奥利维亚,欢迎。
0:05
>> 谢谢邀请我。
0:06
>> 这一年中最令人激动的时刻,
0:08
就是顶级100报告今天发布了,我想。
0:11
是这样吗?>> 是的。
0:12
>> 这是三年来的第六期。
0:15
跟我们说说什么没变,什么变了,
0:18
你有多兴奋,报告有什么新动向?
0:20
>> 是的,很多方面变化很大,
0:23
自从我们2023年首次发布这份名单以来,增长惊人。
0:25
另一方面,从宏观层面看,我们仍然处于非常早期阶段。
0:28
ChatGPT是迄今为止最大的全球AI产品,
0:32
但全球只有10%的人口每周活跃使用它。
0:36
所以未来还有很大发展空间。
0:41
我认为过去六个月可能是我最喜欢、最激动的时刻,
0:41
因为见证了许多变化。
0:43
其中之一是消费者竞争真正加剧了。
0:47
当然有ChatGPT,还有Gemini和Claude都在加倍下注,
0:51
针对它们各自的消费级和准专业用户。
0:54
我觉得我们开始看到这些平台可能随着时间累积优势。
0:59
这让谁获取最多用户成为一个特别重要且有趣的问题。
1:03
相关的是,这次我们首次纳入了非AI原生但已主导AI的产品,
1:06
例如Canva、Notion和Free Pick。
1:08
Notion甚至宣布他们现在认为一半的新ARR
1:12
来自于AI优先的功能,非常酷。
1:14
最后,我们看到AI在网站或应用提示框之外大幅扩展了,
1:17
例如新出现的各种浏览器,
1:20
像DIA、Comet、Atlas。
1:22
Claude也进入了Excel、PowerPoint和Chrome。
1:25
还有桌面应用如Cursor、Whisper Flow、Granola。
1:29
AI的使用方式呈现出令人兴奋的爆发式增长。
1:32
真是太令人兴奋了。
1:36
这里内容很多要说。
1:39
先从大型基础模型说起吧。
1:43
你能谈谈你认为Gemini和Claude各自的专长领域吗?
1:45
当然,还有ChatGPT,
1:48
因为这更像是一个整体上扬的故事,
1:53
而不是这些模型互相替代。
1:56
是的,我同意。
1:58
尽管上周发生了一些戏剧性事件,
1:59
例如Katy Perry在Twitter上站队品牌之间的争论,
2:00
这事我之前从没料到,
2:02
但从根本上看,ChatGPT仍是明显的赢家。
2:04
在网页端,它的用户是Gemini的2.7倍。
2:07
移动端则是Gemini的2.5倍。
2:08
尽管Twitter上的技术争论频繁,
2:11
ChatGPT网页端用户几乎是Claude的30倍,
2:13
移动端更是Claude的80倍。
2:14
我们看到Sam Altman当时的推文,
2:17
是在超级碗广告大战时期。
2:21
就是那个德州推文。
2:24
是的,他说,德州使用免费版本ChatGPT的人比Claude的全球用户还多,
2:27
这是真的。
2:29
不过,我认为我们看到的趋势是,
2:33
“分歧”也许不是准确词汇,
2:37
但用户使用的产品种类和用途都在扩展,
2:41
市场份额略有变化。
2:45
Claude特别加倍押注准专业用户,
2:47
推出了协同办公、Claude代码,
2:49
以及与Excel、PowerPoint集成。
2:51
如果你看看Claude和ChatGPT的应用商店,
2:52
它们各自都有200多个应用,
2:56
但交集只有11%。
2:58
Claude专注于高端数据源、研究工具、科学和金融数据,
3:00
而ChatGPT更专注消费市场,旅行、营养、消费金融等。
3:04
Gemini则在自己的小领域耕耘,
3:06
主要通过创意工具获得用户和收入增长。
3:10
活跃用户和付费用户几乎与YO3、Nano Banana One、Nano Banana Pro、Nano Banana Two的发布节奏完全同步。
3:13
它们也在准专业用户领域稍作尝试,
3:15
把AI整合到Gmail、Sheets、Calendar中,
3:19
但这些都是现有产品的升级,
3:21
而非全新体验。
3:23
- 我们不如深入聊聊应用商店动态,
3:25
这真是太有趣了。
3:28
你能说说ChatGPT的应用目录的利好吗?
3:30
- 当然可以。
3:32
我看到ChatGPT采取的策略,Sam本人也在Twitter说过,
3:34
就是他们要做“人人皆可用的AI”,
3:37
意味着他们想吸引所有消费者,
3:39
并通过不同方式赚钱。
3:41
Claude则明确了只通过订阅模式盈利,
3:44
这对能付费的用户和企业很好,
3:46
但不是所有人都适合。
3:50
你也能从它们倾向于有偿的高价值订阅插件看出来,
3:52
这些插件多是专业的数据和服务工具。
3:53
- 类似实验室工具。
3:55
- 是的,比如PitchBook,投资人、科学家、数学家会用的工具。
3:58
ChatGPT则更像Google的方式,
4:02
构建普通人愿意用的产品。
4:06
可能转化成订阅用户比例较低,
4:11
但他们能通过广告赚钱,
4:13
也可能通过交易抽成。
4:15
比如如果他们成为预订旅行或各种长尾消费的入口,
4:17
按理说能从中分成,至少是其引流部分。
4:20
所以这就是ChatGPT应用商店的牛市逻辑,
4:22
数据里还没显现,
4:25
但未来一两年会更明显。
4:26
- 真有趣,你刚才谈到报告里“复合优势”的观点,
4:28
也就是上下文效应的累积,
4:30
能详细说说这个概念吗?
4:32
你用什么指标作衡量,比如会话时长、会话次数,
4:34
还是输入数据量,或者其他?
4:37
- 这是个很激动人心的问题,
4:39
因为到目前为止,像ChatGPT、Claude、Gemini、Perplexity这些横向大模型,
4:40
我们一直活在一个上下文和记忆能被轻易导出的世界。
4:43
Claude最近还针对这个做了广告活动。
4:45
但我认为锁定效应会越来越强,
4:48
而且其实这很可能有利于那些更横向、更广泛的工具,比如ChatGPT,
4:50
原因有几方面。
4:54
第一,ChatGPT已经开始开发能让用户通过平台与他人互动的产品,
4:56
比如群聊,想象如果有个更成功的ChatGPT群聊版本,
4:57
你的所有朋友都在上面,
4:58
那当你想离开ChatGPT时,
5:00
你得说服他们都换到另一个产品去。
5:04
- 正是如此。
5:08
第二点,我觉得也类似苹果和谷歌的比较,
5:10
当这些应用商店成熟后,开发者很可能会将时间和精力集中在那些用户最多、
5:12
或者在某些情况下最愿意付费的平台上,
5:15
对于很多消费工具来说,决定因素往往是用户数量。
5:18
这也进一步利好ChatGPT。
5:20
今年我最期待的一点是,Sam Altman暗示的ChatGPT身份验证层,
5:23
也就是说你可以用ChatGPT账号登录,
5:26
携带你的记忆和令牌,
5:30
其他产品就能借此变得更强大、更贴心。
5:35
如果成真,你会希望自己的核心身份存留ChatGPT,
5:37
这样它可以帮助提升你使用其他工具的体验。
5:40
- 这是超级聪明的策略,
5:41
依托它们拥有9亿用户注册的优势,
5:44
第三方开发者理想状况下不用自己支付推理费用,
5:47
用户把推理能力带着走,
5:50
开发者受益,
5:52
ChatGPT获得锁定,
5:53
用户获得个性化,
5:56
一切完美配合。
5:58
- 是的,我完全同意。
6:00
唯一让我存疑的是,
6:02
这点可能对锁定效应正反两面都有影响,
6:04
就是你的工作场景,
6:06
你签的企业合同。
6:07
比如,从某种角度讲,
6:10
如果我公司工作用的是ChatGPT,
6:13
那我学会用它就有优势。
6:17
we've kind of lived in a world where the context
6:20
and the memory is somewhat easily exportable.
6:22
Like Claude ran a campaign around this recently.
6:25
But I think there's gonna be increasing lock-in
6:28
and I do think that probably actually benefits
6:30
the broader, more horizontal tools like Chatsheet BT
6:33
for a few reasons.
6:35
So I think one, we've already seen Chatsheet BT focus on
6:39
or start to build out products where you interact
6:42
with other people on them through the platform.
6:44
So the group chats, like imagine if you,
6:46
if there's an even more successful version
6:48
of Chatsheet BT group chats
6:50
and all of your friends are on there,
6:51
then if you wanted to turn from Chatsheet BT,
6:53
you'd also have to convince them all to go through another product.
6:56
- Exactly.
6:57
I would say the second one is kind of also
7:00
like an Apple Google comparison in that
7:02
as these app stores emerge, it is likely that developers
7:05
might start to concentrate their time and effort
7:08
in who they build for in the most sophisticated way,
7:12
who they ship to first, depending on who has the most users
7:16
or maybe in some cases who's the most willing to pay,
7:19
but for a lot of these consumer tools,
7:20
it'll be who has the most users.
7:22
So I think that also benefits Chatsheet BT.
7:25
And then the other thing probably that I'm most excited
7:27
for this year that Sam Altman had kind of hinted at
7:31
is this like authentication with Chatsheet BT layer.
7:34
So essentially you'd be able to log in
7:36
with your Chatsheet BT account
7:37
and take like your memory and your tokens with you.
7:42
And then that other product would be able to kind of borrow
7:45
those things to be even more powerful and helpful for you.
7:48
And if that's the case, then you're wanting
7:50
to have more of your core identity live on Chatsheet BT
7:54
because then it can lend it to these other tools
7:57
that are even better for you.
7:58
- It's so smart and it really plays to their advantages
8:01
in that they have signups for 900 million people.
8:05
And then the third party developer ideally
8:07
would not want to pay for the inference.
8:09
So the user can bring their inference capacity with them.
8:12
There's an advantage for the developer.
8:13
Chatsheet BT gets the lock in.
8:15
The user gets the benefit of personalization
8:17
and it all kind of works.
8:18
- Yes, I totally agree.
8:19
The one question mark I still have on this
8:21
that I think could play both positive and negative
8:24
in terms of increasing lock in for the consumer product
8:27
is what your work goes with,
8:30
like what your enterprise contract is.
8:33
So for example, in some ways, it's good for me
8:36
if we, if my company uses Chatsheet BT for work
8:40
because then I know how to use the product.
