Last week OpenAI announced “Improvements to data analysis in ChatGPT” where they are exploiting data stored in competitors silos.
These silos has potential value, and they are exploited in some ways by individuals. Education of users in a “different way of doing things” continues.
And again, OpenAI wants to be between User and other competitors:
Why this use case?
Why has OpenAI has picked this use case to offer them directly to the user?
I do not have evidences but I have the intuition that they continue implementing the Innovation, Leverage and Commoditize gameplay.
If you ask:
- Google how to analyse data on spreadsheets there are different solutions offered using Chat-GPT.
- If you “explore GPTs” and look for “google sheet” or “excel”, you obtain a good bunch of wrappers that already offer them.
So again,
As far as I know, this is the second major use case adopted by OpenAI that is killing wrappers and other tools.
