Battle of the Bots: Who Will Rule Your Pocket?
As AI assistants become increasingly integrated into our daily workflows, the battle for dominance is heating up. Some argue that a robust mobile OS and hardware strategy is essential for long-term success—ensuring seamless user experience, ecosystem control, and deep AI optimization. Others believe that cloud-based intelligence will ultimately win, making hardware less critical.
What do you think? Is a mobile OS/hardware strategy the key to winning the AI assistant wars? Cast your vote and share your insights below!
I've been fascinated with Satya's comment around SaaS applications collapsing in the AI era. I think our phones will have their essential capabilities built-in but will mainly serve as connectors to a virtual cloud device for everything else.
