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.

Yeah I was talking about small apps/services for personal use rather than professional applications built to serve a business need.

Two ideas: "For every picture of food I take, create a recipe to recreate it so I can make it at home in the future" or "Create an app where I can log my food for today and automatically calculate the calories based on the food I put in".
