I’ve been thinking talking a lot lately with people about the “post app era“. Clearly I’m not the only one.

At some point, and more quickly than we expect, even the structure of the app itself is going to go the way of skeuomorphic design.

It’s not totally clear what will replace it but the age of the computer as AI biome is coming.

A thought-provoking and insightful article!

As the creator of a highly horizontal product I may be biased, but I also feel that such products are well positioned.

One reason why horizontal products are well positioned could be is that they already often serve as "hubs" for their user base, providing a central platform for managing diverse tasks and processes. This makes them an ideal foundation for AI-driven customization and automation, as they can easily integrate with AI technologies and adapt to the specific needs of different industries.

As an example, I can't think of a single feature in our platform where augmenting it with AI wouldn't lead to significant improvements in efficiency, user experience, and adaptability.
