AI
- One would complete complex tasks on your device like creating a spreadsheet from a document of information or filling out your tax forms.
- The second agent would take on web-based tasks like curating data from different sites (similar to Perplexity or Arc Browser), booking flights and hotels, or even building travel itineraries.
- The Reports section provides insights into how users engage with your websites and apps so you can improve your product and user experience.
- The Advertising section will become the hub to monitor and analyze your campaigns whether you’re a publisher or an advertiser.
SEO approach for blog content from David CH of SaaSPad.co (YouTube link):
Write like ChatGPT
Not style or tone, but format.

it’s teaming up with OpenAI to add the startup’s technology to iOS 18, the next version of the iPhone’s software
Sounds like OpenAI won the gig (Google always felt like a weird choice based on platform competition and default search payola scrutiny).
Now Apple gets to enter the consumer AI fray and establish a connection with its hardware platform while continuing to develop its edge differentiation and outsourcing hallucinatory reputational risk to someone else.
A year ago, Google said that it believed AI was the future of search. That future is apparently here: Google is starting to roll out “AI Overviews,” previously known as the Search Generative Experience, or SGE, to users in the US and soon around the world. Pretty soon, billions of Google users will see an AI-generated summary at the top of many of their search results.

The groundwork has been laid, AI could be the accelerant.

Competition from OpenAI: Develops Web Search Product in Challenge to Google
Arc Search getting buzz (I’ve used it & can easily see this being a glimpse of search’s future)
This mission “for the benefit of humanity” is incomprehensible. It’s like “don’t be evil” or “zombie flam brittlewurst,” which is a phrase I’ve just made up literally on the spot. It doesn’t make any sense. It’s impossible to run an organization against that because it’s not measurable.
There’s messaging that sounds good.
And there’s messaging that has substance.
The goal is the intersection.
A well-crafted message with meaning that is memorable for the audience it’s written for.
Chatbots are hot like Hansel (again)
ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok, is working on an open platform that will allow users to create their own chatbots, as the company races to catch up in generative artificial intelligence (AI) amid fierce competition that kicked off with last year’s launch of ChatGPT.
The “bot development platform” will be launched as a public beta by the end of the month
