Claude built me a simple react app AND rendered it in it's own UI - including using imports and stuff.
I am looking forward to this type of real time app creation being added into our OSs, browsers, phones and glasses.

What do you see that being used for?
Surely, polished apps written for others are going to be best built in professional tools that live independently of whatever the OS might offer.
So I assume you're talking about quick little scratch apps for personal use? Like an AI-enriched version of Apple's Automator or Shortcuts, or of shell scripts, where you spend a while coahcing an AI to write the little one-off program you need instead of visually building a worrkflow or writing a simple script? Is that something you believe there's a high unmet need for?
This is an earnest question. I'm sincerely curious what you're envisioning and how it might supercede the rich variety of existing tools that seem to only see niche use today.
Once a class was full, you could still get in if someone who was selected for the classes changed their mind, which (at an unpredictable time) would result in a seat becoming available in that class until another student noticed the availability and signed up.
So I wrote a simple PHP script that loaded the page every 60 seconds checking, and the script would send me a text message if any of the classes I wanted suddenly had an opening. I would then run to a computer and try to sign up.
These are the kind of bespoke, single-purpose things that I presume AI coding could help the average person with.
