The real AI disruption won’t come from new models. It’ll come from new apps. We’re not getting magical AGI that thinks recursively like a human anytime soon. The latest Anthropic model fell flat, GPT-4.5 is being discontinued, and xAI’s Colossus, despite having 8x more GPUs than OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, didn’t make Grok 8x smarter. What you see today is what you get, with only marginal improvements until the next true paradigm shift. Maybe today’s models can bootstrap the next “Attention Is All You Need” moment, but I’m not holding my breath. The point is the dust has settled enough to start building with confidence, using the constraints of current models, without fear of being steamrolled six months from now. The next questions aren’t about “Anthropic vs. Google vs. OpenAI.” They’re about interface and architecture. How tomorrow’s apps will use today’s AI to replace today’s software. Some quick numbers: $350B – Estimated global SaaS market in 2025 ~75% – Portion of SaaS apps still “pre-AI” (legacy UX, no native LLM integration) $262B – Market size of those “pre-AI” apps ~$130B – Estimated disruptable market for AI-native applications That’s the opportunity. Reimagining workflows with AI at the core. Not as a Copilot, but as the engine. Thinair just launched a voice-driven AI app for a construction company demoed below by Henry Pittorino and Bella Thurston. The problem was simple: no tracking of job site production, refueling logs were done on paper, and maintenance requests were a mess of phone calls that might make it into a schedule. The solution was even simpler: an iOS app with one button. “Record Field Report.” Whether the user is on a job site, in a truck, or 20 feet down in a hole, the input is always the same: press, talk, send. Each message is routed to an AI that interprets the intent and takes action. Create a maintenance request, log fuel, file a report, whatever’s needed. It’s a good interface. It solves a real problem. And it doesn’t matter if the model behind it is from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. They all handle the task equally well. That’s the value of AI.
