A: Hey there! Did you hear about the news?
B: No, what's up?

A: OpenAI announced that apps can now run directly inside ChatGPT! Users can book travel, create playlists, and edit designs without switching between different apps.

B: Wow, that sounds cool! But some people think it could make Apple's App Store obsolete.

A: Yeah, but Apple still has advantages. They control the hardware, operating system, and have more iPhone users globally than ChatGPT does weekly active users.

B: I see... Apple's plan is to change how we use apps on our phone by letting us interact with an overhauled version of Siri and a revamped system that doesn't require tapping as much.

A: Exactly! It's an idea whose time has come because apps are becoming less common ways for users to interact with online services. Now, we're more likely to ask AI assistants or chatbots for recommendations and information instead of launching dedicated apps.

B: So, ChatGPT's app system seems better, but it requires us to engage in a chatbot-style interface to use our apps, right?

A: Yeah, that's the catch. It could require user education to call up an app. But Apple says we'll be able to talk or text Siri to control our apps instead, which sounds easier!

B: But what about switching between apps? Can we still do that with Apple's plan?

A: Not as easily. With ChatGPT, you can interact with one app at a time. But with Apple's plan, they're focusing on improving Siri to let us take actions in our apps, like seeing presenter notes in a slide deck or wishing someone happy birthday on FaceTime.

B: Interesting... It sounds like Apple still has some work to do, but I'm excited to see how it turns out! Thanks for filling me in!
