As a bonus, those capabilities don't require uploading your data to the cloud or risking LLM hallucinations.
Yeah except they actively don’t want you to have access to your data. They want you locked in to their shitty platform. And these companies will actually fight your ability to get data out, like Reddit or Twitter when they shut down their public APIs.
I want easily pluggable/connectable systems for everything. I want to see all my messages and all my contacts and all my stuff in interfaces I choose. The future is definitely not searching email, Whatsapp, Signal and Instagram to find the message my friend sent me the other day.
Ignoring that half those services are dependent on the cloud already, this is such a bold and hard problem. A solution would be magical but LLMs are our best chance.
Without clearly defined protocols (eg SMTP, CalDav) and a ton of boring to write and use case specific glue code, you’re really dependent on LLMs to make those M*N connections from one service/format to another. An LLM can turn any current or future input format into any current or future output format. That’s really powerful and basically unsolvable at scale with the tools we have now.
