Indie developer airkatakana responded to the common criticism that language learning apps will get eaten by ChatGPT — his answer: integrate instead of compete. The sottaku ChatGPT plugin is now available for sottaku pro subscribers.
It's a notable survival strategy for small AI-era products: instead of being replaced by a general-purpose assistant, plug into it and use the platform as a distribution channel for a paid subscription.