8:42
作为普通消费者,他们可能尝试过
8:44
一两款人工智能产品。
8:45
所以他们更可能觉得习惯
8:47
并继续使用他们已经用过的东西。
8:49
另一方面,有些人可能不想将身份
8:53
和记忆混合在个人和工作使用场景中。
8:56
- 说得对。
8:57
- 所以我很感兴趣。
8:58
我觉得OpenAI最近有暗示,
9:00
但我很想知道如何划分记忆
9:04
在你自己内部的不同角色之间,
9:08
使用这些产品。
9:09
- 不要混淆角色。
9:11
- 对,就是这样。
9:12
- 好吧,换个话题,
9:14
先聊聊Gemini。
9:15
你知道,我在想Google早期AI产品的整体感觉,
9:18
比如Bard,他们永远甩不掉的包袱。
9:21
- 那些时刻很出名。
9:24
- 现在我们看到像Nana Banana这样的产品,
9:25
甚至这个名字“Nana Banana”
9:27
完美体现了Google的进步。
9:30
- 是的。
9:32
- 看起来他们对多模态非常重视。
9:33
- 嗯。
9:34
- 你怎么看他们的策略?
9:35
- 我挺佩服的。
9:36
我觉得他们在某些方面确实犹豫了,
9:38
这种犹豫恰恰符合预期。
9:40
将AI融入核心功能有风险,
9:44
可能会损害自家产品,或者很多人
9:47
已经用了这些工具十多年,
9:51
转换成本比较高。
9:53
他们不想在AI突然出现时吓到用户,
9:56
这我能理解。
10:00
但他们做得非常好的,是这些新创意产品,
10:04
基本上是DeepMind团队驱动的模型,
10:06
我觉得他们整体很棒。
10:09
- 我觉得Notebook LM实际上是首次展现,
10:11
是消费者AI音频领域的真正创新。
10:15
现在又有了图像和视频模型。
10:18
所以这样的大公司,
10:20
他们必须克服自身桎梏,
10:23
实际开始创新。
10:27
看起来他们正在这样做,但你曾在Google工作,
10:31
所以我很好奇你的看法。
10:32
- 很开心你提到Notebook,
10:35
因为Notebook在公司算是个无人争夺的空白地带,
10:38
这避免了十位副总裁争抢资源。
10:40
因此,Notebook的进展非常快。
10:41
他们刚推出了视频生成功能,
10:44
可以很直观地展示你的工作区内容,挺酷的。
10:47
相比之下,像Sheets和Docs这些现有产品,
10:48
有太多过去积累的惯性和势头,
10:50
还有管理层的各种压力,
10:53
他们很难做超出最显而易见的增量改进。
10:54
- 是的,我同意。
10:56
接下来几年会怎样,我们拭目以待。
10:59
我感觉他们会竭力保住这些产品,
11:01
因为不想失去用户群,但正如你说,
11:04
他们已经锁定了众多企业用户,
11:08
短期内可能不必做太多变化,
11:10
也能跟上步伐。
11:13
- 这次谈话隐含的一个点是,
11:14
我们西方体验并讨论很多AI,
11:16
说说全球AI发展趋势吧。
11:18
我看到里面有几个令人惊讶的点。
11:21
- 我们扩大了报告的研究范围,
11:23
结果非常有趣和好玩。
11:25
两个显而易见的与世界其他地方不同的是,
11:26
俄罗斯和中国。
11:28
大家都知道,中国许多AI产品被审查或禁用。
11:31
因此几乎所有的使用,
11:33
他们在ChatGPT、Bard和Gemini的综合使用量上最低,
11:35
只有15%。
11:39
他们主要用的是字节跳动出品的Dall·E,DeepSeek,
11:41
Quinn,Kimi这些模型。
11:43
让我有些惊讶的是,俄罗斯的情况其实很相似,
11:46
他们也有自己的平行AI生态系统,
11:47
这是出于必须,因为制裁等因素,
11:50
阻止他们使用所有美国工具。
11:54
我们看到像GigaChat和Yandex,
11:57
这些俄罗斯本土产品,往往由国家相关公司打造,
11:59
使用量很大,还有DeepSeek。
12:02
DeepSeek在俄罗斯市场仅次于中国,
12:05
排名第二。
12:07
如果你看各国采纳数据,
12:10
是的,某些国家对Claude用得更多,
12:12
有的国家对Gemini用得更多,
12:14
但两个最大异常是俄罗斯和中国,
12:15
他们是巨大市场,
12:18
值得持续关注。
12:21
- 很有趣的是,俄罗斯和中国
12:22
都因使用限制和文化偏好成为例外,
12:25
还有其他国家有地理特定趋势吗?
12:29
还是说这是一种全球AI行为模式?
12:33
- 说到模型开发,
12:34
专有模型开发可让你部署专属AI产品,
12:38
大部分研究来自美国和中国,
12:40
俄罗斯可能也有些贡献。
12:43
其他地方也在见证本土生态出现。
12:46
韩国有几款本土产品,
12:48
比如Neighbor和Cookal,
12:51
做出了不错的语言模型界面。
12:52
印度是我特别关注的另一市场,
12:56
因为那里人口众多,
12:59
可以支持独立大型企业专注印度市场。
13:01
印度的另一特色是语言多样,
13:03
各种语言不全被语言模型和语音产品支持,
13:06
导致主语言用户体验相对较差,
13:08
比如使用类似ChatGPT的产品时。
13:10
目前尚未见大量变种,
13:12
但我不惊讶未来可能有更多创业者,
13:14
甚至美国创业者,针对印度市场做AI。
13:15
另外一点,我们首次制作了个热力图,
13:18
显示哪些国家人均采纳AI最多和最少。
13:21
我们看了十大大型语言模型产品,
13:24
包括网页版和移动端,看看数据如何。
13:25
新加坡排名第一。
13:28
- 太疯狂了。 - 是的。
13:30
紧随其后的是香港、阿联酋、韩国。
13:34
美国排名第20,
13:37
不算特别低,也不算特别高。
13:39
俄罗斯和中国排得很后,排名50之后。
13:43
数据中蕴含许多有趣故事。
13:45
先说这前五名,
13:48
新加坡、韩国、香港,
13:50
劳动力结构高度技术化,白领比例高,技能丰富。
13:52
美国有大量岗位AI还未涉足,
13:55
比如零售、运输等领域。
13:57
另外,关于AI的文化认知多样性极大。
14:01
如果你在美国,
14:02
可能对AI的持续焦虑和质疑感受深刻——
14:04
- 是的,我就打算问你这个问题。
14:07
- 及AI对艺术家的负面影响等,
14:11
这些因素使得人们是否接受AI犹豫不决。
14:14
- 是的。
14:15
去年Edelman全球媒体公司做了项大调查,
14:18
美国的AI信任度较低,约32%,
14:22
而排名靠前的多数国家信任度达50%、60%、70%。
14:25
这也拖累了美国的发展速度,
14:28
尽管最大产品都来自美国,
14:31
人均使用率却不及其他投入更多的市场。
14:35
- 完全正确。
14:39
我读到中国对AI的好感度高达80%。
14:41
- 是的。 - 80%的人持正面看法。
14:44
我知道阿联酋和新加坡,
14:48
他们文化上更倾向技术乐观主义。
14:49
- 是的,确实如此。
14:50
看到一些小国的人均采纳率很有趣。
14:54
在美国,大约有三分之一的人每月活跃使用ChatGPT。
14:56
欧洲一些国家,甚至东欧,
14:59
虽样本较小,人均使用率可达45%到60%。
15:04
他们接受得较快。
15:06
- 是的,非常有意思。
15:09
我关注的是AI应用的全谱系,
15:11
从最实用的,
15:14
几乎是谷歌搜索替代品,
15:17
are very like tech first white collar high skill.
15:20
And the US has a giant chunk of jobs
15:23
where AI hasn't really touched them yet,
15:25
like retail and transportation and some of these other things.
15:29
I think also the cultural norms around AI
15:33
are shockingly diverse.
15:36
If you're in the US, you have probably internalized this
15:39
ongoing angst and questioning around--
15:41
- Yeah, I was going to ask you about this 100%.
15:44
- Or AI is terrible for artists
15:47
or all of these other things that make people pick up
15:50
or not pick up AI. - Yes.
15:51
- There was actually a big survey last year
15:54
from Edelman, the global media company.
15:57
And the US had a fairly low rate of trust in AI.
15:59
It was like 32% and most of these other countries
16:02
that are high on the list are like 50, 60, 70%.
16:06
So that I think has also held the US back
16:08
despite the fact that we are where the biggest products come from
16:12
are per capita usage is lower than a lot of these other markets
16:14
that have maybe smaller populations
16:16
but have embraced it more.
16:19
- I think that's exactly right.
16:20
Now I was reading that in China,
16:22
the sort of favorability views on AI are 80%.
16:25
- Yeah. - 80% hold a favorable view.
16:27
And I know UAE and Singapore,
16:29
I think they've sort of culturally wired to be tech optimistic.
16:34
- Yes. - Which is an advantage.
16:35
- Yes, yes, definitely.
16:37
It's interesting to see some of these smaller countries
16:39
like the per capita adoption rate.
16:42
Like in the US, it's around probably a third of people
16:45
are monthly active users of something like a Chachi BT.
16:49
In some, even some of like the European countries
16:52
or Eastern Europe, it's like 50, 45, 60% on smaller bases.
16:58
But they've kind of embraced it more quickly than we have here.
17:02
- Yeah, really interesting.
17:03
You know, one thing that I'm sort of watching
17:05
and I'm interested in is as you look at the spectrum of AI
17:07
from the most functional,
17:09
almost like a Google search replacement
17:11
对于最具文化性、创意性和个性化的,
17:14
我们应该看到各国之间更多的差异化。
17:17
因为显然文化方面,
17:18
印度拍摄的电影
17:19
与中国或美国拍摄的电影截然不同。
17:21
- 是的。
17:23
- 那他们使用创意工具的方式为何不不同呢?
17:25
- 是的,老实说这也是
17:27
我们开始在这份报告中考虑地理细分的部分原因,
17:30
因为在生成式AI的前两年半,
17:33
三年中,
17:35
绝大多数消费者可能只在使用
17:38
一个产品,现在这种情况已有很大扩展。
17:41
我认为我们将看到更多
17:43
针对特定市场的工具。
17:45
如果它们占领了足够的市场份额,
17:48
比如一些俄罗斯或中国公司,
17:51
它们实际上可以进入全球榜单,
17:53
前提是市场规模足够大。
17:55
说说创意工具的发展,
17:58
你认为这有多少反映了文化、
18:00
是文化驱动的,
18:02
我们何时会跨越那个门槛?
