Apple doesn’t own a search engine either, and gets $20B per year from Google to direct search queries to them.
I hope they adopt the same model with AI - leverage whatever frontier model is best and provide their own privacy infrastructure in front.
At some point Apple will figure out a way to provide the right info from your calendar, messages, email etc as context and couple this with a bunch of secure tools for creating calendar entries, etc. Agentic AI will then be something I personally benefit from.
The search arrangement was deemed to be an illegal monopoly
