1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,500
Josh:
So since the year 1990 that's 35 years

2
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:09,580
Josh:
ago pretty much everyone who's listening to this both of us we've

3
00:00:09,580 --> 00:00:12,420
Josh:
been using an application exclusively for navigating the web

4
00:00:12,420 --> 00:00:15,240
Josh:
and that's the browser right we've all used a web browser before whether

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,180
Josh:
it be chrome or safari or the millions of

6
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:20,940
Josh:
other options that we've used they've all been pretty much

7
00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:23,760
Josh:
the same if you look at a browser from the 1990s versus browser for

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,500
Josh:
today it's really just a url bar and a

9
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:29,440
Josh:
screen and the screen displays the information and that's that's

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,600
Josh:
how we've interacted with the internet forever but just recently

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,520
Josh:
thanks to the invents of ai and all these companies

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,420
Josh:
who are building really interesting applications on top of it we now

13
00:00:38,420 --> 00:00:41,660
Josh:
have a new type of browser an ai browser an agentic browser

14
00:00:41,660 --> 00:00:44,700
Josh:
that will do a lot of the browser tasks for you

15
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:48,220
Josh:
and that's going to be the topic of today's episode is ai browsers

16
00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:52,500
Josh:
it's like the browser you know and love but it is super smart super enhanced

17
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:57,060
Josh:
and we'll do a lot of the tedious work that you normally do all for you ijaz

18
00:00:57,060 --> 00:01:00,980
Josh:
you've been going deep in this world of ai browsers can you can you lay out

19
00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:05,880
Josh:
the space how it's working who's involved what it actually means to be an ai browser i

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,460
Ejaaz:
Was just thinking about um your comment on we've been using browsers for about

21
00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:16,380
Ejaaz:
35 years do you remember the internet explorer days josh where we had to double

22
00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:23,480
Ejaaz:
click this golden or blue e-icon and then kind of wait 10 seconds for it to load.

23
00:01:23,540 --> 00:01:26,840
Ejaaz:
Then we had to manually type in a web address, www.

24
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:30,840
Ejaaz:
And we've just come incredibly far since then.

25
00:01:31,820 --> 00:01:37,300
Ejaaz:
And yeah, to answer your question directly, I think that this is a natural progression

26
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:40,280
Ejaaz:
of where AI needs to be in everyone's lives.

27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,280
Ejaaz:
So to kind of like zoom out for a second, we had this massive explosion when

28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,260
Ejaaz:
GPT-2 or GPT-3 came to life from OpenAI.

29
00:01:49,580 --> 00:01:53,260
Ejaaz:
And it was this magical moment where we had this kind of like chat messenger,

30
00:01:53,260 --> 00:01:57,300
Ejaaz:
and we could ask the smartest person in the room, that being GPT,

31
00:01:57,460 --> 00:01:58,980
Ejaaz:
any question, and it can give us an answer.

32
00:01:59,140 --> 00:02:03,520
Ejaaz:
It can teach us things, it can sometimes do things for us, and connect us in

33
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,980
Ejaaz:
different ways with information.

34
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,740
Ejaaz:
Kind of like how Google did when they created their search engine.

35
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:10,780
Ejaaz:
It became the doorstep to the internet.

36
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,600
Ejaaz:
You know, it's the homepage. It's the thing that everyone opens when they want

37
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,140
Ejaaz:
to search something, interact and socialize, or even buy something, right?

38
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,320
Ejaaz:
So it makes sense that AI is now

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:27,660
Ejaaz:
coming to where most of the context and personal data around someone is.

40
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:32,420
Ejaaz:
And I think if I were to zone in on why I'm so excited about this,

41
00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:34,480
Ejaaz:
Josh, is it's exactly that.

42
00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:36,800
Ejaaz:
I think it's the most publicly accessible.

43
00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:40,630
Ejaaz:
Data set for who you are, right, Josh?

44
00:02:41,090 --> 00:02:44,270
Ejaaz:
Like if you if I go on your browser right now, maybe you can share your screen

45
00:02:44,270 --> 00:02:46,590
Ejaaz:
or whatever that might be. I'm going to see a bunch of different tabs.

46
00:02:46,850 --> 00:02:49,870
Ejaaz:
I'm going to see your Spotify playlist that you're bumping tunes to.

47
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:53,470
Ejaaz:
I'm going to see probably your Amazon list that you're kind of like shopping

48
00:02:53,470 --> 00:02:56,870
Ejaaz:
or shipping items to your apartment, and maybe a bunch of other things.

49
00:02:56,990 --> 00:02:59,050
Ejaaz:
It tells me who Josh is as a person.

50
00:02:59,330 --> 00:03:03,410
Ejaaz:
More so it tells me how he's progressed over the history of time over that day

51
00:03:03,410 --> 00:03:06,950
Ejaaz:
over that week, over the last 90 days with your browser history.

52
00:03:07,210 --> 00:03:12,670
Ejaaz:
So I think embedding AI into the browser experience is that next step up to

53
00:03:12,670 --> 00:03:14,390
Ejaaz:
getting a more personal AI face.

54
00:03:14,890 --> 00:03:17,150
Ejaaz:
Do you agree with that, Josh? Or what are your thoughts?

55
00:03:17,770 --> 00:03:22,010
Josh:
Yeah, I think that sounds right. I am actually a big agent AI browser hater.

56
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:25,550
Josh:
I think we're going to get into that. I agree that it's very cool,

57
00:03:25,790 --> 00:03:27,810
Josh:
but I'm not sure the actual use cases apply.

58
00:03:28,150 --> 00:03:31,490
Josh:
Before we do go there, I want to lay out the landscape of who's actually making

59
00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:34,310
Josh:
these browsers, who is in this space that we're talking about,

60
00:03:34,350 --> 00:03:35,850
Josh:
because there's a notable company missing.

