I’ve been thinking along the same lines: if the model is the OS, then the “first-party apps” (the Office suite equivalents) are things like Deep Research, Coding, computer and browser control. But this will expand fast into data analysis, navigation inside specific UIs like ERP or PM software, and external communication—agentic search over email and chat. There’ll be obvious boundaries (OpenAI probably won’t chase the AI gaming space), but also cannibalization, the way Netscape never saw Windows coming for their lunch. The future isn’t written yet, but you can already make out the contours.

Weird, you are the second person who has said this. I use Claude for editing, but I wrote the piece myself. Here's proof of 27 versions :) https://x.com/nikunj/status/1963081274517815454

Probably, claude underperformed in edits and typical styles of writing lines in between.

Bruh. DOS era means the time frame that the DOS command window is what people interacted with prior to "Windows". Those who mastered DOS, understood how it functioned, what it's use case possibilities were and how they could put a better user interface over its underlining functions to make things easier for the average person to interact with.
