Apps Are Wrappers Around Context

Context Engineering

Instead of opening five different apps to get things done, you talk to one AI that knows your tools, your data, and your workflows.

What we call "apps" today are rigid shells. Each one forces you into its own interface, its own mental model, its own way of doing things. But all they really do is sit on top of context: your calendar, your files, your messages, your tasks.

The interface layer should stop being fixed. Instead of forcing users into predetermined screens, the UI should adapt to the specific context and actions the user needs at that moment: reading, editing, comparing, approving. When context is structured well, the AI can generate the right interface on the fly. Apps stop being destinations and start being unnecessary.
