I think these kinds of functions can be easily added to the next version of iOS’s Springboard as they involve no advanced technology. Here's how it works technically: 1. Cards are written as separate web pages and injected as iframes. 2. URLs are wrapped as function calls and passed to the LLM model. 3. The model interprets user prompts and passes the corresponding parameters to the URL. Here's how it may work from a triple-win perspective: 1. Users care about the outcome, not the process. So cut to the chase. 2. Third-party app providers want their data protected and not leaked to LLM providers. Most importantly, it provides a way to convert traffic to their own sites, like what they expect from a search engine, rather than being replaced by a feature of an LLM-based app. 3. LLM-based platforms require little effort to support this and can monetize by by replicating traditional methods of recommending and advertising apps. You can try this application at: spellboard.getmegaportal.com I am wondering whether it is a good idea. Please let me know. I am also considering providing an API for third-party web app integration and a client-side code interpreter.

congrats on the launch of spellboard. your vision for iOS 18 homescreen enhancements is intriguing. how do you see third-party developers reacting to the integration of your proposed API in their apps?

@mashy Thank you for your interest and support, Albert! Regarding the integration of the proposed API, I believe third-party developers will see the value in it for several reasons: 1. Enhanced User Experience: The API allows developers to provide a more seamless and interactive experience for users without requiring significant changes to their existing apps. 2. Data Security: By protecting their data and directing traffic back to their own sites, developers can maintain control over their user data and engagement. 3. Monetization Opportunities: The integration can drive traffic to their apps, increasing potential revenue through traditional methods such as in-app purchases and advertisements.
