We have reached "peak UI". In the future we're not going to need every service to build four different versions of their app for every major platform. They can just build a barebones web app and the AI will use it for you, you'll never have to even see it.

[killthebuddha]

IMO you won't even need to build the app, you'll just provide a data model and some natural language descriptions of what you want your product to do.

[twobitshifter]

That’s how this plugin system works already.

[killthebuddha]

I don't think this is the case. You provide an API spec but you also have to provide the implementation of that API. ChatGPT is basically a concierge between your API and the user.

[int_19h]

I think the API is meant to be the data model in this scenario. The point is that you design the API around the task that it solves, rather than against whatever fixed spec OpenAI publishes. And then you tell ChatGPT, "here's an AI, make use of it for ..." - and it magically does, without you having to write any plumbing.

[killthebuddha]

It sounds like you might have it backwards. The API spec is published by you and the AI consumes it.

[int_19h]

It should read "here's an API", of course.

[hackerlight]

It isn't yet. For example, Wolfram Alpha is an app that GPT is communicating to, and it actually exists.

Except you won't if you want to make money because then you don't have a business

[IanCal]

Unless you charge for providing services of value to people.

[Aeolos]

And that is why some people think this AI leap could be as big as the internet.

[revelio]

Charge people for installing your plugin into ChatGPT.

[killthebuddha]

I mean yeah, you'll have to provide a data model (and data) that other people don't have.

[nonethewiser]

I mean, if you consider mobile we might already be down from the peak. In the sense that the interface bandwidth has shrunk to whatever 2 fingers can handle.

Headless app is the way to go.
