This touches an important debate on user interfaces. Chat/human language based AI vs GUI augmented AI. OpenAI started with chat based AI but have since then realized "text only" doesn’t scale for serious business needs. We see openAI pivoting towards richer interfaces like "Canvas" that offers richer editing interface (GUI) with AI as an embedded collaborator. There’s even news floating around that OpenAI is building a Google Docs / Microsoft Word competitor. Now, take Microsoft. Microsoft owns some of the most serious business products ever like Office Suite. Microsoft however is working back towards a chatbot experience to an extent that they’ve even renamed their entire online office suite as Microsoft Co-pilot 365 - which makes little sense as a name for an office suite :) But the bigger question is which approach is right? Maybe there isn’t a single right approach. Maybe that’s why Google is being Google and travelling both ways. They’re building Gemini, Gemini Canvas as well as already owning an office suite and working towards integrating AI capabilities into their office editors. We are living in interesting times!
