AI browsers, PC desktop apps, and agent products.

If you carefully observe and think about the trends, functions, and essence of these three types of AI products, you will find that their background and trends are to make good use of the basic capabilities of large models while doing context engineering.

The specific forms are actually becoming more and more blurred.

Whether you are a browser, a desktop application, or an agent, the operation methods are becoming more and more similar, and the boundaries are not as obvious as before.

This feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and after communicating with a creator on Fireworks Night Talk in the past two weeks and watching some good features he is preparing to launch, this idea has become more and more firm.

The form of AI products may really be what @elonmusk said, and the concept of app may gradually disappear
