App days are numbered: The end state of software will be private, personal, verified, and AI agent-built

This article explores how AI agents may soon render traditional third-party applications obsolete by enabling users to generate their own software on-demand. By moving away from executing opaque, developer-provided binaries, users can shift toward personal agents that build, audit, and constrain code according to the user's specific needs. The author highlights the risks of current software trust models—citing supply chain vulnerabilities—and suggests that integrating zero-knowledge proofs and verifiable endpoints will allow users to maintain sovereignty over their data and workflows. Ultimately, the future of software will be defined by a choice between convenient, corporate-managed ecosystems and private, verifiable, user-owned systems.
