We’re reaching the limits of app-based creation—and there’s a new vision in town: Layer OS. What if your tools weren’t chosen before you started working, but emerged during the process, adapting as you moved?

TL;DR

1. Today’s apps are fragmented silos; LayerOS proposes a fluid, evolving interface.
2. Tools should appear as you work—not force you to choose them upfront.
3. Image and AI workflows are currently too separate; integration is overdue.
4. Multimodal creation and predictive interfaces are the next UI frontier.
5. LayerOS could function like an LLM OS—predicting interface needs instead of next words.

In this brainstream, I go deep into the fractured nature of today’s apps and why we need a unified, predictive interface model—where your idea grows, and the interface evolves with it. Think of it like the operating system powered by AI prediction, surfacing tools layer by layer. I also touch on image generation, multimodal workspaces, and how we might finally break free from app silos.

Ready to move beyond apps and into layers? Let’s build the future.
