Data management apps will become obsolete first
  • Agents can handle fitness tracking, to-do lists, etc. automatically
  • No need for separate UI when agent understands context
  • Example: Agent assumes meal choices at known restaurants
  • Removes friction of manual data entry
  • Only sensor-based apps may survive (hardware integration)

Supporting quotes

Why do I need My Fitness Pal? Like my agent already knows that I'm making bad decisions. I'm at I don't know uh Smashburg or something and it will already assume that I eat what I like to eat. If I don't make a comment, it will just like automatically track it or I make a picture and it will just store it somewhere. I don't even need to care. Peter Steinberger