18:04
- 创意工具的趋势令人着迷。
18:07
显然,首个大型生成式AI产品
18:10
实际上是mid-journey,早于Chachi PC发布。
18:13
- 确实,是这样的。
18:14
- 在我们榜单的最初几期,
18:16
创意工具占据主导地位。
18:19
我以前说过,
18:21
创意工具受益于
18:24
早期模型的幻觉效应,
18:27
因为它们生成的内容往往更令人惊喜、美丽或原创。
18:30
因此,一度只有这些创意工具
18:32
在消费者AI中真正奏效。
18:35
现在情况变化很大。
18:36
创意工具仍是榜单的重要部分,
18:39
但作为独立业务的大型创意工具类型已经改变。
18:41
最大的变化是
18:45
我们看到独立的图像生成器越来越少。
18:47
许多这类工作,
18:51
如果制作基本的图像,
18:52
比如表情包、基础营销图像或信息图,
18:55
像Chachi BT和Gemini的核心模型
18:59
现在对此类任务都很擅长。
19:02
因此榜单上仍出现的产品,
19:05
如I-U gram或mid-journey,
19:07
要么是美学主张很强烈,
19:10
要么具有更复杂的工作流程,
19:13
这是Chachi BT类工具无法提供的。
19:16
相比之下,音乐、语音、视频
19:21
似乎是模型最大的公司投入较少的领域。
19:26
所以我们看到像Suno做音乐,
19:28
和11 labs做语音的玩家,
19:31
完全脱颖而出,
19:33
进入榜单前二十、十五名,
19:37
并且长时间保持位置。
19:40
同时还有社区和大量企业客户的复合锁定效应。
19:43
视频领域我有最多疑问。
19:45
OpenAI通过Sora在投资,
19:46
当然谷歌也在用Vio,
19:50
但中国模型非常出色,
19:54
因为它们可以训练任何数据。
19:57
Sea Dance 2可能是最佳例证,
19:59
在某些方面远超美国公司目前的水平。
20:01
我认为这将有利于像Korea这样的平台,
20:03
可以在一个地方使用所有模型,
20:08
因为我姐姐Justine写过相关文章。
20:10
视频的发展趋势显示,
20:14
不太可能出现一个统治所有的单一模型。
20:18
因此你需要能够在模型间切换。
20:21
- 这对大多数模型领域都适用,
20:25
聊天模型、创意模型,甚至代码模型,
20:26
它们都有自己的专业方向。
20:29
你知道,人们会讨论opus的易用性
20:32
和codecs的准确率。
20:35
这是权衡取舍,
20:38
你得选择针对不同问题使用不同工具。
20:40
- 绝对如此。
20:43
- Sora对我来说非常有趣,
20:45
因为它既代表了模型的一大进步,
20:47
也是一个关于社交的雄心勃勃的实验。
20:50
在Sora早期的数据里,
20:51
创作人数百分比显著,
20:54
比之前高出10倍。
20:57
你如何评价
20:59
Sora的社交努力与模型努力?
21:00
你怎么看它的未来?
21:03
- Sora非常吸引人。
21:05
这是一个早期非常有趣的实验,
21:08
它教会了我们许多东西,
21:09
不仅是关于创意工具,
21:12
更重要的是关于AI时代的消费者社交可能是什么样。
21:14
从数据来看,它发布时反响巨大,
21:15
曾连续20天登顶美国App Store,
21:19
这很难做到。
21:22
这意味着你每天大约需要
21:24
15万次下载才能排名第一。
21:27
这下载量很高。
21:29
它实际上比Chachi BT更快达到一百万用户。
21:31
这是个巨大发布。
21:33
事实上,我认为很多人低估了
21:34
它依然有大量活跃用户。
21:36
Sensor Tower数据显示日活有三百万,
21:37
这相当不错。
21:38
Sora的新下载量有所下降,
21:40
可能是因为,
21:42
它11月下载峰值达六百万次每月,
21:45
现在大约一百五十万。
21:46
我认为Sora的成功关键是
21:48
它是个非常好的视频模型。
21:52
它创新并引入了“戏份”(cameos)概念,
21:54
即真实人物
21:57
可以授权自己的形象给Sora,
21:59
让自己和别人生成自己的视频。
22:02
很多人早期制作朋友的搞笑视频。
22:03
杰克·保罗因率先投入Sora
22:05
一炮而红。
22:07
你能看到大量疯狂的杰克·保罗视频,
22:11
我们写过报道。
22:14
是的。
22:15
老实说,他做得很好。
22:17
是的,是的。
22:19
我认为Sora的问题是
22:21
内容可以导出,
22:24
用户会分享到TikTok,
22:25
或Instagram Reels,
22:27
或YouTube,
22:29
在那里它要和人类最佳内容竞争。
22:30
所以整体内容流体验更优,
22:31
因为你看到的是人类和Sora的双重最佳,
22:34
而非仅仅是Sora的最佳。
22:35
我认为我们还没见过纯AI内容的社交产品成功。
22:36
情感投入在某些方面降低了。
22:37
我想我们会看到类似的例子,
22:38
Sora仍有显著使用量,
22:42
作为创意工具带来收入,
22:45
但作为社交应用没那么成功。
22:47
对。
22:49
我不知道是否会有大型AI原生社交网络,
22:50
但目前还看不到它的模样。
22:54
会很有趣。
22:57
我们经常讨论,
22:59
每个社交产品都有自己的身份玩法。
23:00
是的。
23:05
Instagram上的是最火的,
23:07
在X上是最有趣的,
23:11
而在Sora上,涌现的身份玩法是成为最有趣的人。
23:14
是的。
23:18
我觉得这也是内容难以跨界的原因之一,
23:20
因为两者评判“有趣”和“优秀”的标准完全不同。
23:21
同意。
23:23
如果让我想象他们可能找到的细分领域,
23:24
他们现在与迪士尼等大媒体公司达成了多项协议。
23:28
如果Sora是制作
23:30
授权的粉丝视频的唯一平台,
23:31
呈现受欢迎的角色和娱乐人物,
23:32
那将非常有趣。
23:35
完全正确。
23:35
但这还很早,
23:38
我们还在观察它的发展。
23:39
还很早。
23:41
我知道。
23:42
我们可以这么说。
23:43
是的。
23:44
我们谈话时必须提到代理,
23:46
OpenClaw, Manis, Genspar, Moldbook。
23:49
给我们概述一下
23:50
过去60天代理领域发生了什么
23:51
报告告诉了我们什么?
23:53
我说过去,
23:55
甚至过去六个月,
23:57
更准确说是报告中最近两个月,
23:59
是我见过最有趣的时期。
24:02
OpenClaw实际上,正如你将看到的,
24:06
没有上榜,因为它在二月爆发。
24:08
而我们的数据截止到一月。
24:09
但我们提取了二月的数据,
24:10
如果符合条件,
24:12
它会排名我们网络榜单第30名,
24:13
这是一个相当大的首次亮相。
24:14
We can say that.
24:15
Yeah.
24:16
We can't have this conversation without talking about agents,
24:18
open claw, manis, genspar, moldbook.
24:22
Give us an overview of what has happened
24:24
in the last 60 days in the world of agents
24:26
and what does a report tell us?
24:27
I think this is mostly why I say the last,
24:29
you know, even six months,
24:31
but actually even two months of this report
24:33
have been like the most interesting
24:35
that I think we've seen.
24:36
So open claw actually, as you'll see,
24:39
is not on our rankings because it blew up in February.
24:42
Our data ends in January.
24:43
But we did pull the data for February.
24:46
And if it had been eligible,
24:48
it would have been number 30 on our web list,
24:50
which is a pretty big debut.
24:53
我认为关于Open Claw真正有趣的地方
24:55
是它的使用量在技术社区中持续加速增长
24:58
。
24:59
所以现在,我觉得它是第一名,
25:01
GitHub历史上的明星项目。
25:02
它超过了React,也超过了Linux。
25:04
哇,真是非常非常有趣。
25:05
是的。
25:06
非常令人印象深刻。
25:08
但就整体新用户而言,
25:11
增长有点停滞。
25:12
我们查看了一下“开始使用”
25:15
或注册页面的访问情况。
25:16
从二月初开始,这个数据几乎周周持平,
25:20
我认为这表明,
25:21
它是一个了不起的技术产品,
25:24
但还没有完全扩散到非技术人群,
25:27
也就是更广泛的人群。
25:28
他们被OpenAI收购了。
25:32
所以如果要我猜测,
25:33
或者说我希望看到OpenAI做的是
25:35
将Open Claw产品化,
25:37
变成主流消费者可用的东西。
25:39
我也觉得Open Claw架构背后的理念
25:43
激发了许多其他创业者。
25:46
我们每天会听到多少创业者pitch,
25:49
他们都说,
25:51
“我想成为这个领域的Open Claw。”
25:53
完全正确。Open Claw让我意识到这是可能的。
25:54
是的。
25:55
所以我认为Open Claw本身
25:58
会继续成功,成为巨大产品。
25:59
我猜我们会看到更多
26:01
针对不同用例的Open Claw垂直版本。
26:03
是的,这太有趣了,
26:05
因为Open Claw之所以这么有效,
26:07
是因为它可以跨所有模型,
26:09
向各个方向运作。
26:10
我有点好奇,如果它只提供单一模型,
26:11
是否会削弱Open Claw的价值,
26:13
这样它就成了Labs的对立面。
26:16
完全正确。
26:19
他们目前依然保持多模型,
26:21
至少我使用时是这样。
26:24
后续趋势如何我们拭目以待。
26:25
我认为保持多模型使用是明智的。
26:27
是的。
26:28
Manus是面向消费者级的Open Claw,
26:29
还是你如何区分这个团队?
