That 8 months seems like a long time to you is indicative of just how fast tech has been moving lately. I expect at least another year before we have a good sense for where we actually are, probably more. However, I'll hazard a guess: I think we haven't seen many real new apps since then because too many people are focused on packaging ChatGPT for X. A chatbot is a perfectly decent use case for some things, but I think the real progress will come when people stop trying to copy what OpenAI already did and start integrating LLMs in a more hands-off way that's more natural to their domains. A great example that's changed my life is News Minimalist [0]. They feed all the news from a ton of sources into one of the GPT models and have it rate the story for significance and credibility. Only the highest rated stories make it into the newsletter. It's still rough around the edges, but being able to delegate most of my news consumption has already made a huge difference in my quality of life! I expect successful and useful applications to fall in a similar vein to News Minimalist. They're not going to turn the world upside down like the hype artists claim, but there is real value to be made if people can start with a real problem instead of just adding a chatbot to everything.
