Almost everything requires a UI. There's just nothing faster than quick glances and taps. It's why voice assistants or hand-waving gesture controls never took over. Having an agent code all those - possibly very complex things - is just impossible without AGI. How would it even work?

- Would the agent go through current app user flows OpenClaw style? Wildly insecure, error-prone, expensive.

- Tapping in to some sort of third party APIs/MCPs. authed, metered, documented how and by which standard to be not abused and hacked?

The unhyped truth is that LLMs are just wildly more competent autocomplete, and there is no such disruption in sight. The status quo of developers and users mostly remains.

Well, your example is timely.

Today I asked ChatGPT to make me a weekly calorie plan and it was perfect. But then I still use MyFitnessPal to log my calories because their food database is outstanding, and the UX of scanning food barcodes is unbeatable. They have the most niche items in my country, Spain.

How are LLMs going any of that? An app is often much more than a CRUD interface.

Maybe I could build a custom app that scans the nutrition facts table and with voice I could explain how much I ate or something - I’m technical, but really, I have better things to do and I’d rather pay MFP 10 bucks a month.
