Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing, believes the future of smartphones will be driven by AI agents, eventually making traditional apps obsolete. Instead of users interacting with apps, AI would handle tasks behind the scenes through dedicated interfaces.
He suggests developers should adapt by opening their services to AI systems rather than relying on standalone apps. Pei also predicts this shift could take 7–10 years, with operating systems evolving significantly and new AI-focused devices emerging alongside smartphones.
