Doesn't (a) fall into the bucket of UI, i.e., something that can be easily copied?

Agreed on (b) - I think this is anyone's best shot at a moat.

Curious to see how (c) evolves. It's unclear to me whether the future of these things are running locally or whether we'll all continue hitting remote APIs

I don't think (a) is a pure UI thing.

Think of the difference of using a single-user application to e.g. make mockups for websites or a collaborative environment like figma, in which you happen to also be able to have AI collaborate with you. Very different usecases and solving collaboration workflows, etc. is non trivial.

I guess for (c) both things will exist. Local will be done for 2 reasons: - data sovereignty (e.g. companies wanting to have applications that are purely trained/fine tuned on their own data; but that improvement is not shared) - privacy (anything from an AI having access to all your email and calendar up to having intimate "friendships" with AI)
