We’re entering a weird phase where AI is no longer the bottleneck.
The bottleneck is apps.
Switching tools.
Copy/pasting.
Auth.
Permissions.
Broken integrations.
Manual handoffs.
Agents are getting good enough that the visible friction is now the software layer around them.
The new winner won’t just be “better AI.”
It’ll be the system that turns intent into execution across tools.
Natural language becomes the interface.
Apps become backend modules.
