## What Jamie wrote

Interesting strategic article from McCormick on how OpenAI could position ChatGPT as the "Apex Aggregator".

> Most importantly, plugins will turn ChatGPT into one destination for nearly everything: search, discovery, travel planning, restaurant booking, gift shopping, first drafts, research, you name it. Importantly, unlike a traditional platform, through which users can find and download apps, ChatGPT consumes plugins and absorbs their capabilities into the main product. It’s a product as a platform, or a platform as one product.

He positions ChatGPT as a potential disruptor for much of existing consumer businesses. I don't see this as directly obvious as McCormick suggests, but the plug-in capability that OpenAI has introduced certainly makes a space for ChatGPT to go this direction.
