You could argue the whole point of AI might become to obsolete apps entirely. Most apps are just UIs that allow us to do stuff that an AI could just do for us without needing a lot of input from us. And what little it needs, it can just ask, infer, lookup, or remember.
I think a lot of this stuff will turn into AIs on the fly figuring out how to do what we want, maybe remembering over time what works and what doesn't, what we prefer/like/hate, etc. and building out a personalized catalogue of stuff that definitely does what we want given a certain context or question. Some of those capabilities might be in software form; perhaps unlocked via MCP or similar protocols or just generated on the fly and maybe hand crafted in some cases.
Once you have all that. There is no more need for apps.
