And they think AI is changing the shape of software. So that people will no longer ever go to websites. They will never use apps on their phone. The entry point for most digital interaction, much like the entry point today is either like a phone or a computer or a browser, the entry point will be an AI.
And so whoever owns the devices is in the best place to put the AI in front of the user and they will win.
