Tiktok but with AI-generated interactive mini apps. Hear me out...
Something I've been thinking about lately. Right now the most addictive form of social media is short videos. But what's actually more engaging than watching something? Playing something. Interacting with it.
Like imagine instead of scrolling through videos you were scrolling through little games, tools, apps. Things you can actually touch and play with. That wasn't really possible before because making even a simple game took weeks. But now AI can generate a working interactive app from a single sentence in seconds.
Plus problem number one for anyone vibe coding, how do you distribute your app - especially if it's something small and silly? You're not going to bother making a landing page for it and buying a domain. And ideally, people would like to share their experience using some product like this, so a social media format seems perfect.
It feels like once generative AI gets good enough to make whatever we want on the fly, social media kind of has to go in this direction right? Why would you watch a video of something when you could just play it yourself. I think in the future, every influencer is going to take a video and generate some kind of game out of it to make it more engaging and personalized. Would require something like generating 3D models on the fly to make it really good.
Actually found a few apps that're already doing this (kinda). One is called Minis im, one is called Rosebud, theres a few more you can find if you google. But I don't think any of them are making any money since it's a hard-to-monetize concept.
Curious what this community thinks. Is this where things are heading or is interactive content too niche to go mainstream? I think as AI gets better and better, this will start to become a thing, but it's a bit early.
