Transcript context

…So you showed me the weather widget that you just built, basically it's like a little mini app that the AI built as you're talking to it. Is there a world where when AI, when AGI is far enough and approaching super intelligence? Can it just build you a Harvey, for example, in real time? "Here's the best experience for a lawyer.