61
00:03:35,950 --> 00:03:38,010
Josh:
So we have Perplexity, which has the Comet browser.

62
00:03:38,250 --> 00:03:42,330
Josh:
We have Microsoft, which has Edge. We have OpenAI, who is probably going to

63
00:03:42,330 --> 00:03:44,070
Josh:
launch one. They've signaled the intention to launch one.

64
00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:47,250
Josh:
And then we have the Dia browser by the browser company.

65
00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:51,470
Josh:
And notably, the one browser we all use, we're all recording this on right now,

66
00:03:51,650 --> 00:03:55,450
Josh:
Chrome, is missing, which is interesting because one of the things that,

67
00:03:55,630 --> 00:03:58,590
Josh:
I mean, the reason why Google became so large, one of the big reasons was the

68
00:03:58,590 --> 00:04:00,090
Josh:
search engine was Google Chrome.

69
00:04:00,370 --> 00:04:04,050
Josh:
And noticeably, they're missing. And when you look at all the search history,

70
00:04:04,190 --> 00:04:07,010
Josh:
the revenue from search that Google makes, it's been down only.

71
00:04:07,390 --> 00:04:11,870
Josh:
And you would imagine from a search company who's built this browser that is

72
00:04:11,870 --> 00:04:15,210
Josh:
the number one company in the world, they'd probably be aiming to build an AI

73
00:04:15,210 --> 00:04:18,570
Josh:
browser, but that's not the case. And I think that's probably...

74
00:04:19,770 --> 00:04:22,330
Josh:
In line with what we're going to talk about later, why we don't like it.

75
00:04:22,450 --> 00:04:25,590
Josh:
But I'm curious if you have any ideas why Google is noticeably missing from

76
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:27,090
Josh:
this group of AI browsers.

77
00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:30,770
Ejaaz:
You know what's hilarious? As you were making that point, Josh,

78
00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:35,170
Ejaaz:
I was trying to come up with a counter example, which was going on Google's search engine.

79
00:04:35,530 --> 00:04:39,330
Ejaaz:
And you know, whenever you search something now, you typically see an AI summary.

80
00:04:39,690 --> 00:04:43,490
Ejaaz:
I was going to try and argue that maybe that was an example of them embedding

81
00:04:43,490 --> 00:04:49,010
Ejaaz:
some form of AI in their browsing experience, even though it's not explicitly

82
00:04:49,010 --> 00:04:51,990
Ejaaz:
Chrome itself, but it's not available.

83
00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:57,210
Ejaaz:
I literally can't have access to it. So it seems like they've regressed.

84
00:04:57,670 --> 00:05:02,610
Ejaaz:
To answer your question more directly, I think they're likely going to release

85
00:05:02,610 --> 00:05:04,810
Ejaaz:
it if I had to hazard a guess.

86
00:05:05,010 --> 00:05:10,270
Ejaaz:
And the reason why I say that is they've been so committed to kind of being

87
00:05:10,270 --> 00:05:12,190
Ejaaz:
on the frontier at the AI model level.

88
00:05:12,190 --> 00:05:18,250
Ejaaz:
So Gemini 2.5 Flash is a frontier model that beats OpenAI's ChatGPT and even

89
00:05:18,250 --> 00:05:20,030
Ejaaz:
Claude when it comes to coding and stuff.

90
00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:24,710
Ejaaz:
Google has been so focused on AI agents as well.

91
00:05:25,230 --> 00:05:28,710
Ejaaz:
And they've also been focused on the scientific side of AI as well,

92
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:32,430
Ejaaz:
which is a realm that none of the other frontier AI labs have even touched.

93
00:05:32,430 --> 00:05:39,890
Ejaaz:
So it kind of seems weird that even though they control 66.5% of the browser market share,

94
00:05:40,970 --> 00:05:44,570
Ejaaz:
it'll seem weird if they don't come out with a product is what i'm saying i

95
00:05:44,570 --> 00:05:48,130
Ejaaz:
don't know i i just feel like it's a waiting game it might come out like next

96
00:05:48,130 --> 00:05:49,270
Ejaaz:
week or something like that totally.

97
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:53,390
Josh:
Uh-huh we'll see well we both have tried an ai browser we both had access to

98
00:05:53,390 --> 00:05:56,590
Josh:
perplexity they gave us access to the comet browser and we had a chance to use

99
00:05:56,590 --> 00:05:59,890
Josh:
it for the last week or two and i would love to hear your impressions because

100
00:05:59,890 --> 00:06:02,230
Josh:
I used it. I tried it. I have some takes.

101
00:06:02,370 --> 00:06:04,910
Josh:
How have you been using it? How have you been liking it? How have you been disliking

102
00:06:04,910 --> 00:06:06,710
Josh:
it? Tell me your personal experience.

103
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:11,050
Ejaaz:
I have a lot to say about this. And I'm keen to actually hear what you say.

104
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:14,050
Ejaaz:
So you described yourself as an AI browser hater.

105
00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:16,190
Ejaaz:
I wouldn't call myself a hater.

106
00:06:16,570 --> 00:06:22,250
Ejaaz:
But I also wouldn't say this is convincing enough to me to ditch Chrome.

107
00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:29,270
Ejaaz:
And to use an AI browser. So as you mentioned, we're using this new AI browser from Perplexity.

108
00:06:29,390 --> 00:06:34,010
Ejaaz:
Perplexity, for those of you who don't know, is like a supercharged AI search engine.

109
00:06:34,170 --> 00:06:38,690
Ejaaz:
And they released this new product called Perplexity Comet, which is their browser.

110
00:06:39,130 --> 00:06:43,750
Ejaaz:
And on this browser, it looks very similar to your Chrome browser or Internet

111
00:06:43,750 --> 00:06:47,070
Ejaaz:
Explorer browser. You can have many different tabs. You have a search history.

