I don’t think it will be the default for enterprise, but it will be for consumer apps. I built a personal finance net worth/cash flow tracker in 3 days, and my circle of friends and family are all on it now. It’s the golden era of building something specific for you and your family.
What problem were you solving and what were you building?
You’ll rarely be too early. If you’re building some people want/need, they will be happy to hear what you’re working towards and potentially give feedback.
Agree. $300 for a speaker + home automation hub + timer + digital picture frame appeals to a lot of older people and busy parents who spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

For smaller startups who don't take themselves too seriously but would want to actually survey their employees in a non-corporate way to get a pulse of their company. Can display a "Tolerable Workplace" badge.
My wife hates clutter and the junk that we've accumulated the past few years because of our two children receiving junk toys.

Kpler acquired them and it's not consumer friendly anymore. They are focused on enterprise accounts only now.
That’s what a bot would say to fit in.
One factor is that people are obsessed with removing any friction in their life that stands in the way of whatever they believe makes them happy at the end of the day. Which for a lot of the US is just being alone and unbothered with a TV or a phone.
Having responsibilities and caring for others is actually good for the human soul. Being inconvenienced is a part of real life.
I’m not trying to convince everyone that they need to have a kid. But from my experience, having kids provides a very deep and satisfying purpose. Not the only purpose. But it does provide one. And it helps cut through the craziness and hurt and vanity of this world.
You’ll also great some of the greatest feedback from them too.
Would you be open to sharing more? I’m a Christian, and I’d love to hear from your perspective.

Best of luck. I've known so many people in my circle deal with infertility and miscarriages. Hope you succeed.
I built a fantasy football rankings app using claude code, and it has been blowing up in the fantasy football subreddit.
