Google themselves have such a huge footprint of various businesses, that they alone would be an amazing customer for this, never mind all the other cool opportunities from third parties...
Imagine that they can ingest the entirety of YouTube and then dump that into Google Search's index AND use it to generate training data for their next LLM.
Imagine that they can hook it up to your security cameras (Nest Cam), and then ask questions about what happened last night.
Imagine that you can ask Gemini how to do something (eg. fix appliance), and it can go and look up a YouTube video on how to accomplish that ask, and explain it to you.
Imagine that it can apply summarization and descriptions to every photo AND video in your personal Google Photos library. You can ask it to find a video of your son's first steps, or a graduation/diploma walk for your 3rd child (by name) and it can actually do that.
Imagine that Google Meet video calls can have the entire convo itself fed into an LLM (live?), instead of just a transcription. You can have an AI assistant there with you that can interject and discuss, based on both the audio and video feed.
IMO, they aren't sure how to monetize it, Google is run by the ads team.
Problem is they are jeopardizing their moat.
Google is still in a great position, they have the knowledge and lots of data to pull this off. They just have to take the risk of losing some ad revenue for a while.