112
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:51,670
Ejaaz:
You have a toolbar with different settings and stuff. But with one unique feature,

113
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:56,450
Ejaaz:
which is rather several unique features, which is AI is embedded everywhere you go.

114
00:06:56,630 --> 00:07:01,510
Ejaaz:
That means if you open up a YouTube page, you have a prompt from your little

115
00:07:01,510 --> 00:07:04,330
Ejaaz:
assistant in the bottom right hand corner, which will say, hey,

116
00:07:04,370 --> 00:07:06,870
Ejaaz:
do you want me to summarize this video for you so that you don't have to spend

117
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:08,730
Ejaaz:
30 minutes watching this?

118
00:07:09,770 --> 00:07:13,290
Ejaaz:
Or you can go into a shopping website and say, hey, I can actually sort for

119
00:07:13,290 --> 00:07:16,590
Ejaaz:
you the best deals for what you're looking for, because I read your email because

120
00:07:16,590 --> 00:07:20,590
Ejaaz:
you connected me to your Gmail account. And so I kind of know that your mom

121
00:07:20,590 --> 00:07:23,230
Ejaaz:
shared a list of items for your sister's birthday.

122
00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:28,470
Ejaaz:
And I know that you're on Amazon to check what kind of fleece your sister might want or whatever.

123
00:07:28,650 --> 00:07:32,410
Ejaaz:
That's a terrible example. I would never buy my fleeces off of Amazon.

124
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:34,590
Ejaaz:
But you get the general idea.

125
00:07:35,550 --> 00:07:41,730
Ejaaz:
My high-level takes are as follows. It's great to have an assistant that can

126
00:07:41,730 --> 00:07:46,250
Ejaaz:
summarize long articles and posts for me. And the reason why I say that is I

127
00:07:46,250 --> 00:07:48,890
Ejaaz:
spend a lot of time reading and researching, Josh.

128
00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:51,510
Ejaaz:
We actually do a bunch of that for this show as well, right?

129
00:07:51,850 --> 00:07:58,770
Ejaaz:
And sometimes, actually most of the time, it takes a lot of intense focus and

130
00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:00,070
Ejaaz:
many hours of my day, right?

131
00:08:00,190 --> 00:08:05,030
Ejaaz:
I would say maybe 70% of my working day is spent reading a ton of stuff and trying new things out.

132
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:11,570
Ejaaz:
This does reduce that now to about 20% to 25%, which is a huge reduction.

133
00:08:11,810 --> 00:08:15,150
Ejaaz:
Yeah, I'm spending much less time doing this. And you and I have been using

134
00:08:15,150 --> 00:08:19,650
Ejaaz:
this browser for about, what, a week now, like as our default browser.

135
00:08:19,770 --> 00:08:20,910
Ejaaz:
So it's been super useful.

136
00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:24,970
Ejaaz:
The second thing is, and this is a smaller thing, but I think it's important.

137
00:08:25,230 --> 00:08:32,290
Ejaaz:
I can finally stop copying and pasting links and paragraphs of text and putting

138
00:08:32,290 --> 00:08:36,830
Ejaaz:
it into whatever AI model provider that I'm using, right?

139
00:08:36,830 --> 00:08:42,110
Ejaaz:
So typically the format is I would copy tweet links or article links and put

140
00:08:42,110 --> 00:08:46,810
Ejaaz:
it in Crock 4 or put it in ChatGPT and then say like, hey, like reference these

141
00:08:46,810 --> 00:08:48,050
Ejaaz:
links, summarize this for me.

142
00:08:48,910 --> 00:08:51,130
Ejaaz:
Give me some other types of insights that I might have missed.

143
00:08:51,410 --> 00:08:56,590
Ejaaz:
And it's just, it seems so small and minor, but not being able to do that is

144
00:08:56,590 --> 00:08:57,610
Ejaaz:
way more convenient for me.

145
00:08:57,710 --> 00:09:00,370
Ejaaz:
And I just kind of like, I love kind of leaning into that.

146
00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:07,410
Ejaaz:
The third thing that stood out for me, Josh, is search is just such a better

147
00:09:07,410 --> 00:09:11,250
Ejaaz:
experience now that I have this AI that's always readily available.

148
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,140
Ejaaz:
It's kind of like Google search, but it understands the context behind what

149
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:18,560
Ejaaz:
I'm asking it or why I'm asking it.

150
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,740
Ejaaz:
And that's really been an unlock for me. So an example might be I've been researching

151
00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:28,440
Ejaaz:
a specific technique of how to train AI models.

152
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:31,560
Ejaaz:
This is something I was doing this week where I was trying to figure out how

153
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:35,040
Ejaaz:
China's open source models were so much better than America's,

154
00:09:35,140 --> 00:09:37,700
Ejaaz:
even though they have less resources and all that kind of stuff.

155
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:38,560
Ejaaz:
I was trying to figure this out.

156
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,900
Ejaaz:
And I was kind of like writing notes in my Google Doc, which perplexity had access to.

157
00:09:44,140 --> 00:09:47,320
Ejaaz:
I was kind of like writing up some thoughts. And then I opened up a separate

158
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,940
Ejaaz:
tab to search for a specific term. And it already had it preloaded for me.

159
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:55,820
Ejaaz:
So again, it's like basic little things like this, but I like that it makes

160
00:09:55,820 --> 00:09:57,760
Ejaaz:
me feel comfortable and heard.

161
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,340
Ejaaz:
But that's my take. Well, what about you, Josh?

162
00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:06,040
Josh:
Did you? I've, yeah, I used it. No, I signed up for the, we got an invite code.

163
00:10:06,140 --> 00:10:08,420
Josh:
I signed up. It was the most gorgeous onboarding experience.

164
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:10,400
Josh:
I have ever had. It was designed incredibly.

165
00:10:10,660 --> 00:10:14,900
Josh:
You type in your code, it unlocks this really fancy screed, it has nice music

166
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:17,080
Josh:
playing in the background, you choose your profiles, it was gorgeous.

