While ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Copilot all have&nbsp;<strong>strong AI models<\/strong>, they lack&nbsp;<strong>seamless integration<\/strong>. These AI tools require users to&nbsp;<strong>download an app, log in, and manually open them<\/strong>&nbsp;each time.&nbsp;<strong>Gemini, on the other hand, is just a button press away<\/strong>, giving Google a massive edge in daily user interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This strategy mirrors&nbsp;<strong>Google\u2019s success with search<\/strong>, where being the&nbsp;<strong>default option<\/strong>&nbsp;led to overwhelming market dominance.
