Almost all these AI browsers have no business model. Because they traded being Chromium-based with being Chromium-based AND having a financial dependency on AI providers for all the API calls they’re making to power these apps. Because, in the same way, they were not making a browser before, they’re not making the AI part of the AI tools now either.
Manu nailed this. There were at least five parts I wanted to quote from while reading through. Most importantly though, he nails how flawed a lot of the browsers and AI tools from a business standpoint. The goal is, once again, to use predatory pricing to get you hooked, corner the market, and make you reliant. But the viable use-cases are too niche for mass market adoption, as are the actual costs.
