ChatGPT and Beyond with Fexingo · 2026-08-02 · 10 min
When every big tech company pushes AI assistants, you'd think standalone AI apps would be dead. Instead, a surprising number of small developers are finding real revenue in the App Store. Lucas and Luna dig into the economics behind this quiet boom - from subscription fatigue to the rise of 'one-trick-pony' utilities that do one thing brilliantly - and look at why Apple's recent fee changes and the spread of local-first AI are giving indie developers a second wind. They also touch on the contrast with the struggling AI hardware market, where even a huge player like Arm is down ten percent this week. If you've ever wondered whether there's still room for great software in the AI era, this episode is for you. #AIApps #AppStore #IndieDevs #GenerativeAI #ProductivityTools #SubscriptionEconomy #Apple #LocalAI #TechTrends #BusinessStrategy #SoftwareRevenue #DeveloperEconomy #AIRegulation #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechNews #DigitalEconomy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
