Allie Miller: even heavy AI users still rely on native apps; agent-only interfaces are years away
alliekmiller · x · 2026-09-05
AI entrepreneur Allie Miller offers a contrarian take: despite heavy AI and automation use, she hasn't moved her whole business into Codex, Claude Code, or Slack agents.
- Many peers brag they "never open the app anymore," driving Notion and Stripe via terminal/desktop agents. She still lives in Google, Gmail, Calendar, Sheets and Go High Level, verifying customers in Stripe, checking transfers in Chase, and reviewing P&L in QuickBooks.
- She uses AI to skip tedium but returns to native interfaces for critical verification — she's not a full interface convert.
- She expects Astra and computer-use capabilities to start shifting this, but predicts consumers will keep using native interfaces for years to come.