26:31
是的,有人会这么说。
26:33
我实际上认为,
26:35
Manus进入了我们的网络榜单,
26:36
并且在榜单期间被Meta以超过20亿美元收购。
26:38
增长非常惊人。
26:39
他们从零达到1亿、2亿ARR,
26:42
用了大约六到九个月左右,
26:46
这在业内属于顶尖水平。
26:48
我认为Manus成功的原因是,
26:49
它是首个能够相当自主操作,
26:52
跨产品和平台的消费级智能代理。
26:55
你可以连接邮箱,它能浏览网页。
26:59
它能做幻灯片,也能做表格。
27:02
我早期花了很多时间试用,
27:04
比如一年前的ChatGPT操作助手
27:07
或谷歌的Project Mariner。
27:10
它们没有一个可靠。
27:13
Manus在代理的可靠性和易用性上是突破性的。
27:17
我觉得它被收购非常有意义,
27:19
显示了未来的发展方向。
27:23
当人人具备这代理能力时,
27:25
你可能会想,如果它基于核心底层模型,
27:27
作为一个通用产品,
27:30
它其实更适合由Meta或谷歌这类大公司分发,
27:33
而非独立创业公司。
27:35
如果你做的是垂直领域产品,情况就不同了,
27:39
但谷歌如今有资源做出Manus这样的产品,
27:43
创业公司很难竞争。
27:45
大公司确实有很多优先事项,
27:48
不会做到每个领域都一流,
27:52
但这也是我对超广泛的消费者AI应用更为谨慎的原因,
27:55
因为大公司覆盖面广,
27:59
他们本身就有IT批准和企业合同的优势。
28:00
- 对,对,有趣的是我们跨过了
28:02
这样一个文化门槛,
28:06
Manus在产品广度上曾被视为不太明显的赌注。
28:10
现在看起来,他们像是生活在未来。
28:12
- 是的,完全正确。
28:13
他们显然是一个了不起的工程团队,
28:16
产品质量领先市场三到六个月,
28:18
这很难做到,尤其面对成千上万的自由研发者竞争。
28:19
- 完全同意。
28:22
让我们通过这个话题引入
28:26
关于其他水平AI产品的讨论,
28:28
以及那些超越网页界面的应用。
28:30
- 是的。
28:32
- 你意思是?
28:34
- 是的,这是个巨大主题。
28:37
我每天接触的AI产品中,
28:39
很多其实是桌面应用,
28:43
比如Granola、语音转写工具、Cloud Co-work之类。
28:45
这对我们报告来说是个方法论问题,
28:47
因为我们能很好地追踪网站访问,
28:48
也能很好追踪首次下载桌面应用,
28:49
和移动端使用情况,
28:52
但不能太精准地追踪桌面端使用量。
28:55
我认为随着AI产品愈发复杂,
28:57
在专门应用里运行,
28:59
许多会基于桌面,
29:00
因为能与文件交互,也更随时可用。
29:01
这趋势会越来越显著。
29:03
所以后续我们得想办法并行追踪,
29:06
依靠网页、移动端使用量,
29:09
以及收入排名,
29:10
这将是明智的做法。
29:10
因为像Cursor这类,
29:12
一些收入最高的消费级准专业AI应用,
29:15
网页端使用很少,
29:17
大部分都在专用应用内。
29:19
- 是的,非常有趣。
29:22
这也说明OpenAI发布Atlas,
29:25
Anthropic发布Co-work,
29:29
反映了他们的优先级所在。
29:31
- 是的,完全同意。
29:33
AI浏览器本身就是一个有趣的话题。
29:34
我觉得我们仍处于早中期阶段,
29:37
还不知道它会如何发展。
29:40
AI原生浏览器的理念正确,
29:43
如果AI能一直在线,随时可用,
29:45
在你花大量时间浏览的地方,
29:48
这是个好机会。
29:50
Perplexity Comment实际上率先做到了这点。
29:51
- 是个很棒的产品。
29:53
- 是的。
29:56
有趣的是,
29:59
Comment和Atlas下载页面访问量高峰比较,
30:02
Comment是Atlas的五倍,
30:05
这很惊人,因为ChatGPT用户量庞大。
30:07
- 是的,我也觉得如此。
30:09
- 我们看到Comment和Atlas都有忠实用户,
30:12
但对于普通用户来说,
30:13
更换浏览器的成本不低,
30:16
因为你已有固定工作流程,
30:19
自然会打开那个浏览器。
30:20
所以不仅要功能相当,
30:22
AI浏览器必须有一两项杀手级功能,
30:26
且容易被普通人设置和使用。
30:27
我觉得这还没完全实现。
30:28
- 真的很有趣,
30:30
六个月前Sam在一个播客中说,
30:35
有人问他,
30:38
最让你惊讶的是什么?
30:40
他说,是世界变化没想象中大。
30:43
如果看人们大规模使用ChatGPT的趋势,
30:47
仍主要用于作业和类似Google的查询,
30:51
以及一些陪伴功能,
30:54
从某种意义上说,像浏览器那样,
30:56
可以引导用户走不同路径。
30:59
你怎么看普通人今天如何使用AI?
31:00
- 我有几点想法。
31:00
首先,我觉得青少女
31:03
是观察消费端动态的最佳来源。
31:06
- 你没教我这一点,是的。
31:09
- 他们是最大消费成果的早期拥护者,
31:11
不久前Pew研究有个报告,
31:15
专门研究青少年如何使用AI。
31:16
- And I think what we've seen is like
31:18
comment and Atlas still have very dedicated,
31:22
excited user bases,
31:24
but for the average consumer,
31:26
the switching cost of a browser is non-trivial,
31:29
just because like you have workflows set up,
31:32
you naturally just open this one app.
31:35
And so it not only has to be like feature parity,
31:37
there has to be one or two features of the AI browser
31:40
that are really killer and that are easy enough
31:43
for the average person to set up and access.
31:45
And I don't think that we've seen that quite yet.
31:48
- You know, it's really interesting
31:49
because Sam said, I think six months ago in a pod,
31:51
you know, somebody was asking him,
31:53
what has surprised you the most?
31:54
And he said, it's that the world hasn't changed more.
31:57
And if you look at the trends around
31:58
how people are using Chachi BT at scale,
32:00
it's still, you know, homework and Google like queries
32:03
and a little bit of companionship,
32:05
in a sense, something like a browser
32:07
that gives you an opportunity
32:08
to point the user in a different direction.
32:10
What's your view on how the average person
32:12
is using AI today?
32:13
- Yeah, I think a couple of things.
32:17
So one, I feel like teenage girls
32:19
are like the best source of what is happening in consumer--
32:22
- You haven't taught me this, yes.
32:23
- What will be happening in consumer?
32:24
If you look at all of the biggest consumer outcomes,
32:26
like they were the early adopters of all of these products.
32:30
And so there was actually a Pew Research Study
32:32
fairly recently on how teenagers are using AI.
32:35
现在终于,我觉得这是第一次,
32:38
超过一半的人承认
32:40
使用它来做作业。
32:41
所以真实数字可能是99.99%,
32:44
但其中一些人不想惹父母生气。
32:46
- 嗯哼。
32:48
- 38%现在将它用作创作工具。
32:51
比如编辑图片、编辑视频,
32:53
生成图片和视频。
32:55
然后这有一个稍微增长的长尾趋势,
32:58
但我认为最终会成为最大行为之一。
33:02
16%用它进行轻松聊天,
33:05
不是强烈的陪伴产品,
33:08
而是找个人聊聊天。
33:10
然后12%用它做情感支持
33:13
和提供建议。
33:14
我认为所有这些用例最终都会趋近于
33:17
大约100%。
33:21
这些行为可能是目前
33:23
产品服务较少,但未来会被满足的,
33:26
无论是在聊天机器人上,还是
33:27
独立产品上。
33:30
另一个我关注的大事是
33:34
代理。
33:35
我觉得基本上-- - 我们的少女会用代理。
33:39
来吧。 - 情况是这样的。
33:40
我认为代理类似于1990年,
33:44
互联网公司被称为点com公司,
33:47
或者点com成了科技公司的标识。
33:49
- 对。
33:51
- 我觉得代理也会是这样。
33:53
最终每个科技公司
33:55
都会是点com公司。
33:56
我觉得每个AI公司
33:58
以及每个科技公司都会成为代理公司,
34:02
因为模型的发展趋势就是如此。
34:05
如果你能给用户
34:07
提供结果,
34:10
而不仅仅是输入,这作为软件产品更有吸引力。
34:12
所以是的,我认为13岁女孩会用代理,
34:15
但她们不会把它们当作代理。
34:18
但我觉得这会解锁AI在其他消费领域的许多用例,
34:21
比如财务、
34:24
医疗、旅行规划、复杂的趋势购物,
34:29
在有代理之前,数据太多,
34:32
你必须自己去搜集、可靠执行,
34:35
跨系统操作几乎不可能。
34:38
现在这变得可能了。
34:39
所以我认为接下来几个月
34:40
这些其他用例会爆发式增长。
34:43
- 你觉得这要多久才能完成?
34:45
我是说,12个月内大家都会用自己的OpenAI?
34:47
还是五年后?
34:48
这是什么错误的思维模型?
34:49
当我们六个月后在下一个Top 100大会讨论时,
34:50
世界会是什么样子?
34:52
- 我感觉每次我预测的事情
34:55
都比预期发生得快,
34:57
我认为我们每天都能看到这一点,
34:59
创业公司成长速度前所未有。
35:03
但文化变革
35:04
和文化接受速度会比技术变革慢。
35:08
因此我们会持续看到
35:11
这波早期浪潮,通常是技术人员,
35:13
有时非技术人员做先锋,
35:17
六个月后其他人跟进。
35:19
一个我非常兴奋的例子是
35:23
语音,我们谈了很多。
35:26
- 确实谈了很多。
35:28
- 在我看来,这是信息量最大、
35:30
质量最高的媒体形式之一。
35:34
你每日所做的很多事情,
35:36
实际上是基于你说的话上下游运作。
35:38
我觉得过去六个月,第一次见到工程师,
35:41
现在其他技术人员开始用语音输入。
35:46
现在很多公司会议
35:48
几乎成了录音并用AI转录的常态。
35:51
不管是语音输入,
35:55
还是会回答问题或帮你办事的语音助手,
35:58
我觉得接下来六到九个月
36:01
会普及到普通消费者。
36:03
- 真是非常有趣。
36:05
讲到最后,你能聊聊记忆吗?
36:07
- 好的。
36:10
- 你怎么看记忆的发展?
36:12
- 我们之前提过,现在
36:14
记忆功能有点突兀,
36:15
特别是Claude和ChatGPT这方面做得很好。
36:19
就连谷歌的Gemini也推出了“个人智能”,
36:20
它能从文档、邮箱等获取你的信息,
36:24
用AI服务你所有应用。
36:24
正如我说的,目前可能稍微让人不适应,
36:25
因为很多人跟AI谈论生活工作各方面,
36:29
有时AI可能会无意中
36:31
触及它知道你的信息,
36:35
试图更好帮助你,但在错误场景下。
36:36
所以这方面还有很多基础设施工作要做,
36:38
就是如何在各种场景里区分“你是谁”。
36:42
一旦解决,
36:45
我认为记忆会成为
36:48
AI产品的核心优势之一。
36:50
无论是它们自身的记忆,或ChatGPT借用记忆,
36:54
两年后你开始用的产品,
36:55
如果不感觉它了解你,
36:58
那你会觉得它有缺陷。
37:00
产品的上手体验,
37:03
几年后应该是不再存在的概念。
37:05
我认为记忆功能能实现这一点。
37:07
我个人的体会是,我每天都和多款AI交流,
37:11
它们的互动方式和价值,
37:13
在使用两三个月后提升了很多,
37:17
比刚开始用时好太多。
37:19
- 太不可思议了。
37:24
好吧,我不知道未来如何,
37:27
但它会奇妙又奇怪。
37:30
我很期待。
37:31
- Bolivia,非常感谢你。
37:34
今天能聊聊,
37:38
还有这份报告,真的很开心。
37:39
有什么最后想说的吗?
