If you haven't see it already, there's Rabbit r1[0] which takes the "in the future there wouldn't be individual apps" approach and on the other hand OpenAI seems to adopt the "in the future, we will host all the apps" approach.

I'm curious who will win this one but IMHO there's a value in having an individual well defined app even though I previously argued that in the future there wouldn't be individual apps. The value, I think, is that having an object with a statement gives you a spark of ideas and trust through branding. The branding part might be the "killer app", if you think about it we are and we live among biological neural networks who are about capable the same but then we go around and specialise in things and then seek individual personas since we don't have a way to measure the quality of the output in advance.

The rabbit r1 looks like straight up vaporware. Not saying GPTs are any better, but I don’t think making a fancy product page entitles anyone to fight against OpenAI in some sort of ideological battle over the future of AI’s user experience.

Currently neither look appealing from a 3rd party devs perspective. There needs to be the right incentive structure otherwise why would anyone bother? This was they key to the app stores success.

I want a thing like the rabbit, but it is with open source hardware and software. I might even be open to having ambient listening if I could host all the data.
