alt Hacker NewsEmail was the killer app I think that showed everyone how damn useful the internet is. Then Hotmail showed how convenient email can be.
What is the AI version of that? Maybe code generation. Maybe.

Being able to plan a trip from a single sentence would be one killer app for many people:
"I'm free next week. I'd like to go to A, B, or C for a couple days. What's a cheap flight and a room within this budget near X area?"
and if it could go and also make a booking through your accounts that would be amazing.
But right now even Google's Gemini is an utter useless dumbass if asked to search Google Flights or Airbnb.
I mean if LLMs could just be a natural-language wrapper around existing tools, that'd be amazing in itself. But corporivalry has made that an stillborn dream.
Code generation/LLMs are the SMTP and other internet protocols, we don't have killer apps yet.
