Is anyone working on an Ai first phone?
I think at the least I should be able to have Ai interact with anything on my screen. And beyond that it could even code interfaces on the fly depending on the task.

I have the latest S25 (regular not the oversized +) and it does a lot of AI first like things. It can see what's on the screen, summarize your day, circle to search etc.
I disabled most of it within a few days because it mostly gets in the way of normal basic things like taking screenshots or just reading my actual notifications in full.
The picture editing can be nice, but realistically there's just no need for most of its 'support', it's just clippy on your phone getting in the way.
It kind of shows the state of Indie development over the last 2 decades that it's only the big players that can move mountains. Linux on the phone never happened, and it seems like we are all resigned to the fact that the future AI phone OS/AI browser will be made by the titans and not anyone else. Even if it came out of the open-source scene the titans just buy the damn thing.
Chrome is installed on (almost?) every Android phone. So they'd be buying much more than this.
Not a new "AI phone", which has to gain traction, find users, convince people to switch, compete in highly competitive (hardware( and duopolized (OS, Software) landscape.
I won't be suprised if amongst Android users, Chrome is one of the most installed apps - if only because many phones have it locked (i.e. its really hard or impossible to remove).
Maybe "Google Assistant" is installed more than chrome, IDK. But Chrome has the additional benefit that it is also installed on many iPhones. Sou Chrome would be a gateway into "making your iPhone an AI phone" too.
