Remember "GPTs" and the thing before it which I don't even remember now. I think this will go the same route .. to nowhere

So it’s take 2 for Open AI’s App Store moment. But this time surfing Anthropic’s MCP wave. Smart interop.. or just chasing the cool kids?

I think this is very interesting, but it is reminiscent of what we built with Phind 2 where the answer could include dynamic, pre-built widgets.

The problem with this approach is precisely that these apps/widgets have hard-coded input and output schema. They can work quite well when the user asks something within the widget's capabilities, but the brittleness of this approach starts showing quickly in real-world use. What if you want to use more advanced filters with Zillow? Or perhaps cross-reference with StreetEasy? If those features aren't supported by the widget's hard-coded schema, you're out of luck as a user.

What I think it much more exciting is the ability to completely create generative UI answers on the fly. We'll have more to say on this soon from Phind (I'm the founder).

Does anyone think small players (like an independent developer) will be accepted ? Sounds like it will only for the big whales
