“So if you think about it, the operating system of the future, you open it up and you see your regular popular apps you use all the time. Maybe it's X, maybe it's Instagram, whatever it is. And then you see maybe some cool apps that you discovered your friend, your best friend's using, or maybe you built for yourself, or you tweaked one of the apps you found for yourself, and then you'll see AI suggesting some apps for you. Maybe you're going to New York next week, and there's, you're into art, so it made an art show finder app for you which is gonna help you find art shows around the Airbnb you're staying at. So it's a lot more flexible, malleable, and very deeply personalized.”
