  Industries. The challenges of creating a

  gaining Traction in a fragmented.
• 1:45
  A people ecosystem. Now join us as we delve into the
• 1:49
  possibilities and challenges of Elon musk's vision for x and
• 1:54
  what it could mean for the future of technology in the
• 1:57
  United States. Now Twitter informed its
• 2:01
  business users on April 18th that Twitter Inc is now X Corp.
• 2:08
  It's the latest move and musk's attempt to turn his reluctantly
• 2:11
  purchase platform into an everything app called X, along
• 2:15
  with the name change, there's the recent news that Either has
• 2:18
  partnered with the stock and crypto trading firm and musk
• 2:21
  also Incorporated, an artificial intelligence company called x
• 2:26
  dot AI, which may be part of is super app plans.
• 2:31
  So so-called super apps or everything apps.
• 2:34
  As musk is referred to them are apps that offer several
• 2:37
  Services, usually, including a payments component, and they're
• 2:42
  hugely popular in Asia, though. You can find them in Africa and
• 2:46
  Latin America as well. But they haven't caught on in
• 2:49
  the US must clearly wants that to change and he wants Twitter
• 2:53
  to lead the way the billionaire has said a few things about his
• 2:57
  plans and made what appeared to be a few preliminary moves
• 3:00
  toward it. But what is Twitter can do with
• 3:04
  his dwindling resources and polarizing owner is still very
• 3:08
  much in question. So, let's talk about what super
• 3:12
  apps are right now. If you're in the u.s. you
• 3:15
  probably haven't used a super a before.
• 3:17
  It's It's possible. You hadn't even heard of them
• 3:20
  before musk started talking about the concept while you
• 3:24
  might be familiar with WeChat a Chinese messaging app that then
• 3:28
  President Trump tried to ban along with Tick-Tock in 2020, we
• 3:32
  chant has 1 Point 2, 6 billion users worldwide as of September
• 3:37
  20 21 and it's enormously popular in China.
• 3:42
  If you have family there, you probably use WeChat to stay in
• 3:44
  touch with them at since its 2011 release.
• 3:48
  We chant has become much more than a messaging app for mobile
• 3:51
  devices. It quickly expanded it to
• 3:53
  payments and gaming WeChat is owned by a Chinese company
• 3:57
  called tencent, which is a major player in gaming worldwide and
• 4:02
  that it added many programs or third-party apps house within we
• 4:06
  chant which vastly expanded, its capabilities these days users
• 4:11
  can do just about everything within WeChat, they can hell a
• 4:15
  taxi order food Pete. Bill's share videos and even
• 4:20
  share their government-issued identification in some
• 4:24
  circumstances. They may only be able to access
• 4:26
  certain Services through their, we chap accounts and we chap
• 4:30
  supplies and it has control of the infrastructure that
• 4:34
  underpins this ecosystem and the possibilities are almost
• 4:38
  endless. They can build anything they
• 4:39
  want on top of it. And for many people in China, we
• 4:43
  chant is their entire internet. Now, Jason Wang and Software
• 4:49
  design and development, at Gartner describes the concept as
• 4:52
  one company. Building an open app for third
• 4:54
  parties, to build these many apps, you'd like an Su perhaps
• 4:57
  to how Batman and Iron Man have suits with core powers and they
• 5:01
  add on regular different gadgets and functionalities to them and
• 5:06
  they can remove them as well. He said, you build a super amp,
• 5:09
  which is the costume that shell that has some core value, and
• 5:14
  then other partners will see value in created.
• 5:18
  Additional superpowers for your suit.
• 5:20
  Now we chat success has inspired other super apps in Asia and
• 5:25
  other continents Ali. Baba's a leap a which began as a
• 5:28
  payment service is also popular in China.
• 5:31
  Southeast Asia has grabbed which started out as a ride hailing
• 5:34
  app and go Jack, which began as a delivery service Africa, super
• 5:38
  amps, which include empieza and tempt him.
• 5:41
  If similar origin stories as does Latin America's rappy, But
• 5:46
  the u.s. along with Canada and Europe, hasn't been able to
• 5:50
  produce, a super wrap of its own.