167
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,360
Josh:
And then I opened it up and it's the same as pretty much every other browser.

168
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,320
Josh:
In terms of how I used it, I actually used this example that we have on screen

169
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,200
Josh:
right now, which one of the interesting things about the AI browser versus a

170
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,880
Josh:
traditional LLM that we would use

171
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,360
Josh:
like ChatGPT is it doesn't have all the integrations that a browser has.

172
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:38,940
Josh:
So you can connect this AI browser, or in this case, Comet, to your Gmail and

173
00:10:39,490 --> 00:10:42,350
Josh:
and actually have it interact with your email for you on your behalf.

174
00:10:42,690 --> 00:10:47,670
Josh:
So this example here and what I tried is I get a decent amount of emails that

175
00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:50,930
Josh:
I'm subscribed to from something I bought one time or from a community that

176
00:10:50,930 --> 00:10:52,370
Josh:
I used to be part of that I don't really care about.

177
00:10:52,650 --> 00:10:55,630
Josh:
And you can just kind of ask it to pull the list of everything you're subscribed

178
00:10:55,630 --> 00:10:57,850
Josh:
to, and then choose the ones that you want to unsubscribe to.

179
00:10:58,010 --> 00:11:00,110
Josh:
And it will do all of the work of doing that for you.

180
00:11:00,290 --> 00:11:03,210
Josh:
So immediately after a few minutes of trying this and a few prompts,

181
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:07,250
Josh:
I was able to clear out my inbox from maybe 20 of these garbage emails a day

182
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:09,870
Josh:
to maybe just like three or four of the ones I actually want to receive.

183
00:11:10,070 --> 00:11:13,850
Josh:
And that was really cool to me. So in that case, it's really interesting because

184
00:11:13,850 --> 00:11:17,250
Josh:
it has the access to integrations that other LLMs don't necessarily have,

185
00:11:17,390 --> 00:11:18,770
Josh:
like ChatGPT, like Grok.

186
00:11:18,890 --> 00:11:22,870
Josh:
They exist in the silo, whereas this is kind of embedded across the entire browser

187
00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:24,610
Josh:
experience. So in that case, it was good.

188
00:11:24,930 --> 00:11:27,210
Josh:
I really enjoyed the browser.

189
00:11:27,610 --> 00:11:31,530
Josh:
Outside of that, it felt very much just like a normal browser.

190
00:11:31,830 --> 00:11:36,850
Josh:
And it was mostly annoying that I just had to re-log into all my accounts again to do the same thing.

191
00:11:36,990 --> 00:11:42,210
Josh:
So I went to YouTube and I uploaded a video for this channel and I went to our

192
00:11:42,210 --> 00:11:44,990
Josh:
RSS platform and I upload and I was doing the normal things I do.

193
00:11:45,090 --> 00:11:47,950
Josh:
And what I realized is I really don't

194
00:11:47,950 --> 00:11:51,670
Josh:
use the browser for all that many interesting things that require AI.

195
00:11:51,970 --> 00:11:57,190
Josh:
When I want to use AI, I go to a tool Optimize for AI to kind of abstract away

196
00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:58,950
Josh:
the complexities of having to use a browser.

197
00:11:59,110 --> 00:12:01,870
Josh:
So when I want to learn about something, primarily I use Grok for

198
00:12:01,870 --> 00:12:04,870
Josh:
that because grok has the live real-time information

199
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:07,870
Josh:
from x which is normally where i consume most of my information anyway

200
00:12:07,870 --> 00:12:10,470
Josh:
and i just have it pull all the aggregated data that i

201
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:14,170
Josh:
want for me versus actually going and trying to find it and as i'm going through

202
00:12:14,170 --> 00:12:17,930
Josh:
these use cases of how i use a browser there's less and less that are actually

203
00:12:17,930 --> 00:12:21,110
Josh:
interesting i think when people use browsers since the beginning of time they've

204
00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:24,970
Josh:
used them for two things right it's like for productivity and for leisure and

205
00:12:24,970 --> 00:12:29,790
Josh:
when you're doing work you just kind of interact with these specific apps in the browser.

206
00:12:29,970 --> 00:12:34,550
Josh:
So you're using an Excel spreadsheet or you're doing whatever, like uploading a video.

207
00:12:34,690 --> 00:12:38,110
Josh:
And then in leisure, you're kind of shopping for something. You're looking through

208
00:12:38,110 --> 00:12:41,250
Josh:
clothes. You're watching a YouTube video. You're consuming media.

209
00:12:41,650 --> 00:12:45,950
Josh:
And on the leisure end, there's no way that AI can supplement that.

210
00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:50,650
Josh:
And then on the productivity end, well, you kind of want AI to exclusively supplement that.

211
00:12:50,750 --> 00:12:53,750
Josh:
And you don't want to have to deal with all these annoying interfaces or scraping

212
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:54,990
Josh:
data or getting that information.

213
00:12:55,130 --> 00:12:58,750
Josh:
So it puts this browser in kind of a weird spot where I was using it for a few days.

214
00:12:58,870 --> 00:13:02,270
Josh:
I was excited about using it for a few days. And then I just kind of didn't

215
00:13:02,270 --> 00:13:03,910
Josh:
really have a need to use it anymore.

216
00:13:04,430 --> 00:13:10,450
Josh:
I do a lot of the thinking and the analyzing in Grok. I do a lot of the productivity work in ChatGPT.

217
00:13:10,650 --> 00:13:13,450
Josh:
And then I just watch YouTube videos on YouTube using the Chrome browser that's

218
00:13:13,450 --> 00:13:14,910
Josh:
worked for the last 30 years.

219
00:13:15,390 --> 00:13:18,830
Josh:
So that's kind of where it's been weird with the AI agents is it seems cool,

220
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:23,530
Josh:
but I'm not sure there's any sustainable use cases that are very exciting.

