So you don't have to create an account for some platform.
You don't have to accept the terms.
And maybe there's still a billing platform and credit card stuff.
And because that will always be simpler through something that's standardized.
But you're going to have a personalized piece of software.
And I think we're going to rethink these devices.
And you see some folks in the industry already doing that, where a lot of that is more like an agentic interface that is highly custom for you instead of having a grid of icons.
You're not downloading an app from the App Store, but you're building your personal applications that are connecting
to what we call the agentic web, you know, servers, APIs, application programming interfaces, you know, information stores, databases, payment gateways, all these, the models itself, you know, and the GPU clusters and around the world to actually enable all these scenarios.
So there's going to be the infrastructure that enables you to build that app.
Of course, you're still going to buy some device.
And as a good nerd, you're buying a new device way too often, way more often than you actually need a new device.
And that device runs an operating system and has connectivity that connects to that agentic web backend.
I think what will go away in the sense that nothing actually ever goes away, but will fade more into the background is this notion that everything has a highly branded web page.
Like take, you know, an example, like I'm going to Paris in a few weeks.
And today when I book this trip, I go, you know, to a web page to book my plane ticket or train ticket and book a hotel on a different web page and
I book a rental car or driver.
And so three times I've entered the same from to date and have accommodated for when I arrive and when I leave and looked at my calendar 15 times.
Why can I just not just go into my agent and say, hey, I'm going to Paris?
You know, this is the, and you describe in natural language what you would actually describe to the human travel agent.