37:40
- 没有,我只是很期待大家读这报告。
37:44
里面有很多有趣的数据,
37:46
六个月后肯定会完全不同。
37:48
到时候我们再见。
37:50
- 非常激动人心。
37:53
告诉我们你的想法,
37:55
谢谢收看。
37:56
- 谢谢。
37:57
(欢快音乐)
37:58
I'm excited for it, yes.
38:00
- Bolivia, thank you so much.
38:01
It was super fun to actually have this conversation today
38:04
and go through the report.
38:05
Any closing comments?
38:06
- No, I'm just excited for people to read it.
38:08
There's a lot of interesting data in there next time
38:10
and I'm sure it will look wildly different six months from now.
38:13
So we'll be back then.
38:14
- Really exciting.
38:15
Well, tell us what you think
38:16
and thanks for checking us out.
38:17
- Thank you.
38:23
(upbeat music)
0:00
[MUSIC]
0:04
Olivia, welcome.
0:05
>> Thanks for having me.
0:06
>> It's the most exciting time of the year,
0:08
which is the top 100 report is coming out today, I think.
0:11
Is that right? >> Yep.
0:12
>> It's been six editions over three years.
0:15
Talk to us about what's the same, what's changed,
0:18
what's your excitement level, what's up with the report?
0:20
>> Yeah, in many ways, so much has changed,
0:23
and there's been just an incredible amount of growth
0:25
since the first time we put out this list in 2023.
0:28
On the other hand, from a macro level, we're still so early.
0:32
Chachibiti is by far the biggest global AI product,
0:36
and still only 10% of the global population is using it on a weekly active
0:41
basis.
0:41
So there's a lot more to come.
0:43
I do think this past six months has been maybe my favorite time
0:47
and the most exciting time because of the shifts that we've seen.
0:51
One of them has been at the race for the consumer is really heating up.
0:54
So Chachibiti, of course, but also Gemini and Claude are kind of doubling down
0:59
on their own ICP within consumer and prosumer.
1:03
And I think we're starting to see how these platforms might have
1:06
compounding advantages over time.
1:08
And so that makes it especially kind of existential or interesting
1:12
of who is acquiring the most users.
1:14
And then on a related note, this was actually the first issue
1:17
that we included products that were non-AI native,
1:20
but are now majority AI-enabled.
1:22
So things like Canva, Notion, Free Pick.
1:25
Notion actually announced that now they think half of their new ARR
1:29
is driven by AI first features, which is very cool.
1:32
And then lastly, I think we've seen a big expansion of AI
1:36
outside of just like the website or app prompt box.
1:39
So we have all of the browsers that have come out, like, you know,
1:43
DIA, Comet, Atlas.
1:45
We have Claude and Excel, PowerPoint and Chrome.
1:48
And then we have desktop apps like cursor, whisper flow, granola.
1:53
And so there's been just a really kind of exciting explosion
1:56
in the ways that people are using AI.
1:58
So exciting.
1:59
There's a ton to cover here.
2:00
So let's start with the big foundation models.
2:02
Can you talk a bit about what you think
2:04
are the respective areas of specialization for Gemini, Claude?
2:07
And then, of course, Chatsheet BT,
2:08
because it feels like it's been a rising tide story more
2:11
than these models trading off with each other.
2:13
Yes, I agree.
2:14
Despite the drama maybe of the past week
2:17
where we have Katy Perry taking sides on Twitter in the LML
2:21
or which is something that I didn't ever see coming,
2:24
I think at a base level still, if you look at AI usage,
2:27
like Chatsheet BT is a very, very clear winner.
2:29
So on web, they're 2.7 times bigger than Gemini.
2:33
On mobile, they're 2.5 times bigger than Gemini.
2:37
And then despite, again, like the kind of tech Twitter discourse,
2:41
Claude, they're almost 30 times bigger than Claude on web
2:45
and almost 80 times bigger than Claude on mobile.
2:47
So we had seen that Sam Altman tweet
2:49
back in the Super Bowl ad wars era.
2:51
The Texas tweet.
2:52
Yes, he was like, we have more people using Chatsheet BT,
2:56
free version in Texas than Claude has,
2:58
like all users globally, which is true.
3:00
That being said, I think we are seeing,
3:04
I don't think bifurcation is the right word,
3:06
but maybe expansion in the number of products people are using
3:10
and what they're using different products for,
3:13
which has kind of changed the market share a little bit.
3:15
Claude in particular is really doubled down on prosumer
3:19
with things like co-work, Claude code,
3:21
Claude and Excel and PowerPoint.
3:23
If you actually look at the app stores
3:25
that are emerging on Claude and Chatsheet BT,
3:28
they both have 200 plus apps,
3:30
but there's only 11% overlap.
3:32
Like Claude is very much doubling down
3:34
on like premium data sources, research tools,
3:37
science tools, financial data.
3:39
And Chatsheet BT is really doubling down
3:41
on like consumer marketplaces, travel, nutrition,
3:44
consumer finance, things like that.
3:46
And then Gemini is kind of in its own little corner as well.
3:50
And the traction has largely been driven
3:52
by creative tools there.
3:53
So if you look at their kind of active users
3:55
and paying users, it's nearly perfectly correlated
3:58
to releases of like VO3, Nano Banana One, Nano Banana Pro,
4:02
Nano Banana Two, they're doing a little more in prosumer,
4:06
they're adding AI to Gmail, Sheets, Calendar,
4:11
but that's all being captured
4:13
by like their existing products
4:15
versus like a net new experience.
4:17
- Maybe let's dig into the app store dynamic a little bit
4:20
because that's so fascinating.
4:22
Can you talk about the bull case for Chatsheet BT
4:25
with I think what they call the apps directory?
4:26
- Yeah, yeah.
4:28
I think the approach we're seeing with Chatsheet BT
4:30
and Sam said this himself on Twitter is like,
4:32
we wanna be the AI for everyone.
4:34
And that means that they're trying to acquire every consumer
4:37
and they'll monetize them in different ways.
4:39
So like I think Claude has been very clear
4:40
that they're just gonna monetize via subscriptions,
4:43
which is great for people and companies
4:45
who can pay for subscriptions, but it won't be everyone.
4:48
I think you see that with the plugins
4:50
that they're leaning into, which are like paid, high ACV,
4:54
like work data tools and data services.
4:56
- Similar labs, things like that.
4:57
- Yeah, things like that.
4:58
Like pitch book, like things that you would use
5:00
if you're an investor or a scientist, a mathematician.
5:04
And Chatsheet BT I think is going more of the
5:08
somewhat of a Google type approach
5:10
in that they're building things
5:12
that like the average person will want to use.
5:15
And maybe a smaller percentage of those convert
5:18
to subscriptions right now, but they will be able
5:20
to monetize those people through ads
5:23
and probably also I would guess through transactions.
5:26
Like if they're building the gateway to like book a trip
5:30
or do all of these other kind of long tail consumer purchases,
5:35
hypothetically they should eventually be able to take
5:37
some kind of cut of that, at least for the traffic
5:40
that they're driving.
5:41
And so I think that that is the bull case
5:44
for the Chatsheet BT App Store that isn't yet showing up
5:47
in the data that will probably become like even more evident
5:50
in the next year or two.
5:52
- Yeah, it's really interesting 'cause it touches
5:53
on your point in the report about compounding advantages
5:56
and how context compounds.
5:58
Can you talk a little bit about that concept
6:00
and then what's your proxy in terms of a metric for it?
6:02
Is it session time, is it number of sessions,
6:04
is it the amount of data you've provided
6:06
or is there something else?
6:07
- Yeah, this is a really exciting question to me
6:10
because I think thus far with these horizontal LLMs
6:13
like Chatsheet BT, Claude, Gemini, perplexity,
6:17
we've kind of lived in a world where the context
6:20
and the memory is somewhat easily exportable.
6:22
Like Claude ran a campaign around this recently.
6:25
But I think there's gonna be increasing lock-in
6:28
and I do think that probably actually benefits
6:30
the broader, more horizontal tools like Chatsheet BT
6:33
for a few reasons.
6:35
So I think one, we've already seen Chatsheet BT focus on
6:39
or start to build out products where you interact
6:42
with other people on them through the platform.
6:44
So the group chats, like imagine if you,
6:46
if there's an even more successful version
6:48
of Chatsheet BT group chats
6:50
and all of your friends are on there,
6:51
then if you wanted to turn from Chatsheet BT,
6:53
you'd also have to convince them all to go through another product.
6:56
- Exactly.
6:57
I would say the second one is kind of also
7:00
like an Apple Google comparison in that
7:02
as these app stores emerge, it is likely that developers
7:05
might start to concentrate their time and effort
7:08
in who they build for in the most sophisticated way,
7:12
who they ship to first, depending on who has the most users
7:16
or maybe in some cases who's the most willing to pay,
7:19
but for a lot of these consumer tools,
7:20
it'll be who has the most users.
7:22
So I think that also benefits Chatsheet BT.
7:25
And then the other thing probably that I'm most excited
7:27
for this year that Sam Altman had kind of hinted at
7:31
is this like authentication with Chatsheet BT layer.
7:34
So essentially you'd be able to log in
7:36
with your Chatsheet BT account
7:37
and take like your memory and your tokens with you.
7:42
And then that other product would be able to kind of borrow
7:45
those things to be even more powerful and helpful for you.
7:48
And if that's the case, then you're wanting
7:50
to have more of your core identity live on Chatsheet BT
7:54
because then it can lend it to these other tools
7:57
that are even better for you.
7:58
- It's so smart and it really plays to their advantages
8:01
in that they have signups for 900 million people.
8:05
And then the third party developer ideally
8:07
would not want to pay for the inference.
8:09
So the user can bring their inference capacity with them.
8:12
There's an advantage for the developer.
8:13
Chatsheet BT gets the lock in.
8:15
The user gets the benefit of personalization
8:17
and it all kind of works.
8:18
- Yes, I totally agree.
8:19
The one question mark I still have on this
8:21
that I think could play both positive and negative
8:24
in terms of increasing lock in for the consumer product
8:27
is what your work goes with,
8:30
like what your enterprise contract is.