221
00:13:23,790 --> 00:13:25,550
Ejaaz:
Do you, do you agree, disagree?

222
00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:32,060
Ejaaz:
Yeah. I mean, last week we spoke about OpenAI's new agent, right?

223
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:37,720
Ejaaz:
And one of the main takeaways from that episode was, this agent's pretty cool,

224
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,480
Ejaaz:
but it's not really adding much value to my life right now.

225
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:50,380
Ejaaz:
Sure, I can jump into my Gmail account and read a bunch of my docs, but okay, and then what?

226
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,140
Ejaaz:
Sure, I can research a bunch of clothes that I might want to buy, but then what?

227
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,800
Ejaaz:
It doesn't buy anything for me. And I feel like this is the same type of case here, right?

228
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:05,940
Ejaaz:
Where you've added a solution to a place where maybe you don't actually quite need it, right?

229
00:14:06,380 --> 00:14:11,580
Ejaaz:
But I want to spend a bit of time arguing what this could be versus what it is right now.

230
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:16,720
Ejaaz:
Because I agree largely with you that it is not as useful as I'd want it to be.

231
00:14:17,060 --> 00:14:20,380
Ejaaz:
And I really think you make a good point around the leisure side of things.

232
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,920
Ejaaz:
But I want to kind of like think about what this might end up becoming if we

233
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,140
Ejaaz:
imagine that everyone's going to have some form of AI agent or companion in the future, right?

234
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,440
Ejaaz:
So number one, I think the personal

235
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,540
Ejaaz:
AI assistant is going to be a hugely valuable market going forwards.

236
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,320
Ejaaz:
I don't quite know how it's going to manifest.

237
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,800
Ejaaz:
My idea is it's probably going to be on the work side of things.

238
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,600
Ejaaz:
So there's going to be an enterprise-heavy presence of AI agents.

239
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,060
Ejaaz:
And we're already seeing that already, where they kind of like plug into your

240
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:56,740
Ejaaz:
workspace, your Slack, and they allow you to do a bunch of things.

241
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,120
Ejaaz:
Right now, they kind of suck.

242
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,220
Ejaaz:
But eventually, I'm guessing it's going to get better, and it's going to get more intuitive.

243
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:08,200
Ejaaz:
The second thing is, there's this trend, Josh, where I think we're stepping

244
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:16,440
Ejaaz:
away from a lot of the actions that we've grown so used to over the last decade, which is scrolling,

245
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,900
Ejaaz:
searching for different apps, downloading apps,

246
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,980
Ejaaz:
tapping the screen, and typing letters.

247
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,760
Ejaaz:
I think this progression is going to become something more automable where we're

248
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,240
Ejaaz:
going to be speaking into a microphone and we just kind of like look at things

249
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:39,040
Ejaaz:
or AI guesses what we already want before we even get there, right?

250
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,120
Ejaaz:
There's going to be this like autonomous kind of flow of things.

251
00:15:42,260 --> 00:15:44,780
Ejaaz:
I don't think we're there. I think this is a stepping stone.

252
00:15:44,780 --> 00:15:50,060
Ejaaz:
I do not think browsers right now are like a 10x improvement over what we had before.

253
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,980
Ejaaz:
So I'm with you. Like, I'm just going to use Google Chrome for now.

254
00:15:53,220 --> 00:15:54,760
Ejaaz:
But it's a good shot on goal.

255
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,780
Josh:
To me, if I'm talking to Perplexity's CEO, which we are talking to in a few

256
00:15:59,780 --> 00:16:04,200
Josh:
weeks, I think the idea is why on earth are you spending so much resources in

257
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,300
Josh:
this intermediary step?

258
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:08,360
Josh:
Because it feels like the end state of this is fully agentic,

259
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,060
Josh:
fully obfuscating away all of the complexities of the browser.

260
00:16:11,260 --> 00:16:14,600
Josh:
You want something, the agent goes out and gets it to you and delivers it to you.

261
00:16:14,820 --> 00:16:18,660
Josh:
And this is kind of this middle ground that isn't quite there.

262
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,960
Josh:
And it's not fully leaning into agent. If we had to compare the agent episode

263
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,220
Josh:
that we had last week to this week, it feels like open AI directionally is actually

264
00:16:26,220 --> 00:16:29,760
Josh:
in a much better position because that agent, you can see an end game there

265
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,880
Josh:
where it kind of stinks now, but it's the right form factor.

266
00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:37,420
Josh:
And it has the ability, it has the openness to do that. Whereas the browser is very constrained.

267
00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:42,500
Josh:
I mean, their entire industry is dedicated to unifying user interfaces across

268
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:44,600
Josh:
the internet, just so it's easy for humans to do that.

269
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,460
Josh:
And there's so much unnecessary complexity when it comes to this 35 year old

270
00:16:49,460 --> 00:16:52,420
Josh:
interface that was built for a world that is totally different than today.

271
00:16:52,620 --> 00:16:55,500
Josh:
So the constraints that existed in the 90s that we're still using today,

272
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,800
Josh:
they no longer exist. And it feels a little lazy to just keep the same interface

273
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,540
Josh:
and throw an AI agent on top of it when you could really redesign this thing from the ground up.

274
00:17:04,660 --> 00:17:09,460
Josh:
You can really truly have an agent first world that doesn't require you to interface

275
00:17:09,460 --> 00:17:13,660
Josh:
with any sort of browser like this at all. So I think that's the place that I'm

276
00:17:13,660 --> 00:17:15,660
Ejaaz:
Excited to go. What would that look like to you, Josh?

277
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,900
Josh:
Yeah, it's probably either...

278
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:22,120
Josh:
The earbuds in my ear or the little hardware piece that I have.

279
00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:25,980
Josh:
And it knows everything about me. It spends time with me. It understands what

280
00:17:25,980 --> 00:17:27,500
Josh:
I like to do. It has my whole preference stack.

