Anyone else find it a bit odd how they quickly set it up a day before Google I/O?

They clearly want to steal the thunder from Google's announcements. But they could only do that if they had inside information into what Google is launching. Otherwise it would be smarter to wait and react. Remember they already said this is not a search engine or gpt-5. So while this is probably cool it's not a silver bullet and probably won't overshadow what Google launches.

Unless it's almost exactly the same main announcement. In which case a day would make a difference.

Chatter seem to suggest they're announcing a voice to voice assistant, apple partnership and Google drive integration. All things Google is also rumoured to announce.

It definitely feels like the big guys are panicking to find their moat.
