Gemini has access to your Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, Keep, and Tasks, as well as Flights, Hotels, Maps, YouTube, YouTube Music, OpenStax, and of course the entire web more generally.

> Nothing else has access to relevant data.

Simply not true.

Ok, i don't use any of those services outside of gmail/docs/calendar for work. I've never even heard of "flights", "hotels", "keep", "tasks", etc. I do, however, use my phone.

If google wants to access my data, they can. It's just not going to happen through my using their services. They have to ask me for it through the software i've elected to use. The only way to resolve this and make chatbots potentially useful is to coerce apple to open their platform.

At the end of the day, personal context is king for useful AI.

Which means Google or Apple. Or Microsoft on the business side.

Nobody sane is going to share all their personal data (about everything) with a fly-by-night random AI app/company.

Apple has time, in the same way it did with Maps, because despite the marketing push no one is buying phones solely because of AI features these days. They're still an "Oh, that's nice."

They absolutely will if the tech giants refuse to work with each others' data silos.