281
00:17:27,620 --> 00:17:30,760
Josh:
And when I want something or I want to know something, it has all the context

282
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,520
Josh:
to solve the problem for me and it can go and do it.

283
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,520
Josh:
And then in the case there's any clarifying questions, we can clarify,

284
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,080
Josh:
but it's really just a personal assistant that is fully capable of engaging

285
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,200
Josh:
with the world the same way a human would be.

286
00:17:42,420 --> 00:17:45,700
Josh:
And that to me feels like the final form of this agent.

287
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,320
Ejaaz:
So I'm hearing a few things. Number one, you think this is going to be a different

288
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,640
Ejaaz:
form factor completely.

289
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,980
Ejaaz:
So maybe not looking at a browser or maybe not even looking at a screen at all,

290
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:00,560
Ejaaz:
but maybe it might be some kind of earbuds, as you said, we're kind of like

291
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,920
Ejaaz:
opined on what the new hardware device that OpenAI is rumored to be building

292
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,220
Ejaaz:
with Johnny Ive is going to be.

293
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:09,080
Ejaaz:
Maybe it's something that sits on your desk and listens and sees everything

294
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,880
Ejaaz:
that you can see. But that's one thing, a different form factor.

295
00:18:12,340 --> 00:18:16,280
Ejaaz:
Number two, it sounds like you're describing a very multimodal world,

296
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:17,480
Ejaaz:
which I agree with, right?

297
00:18:17,660 --> 00:18:22,340
Ejaaz:
So it's not just something that can understand text, but it's something that

298
00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:24,340
Ejaaz:
can see, that is very visual.

299
00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:28,660
Ejaaz:
It's something that can hear the same things that you hear, and that understands

300
00:18:28,660 --> 00:18:31,180
Ejaaz:
the context of conversations that you're having with other people,

301
00:18:31,180 --> 00:18:34,100
Ejaaz:
or why you do different things in the world, right?

302
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,560
Ejaaz:
So it's kind of expanding from your digital presence to also be aware of your

303
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:39,840
Ejaaz:
physical presence, right?

304
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,840
Ejaaz:
And then the third thing that I'm hearing from you, Josh, is we're just kind

305
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:49,200
Ejaaz:
of at that midway point where we kind of have something or we're throwing a

306
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,400
Ejaaz:
bunch of AI slop at the wall and hoping something sticks,

307
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,300
Ejaaz:
but it's not cohesive right now.

308
00:18:55,360 --> 00:19:01,440
Ejaaz:
We just have this like cool AI chatbot and we've slapped it with a bunch of tool access, but

309
00:19:01,810 --> 00:19:06,030
Ejaaz:
it none of the none of the cogs work together none of them match so we just

310
00:19:06,030 --> 00:19:11,630
Ejaaz:
kind of have this really clunky kind of machine am i kind of like painting the picture accurately.

311
00:19:11,630 --> 00:19:15,390
Josh:
Yeah there's two approaches right there's one approach that is the open-ended

312
00:19:15,390 --> 00:19:19,150
Josh:
one that open ai is taking and then there's the constrained approach that perplexity

313
00:19:19,150 --> 00:19:21,790
Josh:
is taking where we're just going to take this browser experience and make it

314
00:19:21,790 --> 00:19:24,530
Josh:
a little bit better and the other side is hey we're just going to throw away

315
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:27,250
Josh:
the entire browser experience because that no longer matters and we're going

316
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:29,390
Josh:
to redesign it from the ground up using this new intelligence.

317
00:19:29,730 --> 00:19:34,310
Josh:
And I think that's kind of the fork in the road that I see. And Perplexity has

318
00:19:34,310 --> 00:19:37,290
Josh:
taken one, as well as all the other companies that have made an AI browser.

319
00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:40,610
Josh:
And then I would imagine Google, who hasn't released a browser,

320
00:19:40,770 --> 00:19:41,810
Josh:
is probably considering this.

321
00:19:42,170 --> 00:19:46,610
Josh:
OpenAI has done this. And they're kind of taking the way that feels like it

322
00:19:46,610 --> 00:19:50,130
Josh:
has an end game, where if you apply a lot more intelligence to a browser,

323
00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:52,330
Josh:
I'm not sure how much better it gets.

324
00:19:52,490 --> 00:19:55,670
Josh:
But if you apply a ton of intelligence to an open-ended agent, well,

325
00:19:55,850 --> 00:19:58,750
Josh:
that's scalable to infinity it can get infinitely more powerful

326
00:19:58,750 --> 00:20:02,430
Josh:
it's not constrained to any sort of interface it can build its own it can generate

327
00:20:02,430 --> 00:20:07,150
Josh:
its whatever it needs so just in terms of structurally speaking it feels as

328
00:20:07,150 --> 00:20:12,510
Josh:
if the agent is is the more probable outcome to win whereas a lot of these companies

329
00:20:12,510 --> 00:20:17,810
Josh:
are choosing the easy win quickly which is just oh here's a browser but ai okay

330
00:20:17,810 --> 00:20:23,490
Ejaaz:
I i don't know if i completely agree because i think a lot of these browser

331
00:20:23,490 --> 00:20:25,870
Ejaaz:
experiences are just going to become agentic.

332
00:20:26,110 --> 00:20:29,430
Ejaaz:
And I guess we should define what we're talking about here.

333
00:20:29,910 --> 00:20:34,910
Ejaaz:
I guess a browser experience with AI is you log on to your browser and then

334
00:20:34,910 --> 00:20:40,370
Ejaaz:
there's a bunch of summary tools or an AI search engine embedded in there.

335
00:20:40,550 --> 00:20:46,030
Ejaaz:
But something that's more agentic is something that can not only understand

336
00:20:46,030 --> 00:20:50,150
Ejaaz:
what you're asking, but then perform actions for you all autonomously in a loop,

337
00:20:50,490 --> 00:20:53,130
Ejaaz:
intuitively, maybe not in a loop, but open-ended.

