THE APP LAYER IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE APP LAYER

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

If AI made your main feature free, what would be left of your company? Apps that just wrap a model are easy to replace. The ones that last own a number their customer cares about and keep making it better. Like spreadsheets, cheaper AI will create more work, not less. Labs will build a generic support agent that handles 30 to 40 percent of tickets, but you win above that by knowing the messy details labs won't bother learning. Meta is proof that advertisers pay for sales, not for the dashboard.
