As part of the US Department of Justice's antitrust lawsuit against Google , OpenAI filed a court document titled 'ChatGPT: H1 2025 Strategy,' which was created by OpenAI in late 2024 and outlines its strategy for turning ChatGPT into a 'super assistant.'

In this document, OpenAI says, 'What exactly is a super assistant? It's an intelligent entity with T-shaped skills. A super assistant is a being that is personalized to the user and is available everywhere, including the web version of ChatGPT, native apps, phone, email, and third-party surfaces such as Siri. The reason it's T-shaped is because it has a wide range of skills for boring everyday tasks and deep expertise for tasks that most people find impossible (starting with coding). The broad part is focused on making life easier, such as answering questions, finding a home, contacting a lawyer, joining a gym, planning a vacation, buying gifts, managing a calendar, managing a to-do list, and sending emails. The deep part is about (redacted and not viewable), but as you reach less interested users, you should pay attention to (redacted and not viewable).'



9to5Mac outlined OpenAI's super assistant, saying, 'In a nutshell, ChatGPT envisions a future where it's not just something you open in your browser or an app, but something that's always with you, always listening to you, and always ready to help. This is exactly what Siri was aiming for.'

In the first half of 2025, OpenAI will enhance its memory capabilities to remember all past conversations and be able to respond based on past conversations at any time.

In addition, 9to5Mac points out that the company has announced 'Operators' that can perform complex tasks on behalf of users in web browsers, and these are exactly the features necessary to become a super assistant as defined by OpenAI.

In addition, OpenAI stated in the court documents, 'True choice promotes competition and benefits everyone. Users should be able to choose their AI assistant. If you use iOS, Android, or Windows, you should be able to set ChatGPT as your default AI assistant. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta should not promote their own AI without providing users with a fair choice. The same goes for search engines. Google, Apple, and Microsoft should give users a choice regarding their default search engine and allow AI assistants, including ChatGPT, to access their search engine indexes.' He revealed his ambition to make ChatGPT the default search engine and AI assistant available on major operating systems.

Apple's AI roadmap is in disarray, and Siri's engineering lead has been replaced by Mike Rockwell, who was the head of Apple Vision Pro. Robbie Walker, who previously served as Siri's engineering lead, is now heading a new internal project called 'Knowledge.'