338
00:20:53,130 --> 00:20:56,270
Ejaaz:
It can solve open-ended problems whilst you're sleeping or whatever that might be, right?

339
00:20:56,990 --> 00:21:00,410
Ejaaz:
And I think that eventually every browser is heading that way.

340
00:21:00,590 --> 00:21:05,110
Ejaaz:
And the reason why I'm convinced of this is something that I opened up the video

341
00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:07,770
Ejaaz:
with, which is that it has the most personal data set for you.

342
00:21:07,870 --> 00:21:12,570
Ejaaz:
The reason why OpenAI and ChatGPT is so sticky is because it knows so much about

343
00:21:12,570 --> 00:21:14,250
Ejaaz:
me, in my opinion, right?

344
00:21:14,410 --> 00:21:17,010
Ejaaz:
So I keep going back to it because I'm like, okay, it understands the context

345
00:21:17,010 --> 00:21:18,150
Ejaaz:
of what I'm about to ask it.

346
00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:22,570
Ejaaz:
If you think about it, browser is the next natural moat for that,

347
00:21:22,710 --> 00:21:26,910
Ejaaz:
right? Especially if you're trying to unlock AI that can do things for you.

348
00:21:27,070 --> 00:21:30,170
Ejaaz:
Where do you do most of your things? It's probably on the browser or probably

349
00:21:30,170 --> 00:21:33,110
Ejaaz:
on your phone, on your browser or via an app or whatever that might be.

350
00:21:33,390 --> 00:21:35,630
Ejaaz:
So I'm guessing that's probably where we're headed.

351
00:21:36,450 --> 00:21:40,630
Josh:
Okay, well, we will see. I want to dive into some examples so people who are

352
00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:43,490
Josh:
listening can actually see how they can use this today and what type of interesting

353
00:21:43,490 --> 00:21:45,170
Josh:
things people have been experimenting with.

354
00:21:45,290 --> 00:21:48,310
Josh:
I see you have a couple you've pulled up. Can you walk us through examples of

355
00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:49,710
Josh:
how people are actually using this tech today?

356
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:55,180
Ejaaz:
Okay, so this is one, I think he's using perplexity on this one.

357
00:21:55,340 --> 00:21:57,960
Ejaaz:
This is actually something that I did. It looked very familiar.

358
00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:03,980
Ejaaz:
So in this video here, he's basically trying to create some form of a travel

359
00:22:03,980 --> 00:22:06,120
Ejaaz:
guide for the city that he's in. He's in Washington.

360
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,080
Ejaaz:
And he's like, okay, hey, I want

361
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,800
Ejaaz:
to go on a walk and see some of the major monuments and blah, blah, blah.

362
00:22:12,380 --> 00:22:17,980
Ejaaz:
Again, like, I feel like you could just Google search this and find like a million

363
00:22:17,980 --> 00:22:19,040
Ejaaz:
different forums that could do it.

364
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,100
Ejaaz:
But I like that it's embedded into the app itself, so that I don't need to go

365
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:28,720
Ejaaz:
to a forum, find someone's random Google Maps that they're willing to share

366
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,400
Ejaaz:
with me, and then come back to this Google Maps app and it opens it up.

367
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,200
Ejaaz:
Instead, it's all embedded into the application layer, which I like,

368
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,160
Ejaaz:
and it saves me time. Not groundbreaking, but something that's pretty useful, right?

369
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,880
Ejaaz:
We have something here, which is something that I've just seen a lot of the

370
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:50,660
Ejaaz:
agent demos do, Josh, which is like, hey, I have a cluttering of random emails. Love. Yeah.

371
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:57,160
Ejaaz:
Please unsubscribe for me, and we can just get on with my life and reduce my

372
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,340
Ejaaz:
spam to basically zero, inbox to zero.

373
00:22:59,940 --> 00:23:02,860
Ejaaz:
And this is something that he demonstrates here. I tried this out as well,

374
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,260
Ejaaz:
and I think you did as well, Josh.

375
00:23:04,540 --> 00:23:08,120
Ejaaz:
And it takes a couple of seconds, right? So you basically, two clicks,

376
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Ejaaz:
you connect PopXD to your Gmail account or whatever email account you use,

377
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,200
Ejaaz:
and then you write a prompt in the search bar being like, hey,

378
00:23:15,300 --> 00:23:19,580
Ejaaz:
I just want to get rid of all my spam emails, and it does all of that subsequently.

379
00:23:20,220 --> 00:23:23,560
Ejaaz:
This is something that I feel like you and I could use sometime.

380
00:23:24,020 --> 00:23:28,880
Ejaaz:
Josh, I didn't actually try this, but creating content ideas for your YouTube channel.

381
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:35,000
Ejaaz:
The difference between opening up a conversation with ChatGPT and saying,

382
00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:36,440
Ejaaz:
hey, I'm a video creator,

383
00:23:36,660 --> 00:23:41,120
Ejaaz:
can you tell me more about some ideas that I could potentially produce versus

384
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:46,320
Ejaaz:
this is it actually scans your YouTube page itself whilst you're actually on it.

385
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,920
Ejaaz:
Again, I don't think this is a novel experience because you could technically

386
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:56,060
Ejaaz:
just copy and paste the link to your YouTube page into ChatGPT, do the same analysis.

387
00:23:56,260 --> 00:24:01,480
Ejaaz:
Maybe it takes three extra clicks or prompts, but you kind of get there at the end of the day.