• 5:53
  We've seen companies expand the services their apps offer into
• 5:56
  other areas, like how Uber or ride-hailing service?
• 5:59
  Now offers food delivery and grocery delivery within his
• 6:02
  platform. And Microsoft allows third
• 6:05
  parties to develop apps within its teams.
• 6:07
  Workplace. Now PayPal launches version of
• 6:10
  a, super a pint 121, but it hasn't gain much traction in
• 6:14
  comparison to its Asian. Parts, several factors have
• 6:18
  contributed to the lack of a true, super app in the west.
• 6:22
  Now, one reason is the intense competition in the US market
• 6:25
  with companies specializing in particular, niches and strive to
• 6:30
  maintain their dominance for the more regulatory hurdles and
• 6:34
  privacy concerns. Make it difficult for companies
• 6:37
  to consolidate user data and offer a wide array of services
• 6:41
  under one app. Lastly, the fragmented nature of
• 6:44
  the western app, ecosystem. With both IOS and Android
• 6:47
  platforms creates additional challenges, for developing a
• 6:51
  super app that works seamlessly across all devices.
• 6:56
  The musk has a vision for this super app, the X app and is
• 7:01
  going to be turning Twitter into the super app and it's ambitious
• 7:06
  to say the least, he's hinted at creating a platform that
• 7:09
  combines social media news payments and AI all within one
• 7:14
  single app on your device. It's a huge order, but if
• 7:19
  there's someone capable of pulling it off, it might
• 7:21
  actually be Elon Musk. And while the full extent of
• 7:24
  musk's plans for X is yet to be revealed.
• 7:28
  Some features are already taken shape, the partnership with
• 7:32
  stock and trading and crypto firms indicates that the ability
• 7:37
  to trade stocked and cryptocurrencies could be
• 7:40
  integrated into the platform soon.
• 7:42
  Additionally, the acquisition of X data I suggest.
• 7:46
  That AI powered features and services may play a significant
• 7:51
  role in the app. Now musk's track record with
• 7:54
  Tesla and SpaceX is shown as ability to disrupt, establish
• 7:57
  Industries and create Innovative transformative Solutions.
• 8:01
  However, the challenges of creating a super app in the US
• 8:03
  market are numerous and the polarizing nature of musk's
• 8:07
  public Persona may. Make it difficult for X to gain
• 8:11
  widespread adoption. Now it's ambitious as musk's
• 8:15
  vision for X. Maybe there are several hurdles
• 8:18
  that need to be overcome for it to become a reality.
• 8:22
  First, and foremost, Twitter will need to invest heavily in
• 8:24
  research and development, create a seamless, integrated platform
• 8:28
  that can support multiple services.
• 8:30
  This will likely require collaboration with third-party
• 8:33
  developers to create an ecosystem of many apps much like
• 8:37
  we chant has done in China. Furthermore Regulatory and
• 8:41
  privacy concerns will need to be addressed the concerns
• 8:44
  Validation of user data across various Services.
• 8:47
  May raise red flags with regulars and X will need to
• 8:50
  demonstrate that. It can protect user privacy
• 8:53
  while providing the convenience of an everything app.
• 8:56
  This may necessitate working closely with Regulators to
• 8:59
  ensure compliance, with existing laws and regulations.
• 9:03
  Now, gaining Traction in the highly competitive, US market
• 9:07
  will be a huge challenge to achieve the same level of we
• 9:13
  chant, Anna X will need to offer a truly unique and compelling
• 9:17
  user experience and services that sets it apart from other
• 9:21
  apps. This will likely involve
• 9:23
  extensive marketing and Partnerships to drive user
• 9:26
  adoption and killer apps to get people involved.
• 9:31
  Now, the vision for X as a super app, is an ambitious and divert
• 9:35
  that could potentially transform the way people in the u.s.
• 9:38
  interact with technology and their devices.
• 9:40
  However, there are numerous challenges to overcome Including
• 9:44
  competition, regulation and privacy concerns.
• 9:47
  And while musk its track record is suggests.
• 9:50
  He might be the one to finally pull this off.
• 9:53
  It remains to be seen if x can be successful because there's so
• 9:57
  many challenges and it could possibly be the go-to app for
• 10:02
  users in the US and possibly Canada in the future.
