PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Competition among AI assistants is shifting from model capability to the density of service connections. Lingguang packs ride-hailing, food delivery and reading into a single entry point, and user request data shows that finance and health are high-frequency hard needs. But the more connectors there are, the more critical the reliability of task tracking and cross-service coordination becomes, and that will be the real dividing line in the next stage.
