My name is Janko Roettgers, and this is Lowpass. This week: Media apps running in AI chatbots, and a Sonos scoop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dream-post-content-paragraph j6zgbu1\" style=\"--text-align:left\">Earlier this week, Google CEO Sundar Pichai <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/08\/11\/googles-gemini-app-surges-to-one-billion-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"_3k8pkd0\">revealed<\/a> that the company\u2019s Gemini AI app is now being used by over a billion people monthly. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT app surpassed the same milestone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/tech\/ai\/openai-surpasses-one-billion-users-after-cutting-prices-8a9943e4?eafs_enabled=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"_3k8pkd0\">last month<\/a>. Include Anthropic\u2019s Claude and Google\u2019s AI search, and it\u2019s safe to assume that hundreds of millions of people interact with AI every single day to get answers to their most pressing questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dream-post-content-paragraph j6zgbu1\">One of those questions: What should I watch tonight?<\/p>\n<p class=\"dream-post-content-paragraph j6zgbu1\">It\u2019s a question media companies have spent years to answer, with complex recommendation engines, highly fine-tuned user interfaces and, lately, customized AI chatbots that live inside streaming apps and services. But what if none of those touch points matter anymore? What if consumers, instead of scrolling through row after row of carefully fine-tuned recommendations, simply ask the AI chatbot of their choice?<\/p>\n<p class=\"dream-post-content-paragraph j6zgbu1\">\u201cChatGPT is starting to intermediate between media brands and their customers,\u201d says\u00a0 Yann Jouanin, <a href=\"https:\/\/mcpappsbuilders.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"_3k8pkd0\">whose startup<\/a> builds AI-native apps for media companies and other enterprise clients. \u201cIf you\u2019re expecting that people will still come into your EPG or your search \u2013 I think that\u2019s gonna disappear,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dream-post-content-paragraph j6zgbu1\">That\u2019s not to say that media companies have to completely hand their keys, and fate, over to the new AI overlords. Instead, they can use platforms like ChatGPT and Claude to deploy their own apps, complete with visual interfaces that preserve their brand identity \u2013 all while benefiting from the strength of third-party AI services that know consumers better than a streamer ever will.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/thumb_Screen_Shot_2023-01-05_at_12.08.12_PM.png\" alt=\"logo\" class=\"_1arc3hn2\" style=\"border-radius:var(--wt-button-border-radius,0px);overflow:hidden\"\/>Subscribe to our premium content to read the rest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1arc3hn4\" style=\"font-family:var(--wt-paragraph-font-family,undefined);font-size:var(--wt-paragraph-font-size,0px);line-height:var(--wt-paragraph-line-height-size,1.5)\">Become a paying subscriber to get access to this post and other subscriber-only content. &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\nTry it free for one month, cancel any time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowpass.cc\/upgrade?offer_id=3fdbc603-1d1c-4d2a-a922-2531d747f457\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"_1arc3hn5\" style=\"padding:undefinedpx undefinedpx;background-color:#2c81e5;color:#FFFFFF;border-radius:0px\">Get your free trial<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hi there!
