short description might be a good idea.

basically says that AI (artificial intelligence) is used to code programs for users. and because linux usually has compiling tools available on user's system, ai can create app in on device, cloud is not needed. somehow this idea would revolutionize user experience in contrast to android and ios, where apps need to be approved.

i'm not a giant fan of AI. generate huge load of garbage, wastes electricity and is overmarketed by certain companies. although, if this is done locally on user's machine, i might be tolerable to this idea. i still have serious reservations.

although one issue, but still important. what might be serious holdout for alternate operating systems and even technical basic phones, are some crucial apps which depend on closed platforms like google play services, like banking apps. some users need smartphone with closed components for these crucial apps. even un-googled lineageos is not an option for these.

I think expecting "AI" to be a solution here is like an AI "hallucination". Even if I thought AI were up to the task and could be trusted; having separate, unique, apps for each use case is problematic. It's like the popular driving mentality where each driver must always be in front, in the fast lane, and aversely affecting everyone else.
