Navigating the Challenges of AI Tools and Desktop Extensions

This week, Federico and John pick and choose their favorite AI app features to imagine a better AI app future, critiquing the leading LLM apps along the way. And, as a bonus, John explains why read-later apps should support Shortcuts and other automation schemes.

On AppStories+, the critique continues with a look at how Todoist could be improved.

We deliver AppStories+ to subscribers with bonus content, ad-free, and at a high bitrate early every week.
