Anyone can write an application for their phone in a few minutes

Life moves very quickly. If you don't stop and look around every now and then, you could be missing out on a lot. This can be said about the world of artificial intelligence. Everything happens at the speed of a stock exchange board on Wall Street.

Try writing an application for your phone

A few days ago, I asked Google AI a question: can you write an application for a phone? He replied, “Yes, I can help you with that! While I won't hit the «publish» button on the App Store for you, I can handle the hardest technical part.

Here's exactly how I can be useful:

1. class=»notranslate»>__GTAG15__ Write code : I will create the structure and logic in Swift (iOS), Kotlin (Android) or cross-platform frameworks like Flutter or React Native .
2. Think over the architecture : I’ll tell you how to connect the application with the database and server.
3. Fix errors : if you already have a code that “won’t start,” just throw it off and we’ll figure it out.
4. Step-by-step guide : I’ll explain which tools to download (for example, Xcode or Android Studio) and where to click.

Do you already have an idea for a specific application or would you like me to suggest something easy to get started?

Then I asked: I am interested in launching several selected calls with one button.

Here is the answer: if you want to write your own application, here is the implementation logic:

• For Android (Kotlin) :
  Use Intent.ACTION_CALL. You will need to request the CALL_PHONE permission in the manifest. The program can take turns running call intents, but Android will still require the previous call to end before starting a new one.
• For iOS (Swift) :
  Use the tel://number scheme. However, Apple's policy prohibits automatic dialing of a series of numbers in a row without user interaction. Each action will require confirmation in a dialog box.

Which option is closer to you? If you plan to write code, xrust, I can create a structure for Android Studio or Xcode .

Wall Street is storming in the AI sector

class=»notranslate»>__GTAG19__Things moved pretty quickly on Wall Street last week. The S&P 500 Software and Services Index lost about $830 billion in market capitalization in six consecutive losing sessions ending Feb. 4. The losses were significant for SaaS companies, giving rise to the term “SaaSpocalypse.” At the center of the concern is Anthropic's release of the Claude Cowork app, which many believe could render SaaS apps obsolete or at least significantly reduce their value.

Labor market and artificial intelligence

If Claude Code fixes bugs, do you really need a Jira ticket? Why turn to legal document sites when Claude.ai can simply create a will for you, customized to your specifications, for one monthly fee? Do you need 100 Salesforce licenses if you can do the job with 10 people using AI agents?

Historically, when the demand for something increased dramatically and that demand was met, it had a profound impact on the labor market. Electricity destroyed demand for goods such as hand-powered tools and gas lamps, but it created enormous demand for electricians, power plant technicians, and appliance assemblers.

And, of course, electricity had huge consequences. The invention of the transistor led to an increase in demand for computers, eliminating many secretaries, «human calculators», slide rule makers and the like.

Output

The demand for AI is limitless. And it will almost certainly have a profound impact on the labor market. Will people be writing code for a long time to come? Programmers are becoming more powerful every few months, and the pace is accelerating. Over the past week, OpenAI and Anthropic have released large new language models that have received rave reviews from developers. The race is on — who knows how soon the next iterations will appear.

We are rapidly approaching the day when anyone with an idea can create an app or website in a matter of hours. The term “software developer” will take on a new meaning. Or perhaps it will suffer the same fate as the term “wagon whip maker.” Time will show.
