There's no evidence at all to suggest that this kind of modular, Yahoo Pipes-style website is coming, AI powered or not.

What the author talks about is similar to what Blackberry and Microsoft tried to do on their mobile OSes, which was bringing in all your messages into a single hub. It failed because it relied on the OEM updating the app each time the Facebook Messenger or Gchat API changes broke functionality. Those companies have no incentive to make things easier for Windows Phone users.

The author is suggesting the same, but for all web content. This may be technically feasible, but it won't happen because commercial websites do not want their content piped to a third party with no attribution or ad impressions.

This would be the very first objection a VC would have if you went to them to fund such a thing.
