Good luck. People will not be able to control their Sonos, listen to their music, use banking apps or check their social.

Not having ~~enough~~ the right apps killed blackberry, windows mobile, windows phone, symbian and palmOS. But sure, a chatbot will be different.

It would have worked 10+ years ago, when we had open apis and could connect to services without being forced into their walled gardens. But now? Nah.

Edit: typo and clarified apps

no, but you see... all the apps are going to be vibe-coded on the fly every time you want to open one! Want to browse lemmy? "The user wants to browse a website, let's build a browser....." [a few days later] "you reached your token limit, do you want to move to the Pro $1500 per month subscription and continue building your browser?"

Can't you just vibe code your banking app? As long as I can make my balance higher, this will beat iphone rounded corners banking app.
