Would AI super agents mean goodbye to apps as we know them?
In the Western world, we now have an app for everything. Shopping, banking, gaming, and even controlling the temperature in your home - you name it, there’s an app for it.

Each of these apps serve individual needs and consumers have learnt to ignore the digital clutter in favor of app loyalty.
Asia went the opposite way. Instead of narrow-purpose-built apps, they built the 'everything app' long before Elon started dreaming about it with platforms like Paytm, Grab and WeChat. But what would it take for the West to catch up? AI super agents might be the answer to that one.
