Maybe niche for girlfriends/boyfriends but I would imagine there will be a big market for personal assistants. Imagine an assistant that knows your preferences, your schedule, your family details, your task list and has the ability to act on your behalf. Online order my food for the week knowing I have people coming on Friday, maybe ask a few questions for clarification, order a present for my wife knowing what I have previously bought her and what she did and didn't like, notice that my favorite band is coming to my city and ask do I want tickets, find the cheapest insurance when my renewal is up and pay it, notice that my gas bill is unusally high look for cheaper providers. The list is endless and whoever is first in that space with a reliable product will be a trillion dollar company.

To me personally that sounds like the setting for a horror flick. Actually it almost reminds me of M3GAN. [1] Fun movie, but I do not want to experience that. That is even before treading into the possibilities of remote hacking, monitoring, manipulation, stalking, etc...

  Or the show "The One," the movie "The Circle" and endless dystopian movies and TV shows about tech knowing all things leading to personal ruin

A good chunk of that trillion dollars would be spent fighting lawsuits. These issues are not the usual working out of bugs in technology. We're hitting a point where decisions are undecidable. It's not the tech, but the opinions about it and usage of it.
