Welp this is what happens when the USA is spending more into this than it did in the space race comparatively. Space race we got to the moon, the AI output has yet to show profit from businesses other than funding the input.

I had the same reaction. They've had Raycast releases paused for some time to focus on large feature improvements, but I wondered if it was partly for this.

the first scenario that came to mind is that they built it for themselves and then open sourced it
This seems a natural evolution of Raycast Extensions (which are an evolution of Script Commands) - given the current landscape (generative everything). I would be surprised if there’s no “Raycast inside” within and around the new toolchain.
I’m torn about what this likely means for iOS; while I do want to do Raycast-y things in my phone, I’m not sure there’s enough of us to make a business out of it.
