If it proves popular, how do you protect yourself from Google or Apple eating your breakfast by simply implementing this in the OS itself?

Please don't tell them about us...

In some ways, if this instigates them implement it in their OS, we are doing our job, and then we can pivot and keep working on ideas that we hope will serve others.

		I seriously doubt apple will ever have the level of voice control that this would provide. It's a great idea for a product! One obvious dumb question is is there a video input for the device? I mean how does it know what screen it's on, where to find the buttons to click. It seems like the next level would be to add a video capture device too

		Well anything that could defeat integrity is on their radar.

Probably - keep your costs low and try to sell a bunch before these features are baked into the OS, which is almost certainly coming soon with the current "AI in everything".

For example, if you're old enough, do you remember those devices that were all about getting your phone/ipod with a 3.5mm jack to interface with your car audio system? There were 3.5mm -> cassette adapters, and bluetooth -> 3.5mm dongles abound before bluetooth became commonplace in cars and phones.
