finally connecting the dots.
The search giant has been playing catch up with OpenAi for a while now.
Finally it seems something is moving.
AI Mode won't save search.
User behaviour has already shifted and there's no going back.
However, Google still retain a massive ecosystem and network effect.
Think of Ai in:
Gmail + Google Sheets + Search + Android + Google Glass + Pixel Phone
and more.
This is the real power of Google. The power of connecting the dots. With Ai.
But it won't be easy.
Almost three years since GPT launched, a similar giant like Microsoft still hasn't found the way to connect its dots.
Think of:
Windows, Excel, PowerPoint, Bing (and a massive investment in OpenAI).
Copilot is sneaked somewhere in between all these tools, but raise a hand who is actively using it!
It seems users love GPT as a standalone app.
Myself included.
Turns out, AI is not just a feature, but a product in itself.
OpenAI might still be the winner of this crazy race after all.
