I don't think it's an overstatement to say that with the right guardrails, this is the killer app for generative UI and perhaps general purpose AI for the masses. From a platform perspective, it's probably the most reasonable endgame for browsers and bespoke software for most people. It solves the problem of relying too much on chatbot UX for interacting with AI in a way that's obvious and understandable: just make the app make apps for specific tasks.
Yes, companies will rely on SaaS tools because they don't want to deal with the maintenance burden. But assume the tools improve over time, and agents can handle increasingly intricate work. It's not far-fetched to think a tool like this could be what most people interact with in the future except for the most low-level or niche of tasks.
I'm sure that in an ideal world, local models and hardware become so powerful that something like this can run entirely on-device. Out in the absence of the broader industry, I think this would be really cool. It's basically a holodeck for the web.
But if my goal were to obtain control of the web, replacing the need for literally any website and tool on it Using a single end-to-end stack would be a pretty good way of doing so. And I couldn't begin to think about the security and privacy implications of this app.
