Just as every office has a computer, every corporate document uses Word, and every data grouping/analysis goes to Excel, AI is the tool of the moment; everyone will use it, and those who don't are stuck with the typewriter.

Regarding internal apps, the big problem isn't creating/building them, it's maintaining them, scaling them, and providing support. In the coming times, we'll see many companies suffering from orphaned, vibe-coded apps that no longer work.

I agree with this. People are vibe-coding apps all the time at work, and who knows where they go, especially when that person leaves the company.

With that said, for apps that require scalability, I don’t see this as the same problem, since that suggests they are widely used, and will be maintained similarly to a product or standard internal tool was, 5 years ago.

But for the rest of them, this is why I made Pando. It’s my way of trying to find a solution to preventing a ton of apps and company data to get thrown around and forgotten about.

Which to be fair is not necessarily better or worse than orphaned, vibe-coded Excel spreadsheets that no longer work.
