Hard Fork
Our Field Trip to Google I/O + A Sit-Down With Sundar Pichai + System Update

And with these kind of like productivity tools, until they're in your hands, you don't really know if anything has changed in your life or not.

Hard Fork

I mean, I think they care about it.

Hard Fork

I think that they just haven't built it yet.

Hard Fork

You know, fast and cheap is what you talk about when it isn't the best.

Hard Fork

And so that's what we're getting this year.

Hard Fork

But, you know, I am interested in trying these new agents.

Hard Fork

And so I don't know if it's broken or if the AI isn't working or what.

Hard Fork
Our Field Trip to Google I/O + A Sit-Down With Sundar Pichai + System Update

I mean, my real curiosity is, like, which of these agents are going to find true product market fit?

Hard Fork

Like, which is the agent that is going to get a billion users?

Hard Fork

Because we saw them show off what is effectively their version of OpenClaw, which definitely, like, had a big moment earlier this year.

Hard Fork

But it's still not clear to me that that is an actual mainstream use case.

Hard Fork

Like, I have to say, like, of everything they showed off, like, I'm not, like, dying to, like, have, you know, Gemini OpenClaw working overnight on my behalf because I don't know what I would have.

Because you're not doing anything.

Hard Fork

I'm building a bioweapon.

But I don't want to say that in this crowd.

Hard Fork
Our Field Trip to Google I/O + A Sit-Down With Sundar Pichai + System Update

They get sensitive about that sort of thing around here.

Hard Fork

I mean, honestly, the only people that I have talked to are reporters and people who work at Google.
