the big showdown this year will be between Anthropic vs. Google

with the success of claude code and cowork, anthropic has proven something most people missed:

desktop app + browser plugin = lethal combo

where are all those ai browsers? openai atlas? dead. perplexity comet? dead.

anthropic met the users where they WERE instead of trying to crack the browser monopoly.

now claude code, cowork connect to
any folder, app on your desktop AND your browser - that means it has access to anything you can browse on the internet. email, shopping carts, youtube, bank accounts - you name it.

just describe to an agent what you want it to do in plain english, hit enter and go for a walk.

but Google is striking back, rapidly shovelling into every product they own - which happens to be 90% of the internet 😂

their new Personal Intelligence product is exactly what anthropic’s trying to do with connectors, plugins and autonomous browsing agents - but with google steroids.

Amodei-vid vs. Googl-iath
