AI Subscription Bundles
Projection: One consumer allowance could route each request to a suitable general model or specialist application, replacing a stack of overlapping subscriptions. The present assistant market supplies both demand and fragmentation, not a working bundle. The economics hold only if households pay less while participating services still sustain usage costs.
