But… why would I put the effort into getting an llm to make me an app when a there’s an existing app that I don’t have to maintain? I don’t want to have to make every app I use?
We should also remember that the effort of building and maintaining apps is dropping precipitously as LLMs get smarter, faster, and cheaper. OpenClaw signalled the direction in which we're heading, and within a year, Anthropic will no doubt have cheap and competent agents which can handle the maintenance autonomously in the background.
This is why SaaS valuations are getting hammered.
With people slowly abandoning dedicated computers they fully control (if we can even call windows/macOS that) and going towards mobile/tablet computing more every year, which is a far more locked down device run by companies that are becoming increasingly hostile to “side-loading,” I just don’t see how this can become reality.
