Ideas Weave Every Narrative with AI.
I spent €2,000 and 19 months building an app. My colleague built the same thing for free in a weekend using AI. The difference wasn’t skill — it was knowing what to build. The moat has shifted from execution to distribution, data, and domain expertise. Code is now a commodity. Understanding is the only edge.
Xiaohongshu’s new ‘Mini-Tools’ feature lets anyone upload a simple interactive app and have it live on a social platform within minutes. This isn’t just a feature — it’s a strategic move to fragment the app store model by turning code into content. For creators, it’s the fastest path from idea to distribution. For the industry, it’s the beginning of a new era where software is a post, not a download.
While the world fixated on ChatGPT’s hype, Google quietly embedded AI into every layer of your digital life: search, mobile, maps, even Apple’s Siri. The AI race isn’t about benchmarks or chatbots—it’s about distribution. Google already won by turning its ecosystem into an inescapable AI infrastructure, and antitrust battles are only making it stronger.
