My first thought was: Good on him, that's solid revenue.

My second thought was: This sounds like another idea that could easily be killed off by Google or similar companies, if they just add a "this is googlebert, your personalized analysis robot - just link your website/upload docs and ask away!" function.

Or this kind of functionality simply becomes part of the batteries included package for ChatGPT etc.

It probably will get killed off, but this kid will have a nice fat wallet by then. Good for him!
He could raise and try to grow it across company docs - Slack, Jira, Gmail, other docs. That's something Google won't do well that would be incredibly valuable for lots of companies.

No way is being subsumed the only outcome.

Great, but let him fail on that learn and build something else or try to defend.

These kind of predictions are pointless IMO. Just look at how many products Google killed because there is no mass audience for it. Not even talking about Google+

Are there any ideas out there that could not be easily overtaken by Google or similar?
