Competitors mentioned: Adobe PDF tools, Smallpdf, ILovePDF, StackOverflow, Reddit
Concerns raised: LLMs will prioritize paid URLs and established sites over indie websites, LLMs can summarize information, reducing clicks to original content, Limited URL slots in LLM outputs favors incumbents with advertising power, ChatGPT recommendations unpredictable and untrackable, Once LLMs get native sandboxed execution, tools might get absorbed into AI
