In the AI industry, the world changes not in a week, but in the blink of an eye.
This week was no exception, with a flood of dizzying news.
OpenAI launched something new again, Google countered with a new app, and a little-known automation tool received a 250 billion won investment.
If you just skim these headlines, they might seem like simple IT gossip. But if you can read the underlying shifts in the landscape, you'll see incredible opportunities.
Today, through the eyes of a PM with six years in an AI startup, I will completely dissect the essence of the three most important events of this week.
Hello, this is Callit AI, bringing you raw productivity for the AI native.
First event: OpenAI's relaunch of ChatGPT Apps. What's their real motive?
If you're thinking, "Huh? Isn't that the thing that came out as GPTs and failed?" you're half right and half wrong.
The old GPTs were more about sharing chatbots we created with others, like a marketplace for well-crafted prompts. But these new Apps are on a whole different level.
Now, right within the ChatGPT chat window, we can install and run services from external companies as if they were apps.
For example, while talking to ChatGPT, you can say, "Create three design drafts in Canva based on what we just discussed," and ChatGPT will immediately call the Canva app to create the designs.
From a PM's perspective, what does this mean?
This is OpenAI blatantly revealing its ambition to become more than just a smart chatbot. They want to be a massive platform where all services converge, just like Apple's App Store or Google's Play Store.
They are essentially saying, "Users, stop switching between different apps. Just solve everything with a single command inside our ChatGPT."
It's a formidable strategy to completely lock users into their ecosystem.
So, what opportunities does this present for solo entrepreneurs or small teams like us?
A huge opportunity. We no longer need to spend billions to build a separate app. A path has opened up to implement our ideas as apps—and even monetize them—on ChatGPT, one of the highest-traffic platforms in the world. The person who creates the most useful mini-app within ChatGPT could become the winner of this new market.
Second event: Google's counterattack, the launch of the AI 'vibe-coding' app, Opal.
As OpenAI moved to expand its ecosystem, Google, of course, didn't just stand by.
Google has launched an AI 'vibe-coding' app called Opal.
Opal is still in a limited preview, so its exact nature is shrouded in mystery. However, based on the information released so far, it seems to be a service that generates working code from text-based ideas, similar to tools like v0.dev or Tempo that we often discuss on our channel.
From a PM's perspective, this move by Google is very significant.
Google isn't trying to dominate the market with a single powerful model like OpenAI. They are using a strategy of pulling both developers and users into their ecosystem through a multitude of tools like Android, Google Workspace, and now, Opal.
It's a clear sign that, much like the mobile war between Apple and Google, the AI market is evolving beyond a battle of model performance into a battle of ecosystems.
Third event: Automation tool n8n secures a $180 million investment.
Lastly, and this might be the most important news of all today.
A company with a somewhat unfamiliar name, n8n, has raised a staggering $180 million (approximately 250 billion Korean won) in its Series C funding round.
n8n is a tool, like Zapier, that connects various apps to automate workflows. But why is so much money pouring into a market where a giant like Zapier already exists?
n8n's differentiator is that it's open-source and allows for much more complex and sophisticated, developer-level automation than Zapier.
From a PM's perspective, the message this event sends us is clear.
The real gold mine of the AI era isn't the flashy AI models themselves, but the domain of automation—connecting and weaving these models together to solve real-world business problems.
What's the point if AI can generate a hundred brilliant ideas? They're useless unless you can connect those ideas to actual business processes to increase revenue and reduce costs.
VCs saw the value in that connection and bet 250 billion won on it.
Conclusion: The One Opportunity You Must Seize This Week So, let's recap.
OpenAI is trying to become a platform, Google is countering with its ecosystem, and the real money is flowing into automation.
What is the single opportunity that all these trends point to?
It's creating small services that use AI to automate specific problems for people.
And now, thanks to OpenAI's ChatGPT Apps, the perfect stage to build and distribute those services has been set.
In the midst of this massive shift, what opportunity will you seize?
