Trigger.dev is awesome, use it every day. A feature list is quite impressive and complete, the only thing on my wish-list is a `wait/resume` for long running jobs
Open source is a different business model - you won't be able to do SaaS and open source at the same time. You could try open core where open source would be your marketing channel, this one works - e.g. Talend or RedHat.

Simple to use add-on - JavaScript integration widget that can be embedded in your app and immediately connects it to multiple APIs like Google, LinkedIn, Salesforce, Xing, etc.

Good point, however as you already noted, it's not a single app or single chat client that can change the situation - it's the acceptance of it among the bigger community.

I strongly believe this kind of initiatives should have a strong legal/governmental support and/or control.
I'm not the prismic.io developer but I believe it depends on you - how you fetch the content fragments from prismic.io. We are doing it on the backend, so it's perfectly searchable by Google ;)
