If it proves popular, how do you protect yourself from Google or Apple eating your breakfast by simply implementing this in the OS itself?

Probably - keep your costs low and try to sell a bunch before these features are baked into the OS, which is almost certainly coming soon with the current "AI in everything".

For example, if you're old enough, do you remember those devices that were all about getting your phone/ipod with a 3.5mm jack to interface with your car audio system? There were 3.5mm -> cassette adapters, and bluetooth -> 3.5mm dongles abound before bluetooth became commonplace in cars and phones.