8:33
So for example, in some ways, it's good for me
8:36
if we, if my company uses Chatsheet BT for work
8:40
because then I know how to use the product.
8:42
And as a normal consumer, they might have tried
8:44
one or two AI products.
8:45
So they're more likely to be comfortable
8:47
and keep using something that they've already used.
8:49
On the other hand, some people might not want to mix identity
8:53
and mix memory across their personal and work use cases.
8:56
- True.
8:57
- And so I'm really interested.
8:58
I think OpenAI hinted at this recently,
9:00
but I'm really interested in how we kind of segment memory
9:04
across different personas that are within yourself
9:08
that are using these products.
9:09
- Don't cross the streams.
9:11
- Yeah, exactly, exactly.
9:12
- Well, maybe actually switching gears
9:14
to Gemini for a moment.
9:15
You know, I think about the kind of just the vibes
9:18
around Google with their early AI products,
9:21
the Bard, which they'll never live down.
9:24
- Some top times there.
9:25
- So where we are today with products like Nana Banana,
9:27
like even naming it Nana Banana is such a perfect microcosm
9:30
for how far Google has come.
9:32
- Yeah.
9:33
- And it seems like they have a lot of intentions
9:34
around multimodality.
9:35
- Yeah.
9:36
- What's your assessment of their approach?
9:38
- I've been impressed.
9:40
I think they have been hesitant, maybe in some ways,
9:44
more hesitant in same ways is exactly what we would expect.
9:47
So to kind of bake AI into the core features
9:51
because there's a risk of either like cannibalizing
9:53
their own product or like there's so many people
9:56
who have used these tools for 10, 20, 30, 40 years.
10:00
And so the switching costs there is like a little bit high.
10:04
They don't want to scare users when AI is suddenly
10:06
popping up and everything, which I understand.
10:09
But what they've done a really, really good job at
10:11
is these new creative products that are basically
10:15
very model driven from the DeepMind team
10:18
who I think is generally fantastic.
10:20
- I think Notebook LM was actually the first look at this
10:23
and that was something truly new in like consumer AI audio.
10:27
And now we have the image and video models.
10:31
So in some ways with the big company like this,
10:32
they kind of have to get over, get out of their own way
10:35
in terms of being able to actually innovate.
10:38
And it seems like they are, but you also worked at Google.
10:40
So I'd be curious for you.
10:41
- It's interesting to just, I'm glad you brought Notebook
10:44
'cause Notebook is sort of this green field area
10:47
within product area within the company.
10:48
So you don't have 10 VPs fighting over it.
10:50
And as a result, I think just the progress on Notebook
10:53
has been tremendous.
10:54
You know, they just launched a video generation feature
10:56
that helps visually demonstrate all the concepts
10:59
in your sort of workspace, which is cool.
11:01
Conversely, when you look at the existing product surfaces
11:04
like sheets or docs, there's just so much,
11:08
one sort of momentum and inertia from the past,
11:10
but then management overhead around those.
11:13
It's harder for them to do anything other
11:14
than the most obvious incremental thing.
11:16
- Yes, I agree.
11:18
We'll see what happens there in the next few years.
11:21
I feel like they're gonna put up a fight
11:23
on some of those products 'cause they don't wanna lose
11:25
that user base, but to your point,
11:26
they're already locked in with so many enterprises
11:28
that they might not have to do that much,
11:31
at least in the near term to kind of keep up.
11:33
- You know, implicit in this conversation
11:35
is we experience and talk a lot about AI in the West.
11:39
Talk a bit about the sort of global AI trends.
11:41
There was a few surprising things I saw in there.
11:43
- We kind of expanded our scope in terms
11:46
of what we looked at for this report,
11:47
which ended up being like very fun and interesting.
11:50
Two things that are probably obvious
11:54
in terms of how they differ from the rest of the world
11:57
would be Russia and China.
11:59
So Russia, I think China, everyone knows,
12:02
like a ton of AI products are kind of censored or banned.
12:05
And so almost all of the usage,
12:07
they actually have the lowest combined
12:10
Chachi, BT, and Gemini usage of any country.
12:12
It's only 15%.
12:14
So they're mostly using like Dalbau,
12:15
which is made by ByteDance, DeepSeek,
12:18
Quinn, Kimi, those kinds of models.
12:21
The somewhat of a surprise to me
12:22
was that Russia actually is a very, very similar story,
12:25
where they have also their own kind of parallel AI ecosystem
12:29
out of necessity because they have some level of sanctions
12:33
and things like that that prevent them
12:34
from using all the US-based tools.
12:38
So we've seen products like GigaChat and Yandex,
12:40
which are Russia specific built by Russian,
12:43
often state-affiliated companies,
12:46
have big, big usage there, and then DeepSeek.
12:48
So Russia is the number two market for DeepSeek
12:51
after China.
12:52
And so if you look at the kind of like per-country adoption data,
12:56
like, yes, there's some blips where like,
12:59
this country uses Claude a little bit more,
13:01
this country uses Gemini a little bit more,
13:03
but the two huge outliers are Russia and China,
13:06
and those are like big, big markets.
13:08
And so I think it's worth watching what's going on there.
13:10
- It's interesting though, because both Russia and China,
13:12
they're outliers because of restrictions
13:14
around how models can be used,
13:15
and maybe cultural preferences.
13:18
Are there any other countries that have geo-specific trends,
13:21
or is this a sort of global AI behavior set?
13:24
- Yeah.
13:25
I would say in terms of like model development,
13:28
proprietary model development that allows you
13:30
to deploy proprietary AI products,
13:34
most of that research is coming out of the US and China,
13:37
maybe a little bit out of Russia.
13:39
I think we are seeing a few kind of native ecosystems
13:43
in other places.
13:45
I would, Korea has a couple of their own products
13:48
like Neighbor and Cookal that have built out
13:50
nice kind of LLM interfaces.
13:52
India is probably the other one that I watch really closely,
13:55
just because there's so many people
13:57
that you can have standalone big companies focus on India.
14:01
The other interesting thing about India
14:02
is there's so many different languages,
14:04
like such a range that both LLM products
14:07
and even voice products don't necessarily support very well.
14:11
Like it's a worse experience if you're a primary user
14:14
of one of those languages
14:15
and you're trying to use something like a chat UBT.
14:18
So so far we haven't seen a huge amount of variants there yet,
14:22
but I would not be surprised maybe to see more founders,
14:25
even from the US, like targeting the Indian market for AI.
14:28
And then the other thing I wanted to mention,
14:31
we did for the first time also kind of like a heat map
14:35
essentially of which countries are adopting AI the most
14:39
and the least on a per capita basis.
14:41
So we looked across like the 10 biggest LLM products
14:44
to see on web and mobile to see what this might look like.
14:48
So Singapore is number one.
14:49
- Crazy. - Yes.
14:50
Then Hong Kong, then the UAE, then South Korea.
14:54
The US is down at number 20.
14:56
So not super low, not incredibly high.
14:59
Russia and China are like very far down the list, like sub 50.
15:04
And there's a lot of interesting stories,
15:06
I think that live in that data.
15:09
The first one is if you think about those top five,
15:11
like Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong,
15:14
it's a very like the demographics of the workforce
15:17
are very like tech first white collar high skill.
15:20
And the US has a giant chunk of jobs
15:23
where AI hasn't really touched them yet,
15:25
like retail and transportation and some of these other things.
15:29
I think also the cultural norms around AI
15:33
are shockingly diverse.
15:36
If you're in the US, you have probably internalized this
15:39
ongoing angst and questioning around--
15:41
- Yeah, I was going to ask you about this 100%.
15:44
- Or AI is terrible for artists
15:47
or all of these other things that make people pick up
15:50
or not pick up AI. - Yes.
15:51
- There was actually a big survey last year
15:54
from Edelman, the global media company.
15:57
And the US had a fairly low rate of trust in AI.
15:59
It was like 32% and most of these other countries
16:02
that are high on the list are like 50, 60, 70%.
16:06
So that I think has also held the US back
16:08
despite the fact that we are where the biggest products come from
16:12
are per capita usage is lower than a lot of these other markets
16:14
that have maybe smaller populations
16:16
but have embraced it more.
16:19
- I think that's exactly right.
16:20
Now I was reading that in China,
16:22
the sort of favorability views on AI are 80%.
16:25
- Yeah. - 80% hold a favorable view.
16:27
And I know UAE and Singapore,
16:29
I think they've sort of culturally wired to be tech optimistic.
16:34
- Yes. - Which is an advantage.
16:35
- Yes, yes, definitely.
16:37
It's interesting to see some of these smaller countries
16:39
like the per capita adoption rate.
16:42
Like in the US, it's around probably a third of people
16:45
are monthly active users of something like a Chachi BT.
16:49
In some, even some of like the European countries
16:52
or Eastern Europe, it's like 50, 45, 60% on smaller bases.
16:58
But they've kind of embraced it more quickly than we have here.
17:02
- Yeah, really interesting.
17:03
You know, one thing that I'm sort of watching
17:05
and I'm interested in is as you look at the spectrum of AI
17:07
from the most functional,
17:09
almost like a Google search replacement
17:11
to the most cultural, creative, personal,
17:14
we should see more divergence country by country
17:17
because obviously the culture,
17:18
the movies they make in India
17:19
couldn't be more different than the movies they make
17:21
in China or the US. - Yeah.
17:23
- So why wouldn't their use of creative tools be different?
17:25
- Yeah, and this is honestly part of the reason why
17:27
we started looking at the geographic segmentation
17:30
in this report is because for the first two and a half,
17:33
three years of generative AI,
17:35
the vast majority of consumers were maybe interacting
17:38
with one product and now it's broadening quite a bit.
17:41
And I think that we will see more
17:43
of these market specific tools.
17:45
And if they capture enough of that market
17:48
like some of these Russian companies or Chinese companies,
17:51
they can actually surface up to the global list
17:53
if kind of the market is big enough.
17:55
Talk a bit about the evolution of creative tools
17:58
and how much do you think that is that a reflection
18:00
of culture, is that driving culture,
18:02
when do we cross that threshold?
18:04
- The creative tools trend has been fascinating.
18:07
I mean, obviously the first big generative AI product
18:10
was actually mid-journey, which came out before Chachi PC.
18:13
- True, that's right, yeah.
18:14
- And in our first few editions of the list,
18:16
it was very much dominated by creative tools.
18:19
And I've said this before,
18:21
but the creative tools benefit from kind of hallucination
18:24
of the early models because they produce things
18:27
that are more kind of surprising or beautiful or original.
