WWDC 2024 Reaction: Did iOS18 just destroy my AI wrapper apps?

Adam discovers he's been asleep on his AI wrapper apps this whole time and puts together a plan. The Apple WWDC 2024 just finished and many developers are starting to realize their apps are… well… doomed.
In this video, Adam reacts to the shocking news from Apple's WWDC 2024 that iOS 18 will have full integration with ChatGPT, effectively rendering many AI wrapper apps obsolete. As an indie app developer, Adam shares his personal experience of creating three AI scanner apps- a fish identifier, an insect identifier, and a vegan ingredient scanner- all of which now face a bleak future. He discusses the implications for developers, the challenges of monetizing in a rapidly evolving tech landscape, and his strategy moving forward to adapt to these changes.
Apps by Adam Lyttle is the personal journey of an indie app developer navigating the highs and lows of the app development world.

Bro, it was inevitable. And most of these piggyback apps were too expensive anyway. Good luck for the future.

Hey Adam. Great video !
I have some questions
1. Do you think that with the advancement of AI, including built-in AI in iPhones, there will still be a place for SaaS solutions?
2. How do you see the future of SaaS in general? Do you think it will continue to be a good business, or will increasingly advanced models cause a lot of automation to be done out of the box because a) you will have AI in your phone and b) the entry barrier to building SaaS solutions with something like GPT-5 will be much lower?
3. From your perspective, is it still worth trying to build SaaS solutions if someone decided to start "today" from 0?
