Apple considers collaboration with Google: Will Gemini AI save Siri?

Yes, we had this talk on Product Hunt countless times, about whether Apple is behind in AI.

Apple is in early talks with Google to potentially use Gemini AI to power a revamped version of Siri, as part of efforts to catch up in generative AI. They have been considering Anthropic s Claude and OpenAI s ChatGPT + testing their own models.

Which platform(s) do you primarily use to share updates, announcements, and news?

Where do you regularly post product updates, company news, announcements, etc. Or do you typically publish those through your blog or website or even chat like Slack? I'm using a mix of a few and am curious which one will be the most active. What has your experience been like? Which platforms have you tried/want to try?

Anyone using a WhatsApp Chatbot for their business? Results?

I ve been researching WhatsApp chatbots for business and tested a few tools. The potential seems huge:

  • 24/7 customer support without hiring

  • Automated lead capture from chats

  • Payments directly in WhatsApp

But I m curious:

  1. For those using one:

Are you building AI to work alongside people… or to quietly replace them?

One interesting thing I came across this week was that the CEO of Duolingo first declared intentions to use AI to replace contract workers in some positions. However, they later withdrew that comment, making it clear that AI will not replace its employees.

Ahh, this type of discrepancy appears to be happening more often, to be honest. The same thing happened to Klarna not long ago. That AI will take care of everything in one minute, and then, hold on: in reality, we still need human workers.
