The third age of app development
The first age of app development was all about mobile apps. With the launch of the iPhone in 2007, a new era of computing was born. Suddenly, people had access to a wealth of information and functionality right at their fingertips. Mobile apps allowed us to connect with friends and family, access the latest news and entertainment, and even conduct business from anywhere with an internet connection.
The second age of app development was centered around content platforms. With the rise of social media and streaming services, people began to spend more and more time consuming content on their devices. Companies like Facebook, Instagram, and Netflix became household names as they delivered a never-ending stream of photos, videos, and stories to keep us entertained and engaged. In this period, content was king, meaning unless you had access to quality content, it was difficult to get a start your own app.
Now, we are entering the third age of app development: the age of AI apps. Artificial intelligence is beginning to revolutionize the way we interact with our devices. AI-powered apps can understand and respond to our needs in ways that were previously unimaginable. They can anticipate our desires and make recommendations based on our past behavior. They can even hold conversations with us, learning and adapting as they go.
The best part about using AI as a Service (AIaaS) is that you don't need to have access to millions of data. I built an AI tool in very little time to gerenate custom lessons. The app doesn't have any lesson data when you first create an account, but as the user uses the app and asks for lessons on demand, they start building a library of content.
The possibilities for AI apps are endless. They could help us manage our schedules, find the best deals online, or even diagnose medical conditions. As AI continues to advance, we can expect to see even more impressive and useful applications in the future.
So what does the third age of app development mean for developers and users? It means that the competition will be fierce as companies race to create the most innovative and useful AI apps. It also means that the bar for app development will be higher than ever before, as users demand more from their devices, but the entry for new app developers is actually lower, thanks to these general purpose models available.
