A. Feature. Is. Not. A. Business.
Your business idea should be about solving a problem for your customers. If the way you package and service your solutions saves the customers time and adds value, it doesn't matter what tools you use. The upgrade from hammers to nailguns did not put construction companies out of business.
Even if OpenAI has a ridiculously good voice/conversation set of features, OpenAI is not going to sign a service contract with a small-to-mid size businesses. That is even if that organization had the technological ability to integrate it into their business.