18:30
And so for a while, those are the only things
18:32
working in consumer AI, really.
18:35
Now it's shifted a lot.
18:36
Creative tools are still a huge chunk of the list,
18:39
but like the type of creative tool
18:41
that is a standalone big business has changed.
18:45
I would say the biggest change
18:47
is we're seeing fewer standalone image generators.
18:51
A lot of this activity,
18:52
if you're making like a basic commodity image,
18:55
like a meme or a basic marketing image or an infographic,
18:59
like the core models in Chachi BT and Gemini
19:02
are quite good at those things now.
19:05
So the products that are still surfacing on the list,
19:07
like an I-U gram or a mid-journey
19:10
are either very aesthetically opinionated
19:13
or they have very more sophisticated workflows
19:16
that you can't get on something like a Chachi BT.
19:21
Contrasting that, I would say like music, voice, video,
19:26
all seem to be things that the model,
19:28
the biggest model companies have maybe invested less in.
19:31
And so we've seen players like Suno and music
19:33
and 11 labs in voice kind of completely break out
19:37
and rise to top 20, top 15 on the list
19:40
and then like hold their spot there over time.
19:43
And then there's like a compounding lock-in
19:45
from like the community and, you know,
19:46
the big base of enterprise customers and all of that.
19:50
Video is where I have the most questions.
19:54
OpenAI has been investing in it with Sora
19:57
and of course Google with Vio,
19:59
but the Chinese models are so good
20:01
because they can train on any data.
20:03
So Sea Dance 2 is probably the best example of this
20:08
where it's just kind of in some ways head and shoulders
20:10
above what the U.S. companies have thus far been able to do.
20:14
So I think we'll see, I think this actually benefits platforms
20:18
like a Korea where you can use all the models in one place
20:21
because my sister Justine wrote an article about this.
20:25
But the way video is shaping out,
20:26
there's it's unlikely to be like one model to roll them all.
20:29
And so you kind of need to be able to switch between them.
20:32
- That seems true of most of the model spaces, you know?
20:35
Chat models, creative models, even code models
20:38
have their areas of specialization.
20:40
You know, people talk about kind of ergonomics of opus
20:43
versus the accuracy of codecs.
20:45
And that's just, that's a trade-off.
20:47
You have to choose what tool you want to use for which problem.
20:50
- Yeah, absolutely.
20:51
- Sora is really interesting to me
20:54
because it represented both a sort of a big step forward
20:57
in the model, but also a really ambitious experiment
20:59
around social.
21:00
And there was data in the early days of Sora
21:03
like the percentage of people that we're creating,
21:05
which is dramatic, these 10x higher than we'd seen before.
21:08
You know, what's your kind of assessment
21:09
of the Sora social effort versus the model effort?
21:12
And where do you see that going?
21:14
- Sora is so fascinating.
21:15
And I think was a very interesting early experiment
21:19
that I think taught us all a lot about kind of
21:22
both creative tools, but also maybe more importantly
21:24
what consumer social in the AI era might look like.
21:27
So by the numbers, they had a massive launch.
21:29
They were number one on the App Store,
21:31
the US App Store for 20 consecutive days,
21:33
which is very hard to do.
21:34
It means you're probably getting,
21:36
to be number one on the App Store,
21:37
you probably have to get these days
21:38
150,000 daily downloads.
21:40
So it's like a high download volume.
21:42
And they actually hit a million users faster
21:45
than Chachi BT itself.
21:46
So like huge launch.
21:48
And actually, I think what a lot of people underestimate
21:52
is it still is very significant usage.
21:54
So three million dows per sensor tower,
21:57
which is not bad at all.
21:59
What has dropped off about Sora is the new download.
22:02
So there may be,
22:03
they peaked like six million a month in November.
22:05
It's looking like a million and a half now.
22:07
I think that what has really worked about Sora
22:11
is that it's a very good video model.
22:14
And they kind of innovated
22:15
and introduced this concept of cameos,
22:17
which is where a real person
22:19
can grant their likeness to Sora
22:21
so that they and others can generate videos of them.
22:24
So like a lot of people in the early days
22:25
were doing like mean videos of their friends.
22:27
Like Jake Paul went viral
22:29
'cause he was the first big celebrity
22:30
to like lean into Sora.
22:31
So you were seeing like insane Jake Paul videos
22:34
that we wrote.
22:35
Yeah.
22:36
I mean, honestly, good for him.
22:37
Yes, yes.
22:38
I think what worked less about Sora
22:42
is that because the content was exportable,
22:45
people would take it to TikTok.
22:47
They would take it to Instagram Reels.
22:49
They would take it to YouTube.
22:50
And there it competed against the best human made content.
22:54
And so the overall feed experience was just better
22:57
because you were seeing the best of both,
22:59
not just like the best of Sora.
23:00
I don't think we've seen a social product yet succeed.
23:05
That's like entirely AI content.
23:07
The emotional stakes are just feel lower in some ways.
23:11
And so I would imagine we'll see more examples like these
23:14
where Sora still has clearly very, very significant usage
23:18
in revenue as a creative tool,
23:20
but not so much as a social app.
23:21
Right.
23:23
And I don't know if there'll be,
23:24
there probably will be a massive AI native social network,
23:28
but we haven't seen what it looks like just yet, I would say.
23:30
It'll be interesting.
23:31
We discussed this frequently,
23:32
but every social product has a status game.
23:35
Yes.
23:35
Instads, it's maybe be the hottest and on X,
23:38
it's be the most interesting.
23:39
And it felt like the emerging status game on Sora
23:41
was be the funniest.
23:42
Yes.
23:43
And I think this is one of the reasons why it's hard
23:44
for the content to cross over.
23:46
Because it's just two different ways of judging
23:49
what is interesting and great.
23:50
I agree.
23:51
What they might do,
23:53
if I had to imagine where they might find more of a niche,
23:55
they have now inked a bunch of deals
23:57
with big media companies like Disney.
23:59
And so if Sora is the only place where you can make
24:02
like licensed like fan videos of like beloved
24:06
kind of characters and entertainment figures,
24:08
then like that's very interesting.
24:09
Totally.
24:10
But we're early, I think in how that rules out.
24:12
It's so early.
24:13
I know.
24:14
We can say that.
24:15
Yeah.
24:16
We can't have this conversation without talking about agents,
24:18
open claw, manis, genspar, moldbook.
24:22
Give us an overview of what has happened
24:24
in the last 60 days in the world of agents
24:26
and what does a report tell us?
24:27
I think this is mostly why I say the last,
24:29
you know, even six months,
24:31
but actually even two months of this report
24:33
have been like the most interesting
24:35
that I think we've seen.
24:36
So open claw actually, as you'll see,
24:39
is not on our rankings because it blew up in February.
24:42
Our data ends in January.
24:43
But we did pull the data for February.
24:46
And if it had been eligible,
24:48
it would have been number 30 on our web list,
24:50
which is a pretty big debut.
24:53
I think the really interesting thing about open claw
24:55
is the usage has just continued to accelerate
24:58
in the technical community.
24:59
So now it's, I think number one,
25:01
GitHub stars of all time.
25:02
It passed React, it passed Linux.
25:04
Wow, it's a really, really interesting.
25:05
Yes.
25:06
Very impressive.
25:08
But in terms of overall new users,
25:11
it's kind of plateaued.
25:12
So we looked at kind of visits to the get started
25:15
or sign up page.
25:16
And that is kind of flat week over week since early February,
25:20
which I think indicates that like,
25:21
it is an amazing product of your technical.
25:24
It has not yet fully escaped containment
25:27
to non-technical people,
25:28
which of course is like a bigger population.
25:32
They were acquired by OpenAI.
25:33
So if I had to guess,
25:35
or what I'd love to see OpenAI do
25:37
is build like productized open claw
25:39
into something that is usable for a mainstream consumer.
25:43
And I think we've also just seen the ideas
25:46
behind the open claw architecture
25:49
inspire so many other founders.
25:51
Like how many pitches do we take a day
25:53
where the founder is like,
25:54
I want to be open claw for this?
25:55
Absolutely. Open claw made me realize this was possible.
25:58
Yes.
25:59
And so I think we're going to see open claw itself
26:01
will continue to succeed and be a massive product.
26:03
And I'm guessing we'll see more
26:05
kind of like verticalized focus versions
26:07
of open claw for different use cases.
26:09
Yeah, it's so interesting
26:10
because it feels like one of the things
26:11
that makes Open Claw work so well
26:13
is it can operate across all models in all directions.
26:16
And I sort of wonder if it dilutes the value
26:19
of Open Claw to have it be sole model provided
26:21
and therefore it's sort of counterpositioned against labs.
26:24
Totally.
26:25
They've kept it, I think, multi-model for now,
26:27
at least in my usage.
26:28
So we'll see how it trends.
26:29
I think it would be smart to keep it that way for usage.
26:31
But yeah.
26:33
Is Manus the consumer grade open claw
26:35
or how do you distinguish the team?
26:36
Yes, some might say that.
26:38
And I do actually think,
26:39
so Manus made our web list.
26:42
And of course they had a $2 billion plus acquisition
26:46
by Meta also in the course of the list.
26:48
Incredible growth.
26:49
Like the ramp that they reported from like zero
26:52
to 100 million, 200 million ARR in the span of like
26:55
honestly six, nine months is really kind of best in class.
26:59
My view on why Manus was so successful was
27:02
it was really the first consumer grade agent
27:04
that could actually operate fairly autonomously
27:07
across products and platforms.
27:10
So you could connect email, you could have it browse the web.
27:13
And it could make slides, it could make spreadsheets.
27:17
I spent a lot of time in the early days
27:19
trying like this was a year ago Chachi BT operator
27:23
or Google's Project Mariner.
27:25
And none of them were reliable.
27:27
And Manus was a breakthrough in kind of agent reliability
27:30
and agent accessibility for the consumer.
27:33
I think the fact that they did the acquisition
27:35
is interesting in terms of where this is going.
27:39
In that once everyone has that agent capability
27:43
and you might imagine they will
27:45
if it's kind of based on the core underlying models,
27:48
then it's actually if you're such a horizontal product,
27:52
you may be better off with the distribution forces
27:55
of a meta or a Google or something like that
27:59
versus a standalone company.
28:00
That's definitely not true if you're building something
28:02
more vertical, but if you imagine that like Google now
28:06
has the resources to create a Manus,
28:10
then that's a really hard thing to keep fighting against
28:12
as a startup, I think.
28:13
And obviously the big companies have a billion different
28:16
priorities so they're not going to do everything
28:18
best in class.
28:19
But it's why I've generally been a little more cautious
28:22
about the very, very horizontal consumer AI apps
28:26
just because it's probably both in scope
28:28
for the bigger companies.
