YC-backed Blue builds an agent-first phone; AI may prove Jobs right on apps
evisoft · x · 2026-11-12
olelehmann recalls that the original iPhone shipped in 2007 with no App Store, and Steve Jobs resisted third-party apps for a year. He argues AI may prove Jobs right: once agents operate apps for you, they collapse into one place where you just say what you want.
YC-backed Blue is building an entirely new phone around this idea — a "chief of staff" that handles your texts, emails, and notifications. evisoft predicts that by 2030 the most-used app on your phone will be one you never open yourself: your agent opens it for you.
