The App That Does Everything (TATDE)
I've spoken to a couple of people within the last 24 hours that makes me think that apps in future will just build themselves. There will be universal approaches or 'skills' (e.g. task lists, timers) that it can just draw upon, but if you need anything unique the app will just ask you questions and you can refine it.
So we'll have composable and compostable user interfaces based on user preferences. It will be extremely cool. Jay talks about something similar here.
Of course, I've no doubt that capitalist rent-seekers will find a way to extract money and/or make this not A Thing, but I'm wondering whether I could bootstrap such a system. For example, thinking accessibility-first, you start with a voice conversation with an agent that asks you questions to help guide it - things like:
- Are you working or retired?
- Are you a parent or carer?
- Do you have your own business or an employee?
...and so on. Then you describe your pain points and what you want to achieve in life, and are taken through a mini value proposition canvas process. The app can connect to previous things you've liked and change the design and functionality based on location, time of day, your mood, etc.