388
00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:05,560
Ejaaz:
And then this is an example that I keep seeing pop up, Josh,

389
00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:10,300
Ejaaz:
because OpenAI demonstrated it during their live demo for their new agent release, which is,

390
00:24:10,940 --> 00:24:14,580
Ejaaz:
hey can you go through my LinkedIn network accept any

391
00:24:14,580 --> 00:24:18,060
Ejaaz:
kind of requests that you think would be useful towards furthering my career

392
00:24:18,060 --> 00:24:22,300
Ejaaz:
and also maybe reach out to a bunch of people that I might want to connect with

393
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:27,420
Ejaaz:
in the future it's not quite at that capability it's still kind of like whatever

394
00:24:27,420 --> 00:24:31,100
Ejaaz:
I'm not really shocked by this but I'm guessing it's useful for some.

395
00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:36,980
Ejaaz:
And the final one which is something that Perplexity keeps kind of like talking

396
00:24:36,980 --> 00:24:42,080
Ejaaz:
about is the fact that it has awareness of all the tabs that you have open.

397
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,360
Ejaaz:
I don't know about you, but I have probably around, I'm kind of like taking

398
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:50,840
Ejaaz:
a scroll here, but like three different tabs open.

399
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,920
Ejaaz:
And they're all pertaining to different things, right? And sometimes I lose

400
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,260
Ejaaz:
tabs or most of the time I just forget about a bunch of tabs and why I need to use it.

401
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:03,780
Ejaaz:
And they just kind of like remain dormantly open, praying that I reopen them again, right?

402
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,640
Ejaaz:
What we have here is he's kind of like looking for different bike products that he wants to buy.

403
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,340
Ejaaz:
He has a series of tabs open on different windows and all that kind of stuff.

404
00:25:13,620 --> 00:25:17,440
Ejaaz:
And what he does is he just goes to the search, sorry, the chat interface for

405
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,740
Ejaaz:
complexity and puts in his request saying like, okay, right,

406
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,520
Ejaaz:
now I need to figure out what model of bike that I want to buy.

407
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:26,720
Ejaaz:
What kind of parts do I need for it? I'm going on this particular trip.

408
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:29,320
Ejaaz:
It's going to be, whatever, 150 miles.

409
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,580
Ejaaz:
Help me sort this out. And it kind of like leads him in a step-by-step process.

410
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,440
Ejaaz:
Again, none of these kind of get me upright in bed.

411
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,140
Ejaaz:
Do you know what I mean? I'm not kind of like, yeah, this and being like,

412
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,760
Ejaaz:
wow, you know what? This is magical.

413
00:25:44,060 --> 00:25:48,580
Ejaaz:
This isn't like an whole iOS moment or, you know, an Apple Watch moment where

414
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:49,760
Ejaaz:
I'm like, oh, wow, it's a new device.

415
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:52,620
Ejaaz:
It's a new thing. So, yeah, I'm just kind of like left...

416
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,820
Ejaaz:
Unsurprised i guess.

417
00:25:54,820 --> 00:25:59,500
Josh:
So i guess to wrap this up i have one more question for you which is a year

418
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:03,400
Josh:
from now what do you think you are primarily using to interface with the internet

419
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:08,180
Josh:
is it going to be one of these browsers or is it going to be an ai tool like

420
00:26:08,180 --> 00:26:10,900
Josh:
chat gpt like rock like gemini what's

421
00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:11,420
Ejaaz:
The time frame.

422
00:26:11,420 --> 00:26:16,660
Josh:
A year from today what do you think you'll will be more powerful to use i

423
00:26:16,660 --> 00:26:21,120
Ejaaz:
Will not be looking at a laptop josh if i'm looking at a laptop by that time

424
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:23,360
Ejaaz:
we have completely and utterly failed.

425
00:26:23,740 --> 00:26:28,480
Ejaaz:
So I expect by that time to have some different kind of form factor where it's

426
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,240
Ejaaz:
just my eyes and I see everything that I need to that is digital.

427
00:26:33,460 --> 00:26:35,920
Ejaaz:
I hear everything that I need to. If I want to watch a YouTube video,

428
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,300
Ejaaz:
I kind of like look in a particular direction and it pops it open.

429
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:45,240
Ejaaz:
I hear it. If I want to call my friend, I'm just one to two taps away from doing that.

430
00:26:45,340 --> 00:26:48,360
Ejaaz:
Or I just say, can you call Josh, please? I need to talk to him about A,

431
00:26:48,460 --> 00:26:51,000
Ejaaz:
B, and C. And it just does that. So it's not a browser.

432
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,780
Josh:
Okay. Yeah, I feel the same way. I don't imagine a world in which browsers are

433
00:26:55,780 --> 00:27:00,160
Josh:
exciting, but I am very excited to ask the person who's making this about why

434
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,600
Josh:
he is investing so much time,

435
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,520
Josh:
energy, effort, money into building this browser, because we are having the

436
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,000
Josh:
CEO for Plexi coming on in a few weeks.

437
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:11,460
Josh:
We are going to talk to him about exactly this, and we're going to hear the

438
00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:14,280
Josh:
rebuttal from the person who is actually responsible for making this happen.

439
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,840
Josh:
So I know, Ejaz, I'm certainly excited. I'm sure you are too.

440
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,480
Josh:
I cannot wait for that episode. But in the meantime, we'll be dabbling.

441
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:24,820
Josh:
I'll be trying to find more interesting use cases, more fun things to use the browser for.

442
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,440
Josh:
If anyone else gets an opportunity to try it, please share in the comments.

443
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,660
Josh:
Let us know what you think about the browser. Are we just missing the plot?

444
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,100
Josh:
Is there something that we're not seeing because this is some amazing new tech?

445
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,240
Josh:
Or is it actually just like, well, it's Chrome with like an AI extension built on top of it.

446
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,520
Josh:
So we'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks as always for listening.

447
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:43,160
Josh:
If you enjoyed the episode, please share.

448
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,800
Josh:
If you have any nerdy friends that you want to impress, send them this podcast.

449
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,920
Josh:
It's pretty cool. We have a good time here. So as always thank you for watching

450
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,360
Josh:
we'll have another episode coming later this week and we will talk to you guys in the next one
