Google recently launched a similar to our app product, should we continue?

Hey everyone, a question:

We have launched our application around 4 months ago, but last week we've discovered that Google recently launched a very similar product. And now we are in doubt - should we continue with our app or should we start thinking about another idea? WDYT?

More details:

Our app - Plyvie - https://www.plyvie.com Google's new app - Audience Connect - https://create.withgoogle.com/tools/audience-connect

Plyvie is a platform that helps to present interactively, you can upload your presentation, add polls, ask questions, etc., the audience can connect to a presentation with their devices. And Google launched an app with similar features and a similar idea - bring more engagement to the audience.

Some points that we've identified so far: - Both apps solve the core problem

- Plyvie is not limited to Google Slides

- with Plyvie, you don't have to install anything and you can launch a presentation directly from a phone or tablet, not only from the laptop, you can make the presentation even without a projector

- Plyvie shows slide on the viewer's device and thus keep the user's focus on presentation constantly

- Plyvie has an audio stream and slides sync to support remote presentations

- Plyvie records a presentation in the background while a presenter is presenting and will allow to publish it to presenter's channel

Thanks!
