In the AI industry—especially on the applications side—almost any idea that comes to mind is likely meaningless. Why? Because nearly all of them already exist. Most "creative" concepts people come up with haven't broken free from the decades-old inertial thinking that defined the traditional internet and software eras. So far, AI has unfolded in clear waves: - Wave 1: ChatGPT-style conversational interfaces—the breakout success. - Wave 2: AI coding tools, primarily serving programmers and developers by augmenting or replacing their existing workflows. - Wave 3: The real one—with genuine, previously unmet demand and a clear target user base—still hasn't arrived. Demand for AI Agents as the core user base may prove to be that next meaningful wave, but today they're still just early sprouts. The truly transformative application layer and its native users remain to be discovered.
