 You have mistaken LLMs as the only Ai tool. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about stand alone service provision, vectorizing the internet and massive amounts of data, then being able to contextually search it with tools *entirely independent* of Google. 

This requires a handful of different models, but this was a nightmare a few years ago of you were trying to do it yourself (or impossible really). Today, with open source models and agents to search and collect data, doing this is a vastly more viable challenge. The combination of that and the likelihood of aggregating databases in the open source community I think will be really interesting, especially as the pressure builds to solve this growing problem.