28:30
And they have the advantage of already having IT approval
28:32
and enterprise contracts and all of that.
28:34
- Right, right, it is interesting that we sort of cross
28:37
this cultural threshold though,
28:39
where Manus seemed like a non-obvious bet
28:43
in terms of just the breadth of the offering.
28:45
And now it seems like they're living in the future
28:47
a little bit.
28:48
- Yes, absolutely.
28:49
They were, it's obviously an incredible engineering team.
28:52
Like the quality of the product was like three,
28:55
six months ahead of the rest of the market,
28:57
which is not easy to do when you're competing with teams
28:59
of like thousands of free searchers.
29:00
- Totally.
29:01
Let's use this to kind of leg into a conversation
29:03
about other horizontal AI products,
29:06
things that live beyond the sort of web window.
29:09
- Yes.
29:10
- What are you saying there?
29:10
- Yeah, that has been a massive theme.
29:12
When I think about the products that I interact with
29:15
on a daily basis in the AI world,
29:17
quite a few of them are actually desktop apps,
29:19
like things like granola, voice dictation tools,
29:22
cloud co-work, those kinds of things.
29:25
And it does become a methodology problem for our report,
29:29
because we can track website visits very well.
29:31
And so we can track the first time
29:33
that they download the desktop app.
29:34
We can track mobile app usage very well.
29:37
We cannot track desktop usage that closely.
29:40
And I think that is increasingly,
29:43
as AI products become more sophisticated,
29:45
having them live in their own dedicated application,
29:48
much of which will run on desktop
29:50
because it can interact with your files
29:51
and it can be more ambient.
29:53
I think that's gonna happen more and more.
29:56
And so I think moving forward, finding us finding ways
29:59
to parallel track ranking these products
30:02
by web and mobile usage, but also by revenue,
30:05
is gonna be a pretty good idea.
30:07
'Cause if you think about things like cursor,
30:09
some of the consumer prosumer AI apps
30:12
that are generating the most revenue
30:13
have very few, very little usage on web.
30:16
It's almost all in kind of a dedicated app.
30:19
- Yeah, it's really interesting.
30:20
It also feels like the fact that opening
30:22
I released Atlas and anthropic released co-work
30:26
shows you where their priorities are.
30:27
- Yes, definitely.
30:28
I fully agree.
30:30
The AI browser debate is his own interesting thing.
30:35
I feel like we're still in the early to mid phases
30:38
of how that's gonna play out.
30:40
And I think the instinct behind an AI native browser
30:43
is right in that if you can have AI be
30:47
kind of always on, always available ambient
30:51
in where you're spending a lot of your time online,
30:54
like that's a good opportunity.
30:56
Perplexity comment, I think actually led the way there.
30:59
- It's a great product.
31:00
- It's a great product.
31:00
And the interesting thing is if you look at
31:03
kind of the highest spike for comment and Atlas
31:06
in terms of visits to the download page,
31:09
comment is five times ahead of Atlas,
31:11
which is wild because Chachi BT's audience is like so massive.
31:15
- No, I miss, yeah.
31:16
- And I think what we've seen is like
31:18
comment and Atlas still have very dedicated,
31:22
excited user bases,
31:24
but for the average consumer,
31:26
the switching cost of a browser is non-trivial,
31:29
just because like you have workflows set up,
31:32
you naturally just open this one app.
31:35
And so it not only has to be like feature parity,
31:37
there has to be one or two features of the AI browser
31:40
that are really killer and that are easy enough
31:43
for the average person to set up and access.
31:45
And I don't think that we've seen that quite yet.
31:48
- You know, it's really interesting
31:49
because Sam said, I think six months ago in a pod,
31:51
you know, somebody was asking him,
31:53
what has surprised you the most?
31:54
And he said, it's that the world hasn't changed more.
31:57
And if you look at the trends around
31:58
how people are using Chachi BT at scale,
32:00
it's still, you know, homework and Google like queries
32:03
and a little bit of companionship,
32:05
in a sense, something like a browser
32:07
that gives you an opportunity
32:08
to point the user in a different direction.
32:10
What's your view on how the average person
32:12
is using AI today?
32:13
- Yeah, I think a couple of things.
32:17
So one, I feel like teenage girls
32:19
are like the best source of what is happening in consumer--
32:22
- You haven't taught me this, yes.
32:23
- What will be happening in consumer?
32:24
If you look at all of the biggest consumer outcomes,
32:26
like they were the early adopters of all of these products.
32:30
And so there was actually a Pew Research Study
32:32
fairly recently on how teenagers are using AI.
32:35
Now finally, I think for the first time,
32:38
over half of them are admitting
32:40
to using it for their homework.
32:41
So the real number is probably like 99.99%
32:44
but some of them didn't wanna get in trouble
32:46
with their parents. - Uh-huh.
32:48
- 38% are now using it for a creative tool.
32:51
So editing images, editing video,
32:53
generating images and video.
32:55
And then this like emerging slightly longer tail,
32:58
but I think will ultimately be amongst the biggest behaviors.
33:02
16% are using it for just like casual conversation,
33:05
like not the intense companion products,
33:08
but like just having somebody to talk to.
33:10
And then 12% are using it for like emotional support
33:13
and advice.
33:14
I think all of these use cases will like asymptote
33:17
around probably 100% ultimately.
33:21
And so those are behaviors that maybe have been less well
33:23
served by products so far and will be going forward,
33:26
whether it's on a chat should be tea
33:27
or whether it's on like a standalone product.
33:30
And then the other big thing that I'm looking out for
33:34
is agents.
33:35
Like I think basically-- - Our teenage girl's gonna use agents.
33:39
Come on. - So here's the thing.
33:40
I think that agents similar to like how in 1990,
33:44
an internet company was like a dot com company, right?
33:47
Or tech company like dot com was its own,
33:49
its own designator. - Right.
33:51
- I think that this is what's gonna happen with agents.
33:53
Where ultimately like every tech company
33:55
was a dot com company.
33:56
Like I think ultimately every AI company
33:58
and then every tech company is going to be an agenda company
34:02
because that's just where the models are headed.
34:05
And if you can deliver outcomes
34:07
and not just kind of inputs to your users
34:10
as a software product, that's so much more compelling.
34:12
So yes, I think 13 year old girls will be using agents
34:15
but they will not think of them as agents.
34:18
But I think it does unlock a lot of these other consumer
34:21
use cases of AI like finance,
34:24
healthcare, travel planning, complex trend shopping even
34:29
where pre-agents, there was just so much data
34:32
you had to go out and grab and do it reliably
34:35
and do it across systems that like wasn't really possible.
34:38
And now it is.
34:39
And so I think we're gonna see an explosion
34:40
of those other use cases in the next few months.
34:43
- How long do you think it takes to play out?
34:45
I mean, is everybody using their own open claw
34:47
in 12 months?
34:48
Is that five years away?
34:49
Is that the wrong mental model?
34:50
Like where when we have this conversation,
34:52
perhaps in six months at the next top 100,
34:55
what does the world look like?
34:57
- I feel like every time I predict something
34:59
it happens much more quickly than I would have thought
35:03
which I think is what we're seeing every day
35:04
and that startups are growing faster than they ever have.
35:08
I think people, they're still the cultural change
35:11
and the cultural adoption will be slower
35:13
than the technology change and what's actually possible.
35:17
And so I think what we'll continue to see
35:19
is this early wave of often technical,
35:23
sometimes not technical AI adopters
35:26
like lead the charge on a behavior
35:28
that then six months later everyone else is doing.
35:30
One good example of this that I'm very, very excited about
35:34
is voice, which we've talked about a lot.
35:36
- We have talked about voice.
35:38
- To me, it's like the most information dense,
35:41
high quality source of basically media that we have.
35:46
Like so much of what you do every day
35:48
is actually downstream or upstream of like what you say.
35:51
And we're, I think for the first time in the past six months
35:55
I've seen first engineers and now other people
35:58
within tech companies adopt things like voice dictation.
36:01
Now it's kind of almost a norm at many companies
36:03
that your meetings are gonna be kind of recorded
36:05
and transcribed by an AI.
36:07
Whether that's voice dictation,
36:10
whether that's like a voice pin that answers questions
36:12
or does tasks for you,
36:14
I think that is going to spread
36:15
to the mainstream consumer in the next six to nine months.
36:19
- Really, really interesting.
36:20
Maybe to close, can you talk a little bit about memory?
36:24
- Yes.
36:24
- Do you see that going?
36:25
- Yes, memories as we mentioned earlier right now
36:29
and it can be a little bit jarring
36:31
in that Claude and Chachi PT in particular
36:35
are very good at this.
36:36
Even Gemini, Google has launched something called
36:38
Personal Intelligence where it now can pull information
36:42
it knows about you from your docs, email, et cetera
36:45
to like serve you better with AI across all of the apps.
36:48
And like I said, it can be a little bit jarring now
36:50
because many people are talking to AI about everything,
36:54
personal and professional.
36:55
And so it can sometimes kind of inadvertently cross the line
36:58
of like what it knows about you
37:00
to try to help you better, but in the wrong context.
37:03
So I think there's a lot of work to do,
37:05
kind of on like the infrastructure side almost
37:07
of like how we sort out who someone is in every context.
37:11
Once that is settled,
37:13
I think that memory will be one of the core advantages
37:17
for AI products,
37:19
whether it's their own memory or like Chachi PT lending memory,
37:24
any product that you start to use two years from now,
37:27
if it doesn't immediately feel like it knows you,
37:30
it will feel broken.
37:31
Like the concept of like onboarding to a product
37:34
should not be something that exists in a couple of years.
37:38
And I think that that is something
37:39
that memory is really gonna enable.
37:40
I see it personally for myself where I talked to AI all day,
37:44
talked to several AIs all day.
37:46
And the way that they interact with me
37:48
and the kind of value that they're able to provide
37:50
has been so much higher two or three months in
37:53
and a days when you start using it.
37:55
- Incredible.
37:56
Well, I don't know what the future holds,
37:57
but it's gonna be weird and wonderful.
37:58
I'm excited for it, yes.
38:00
- Bolivia, thank you so much.
38:01
It was super fun to actually have this conversation today
38:04
and go through the report.
38:05
Any closing comments?
38:06
- No, I'm just excited for people to read it.
38:08
There's a lot of interesting data in there next time
38:10
and I'm sure it will look wildly different six months from now.
38:13
So we'll be back then.
38:14
- Really exciting.
38:15
Well, tell us what you think
38:16
and thanks for checking us out.
38:17
- Thank you.
38:23
