The bottleneck shifted but didn't disappear. Getting to a working prototype in a weekend is real, but error handling, edge cases, and ops work hasn't gotten much faster. Distribution is completely unchanged too. A lot of these 'where are the AI apps' questions are really asking why there aren't more successful AI businesses, which is a harder and very different problem.

I don't think people are using AI to create new dependencies that they're then submitting to open source package managers (which is what this shows)

This is more useful for discussing what kind of projects AI is being used for than whether it's being used.

Internally, we've created such good debugging tools that can aggregate a lot from a lot of sources. We've yet to address the quality of vibecoded critical applications so they aren't merged, but one off tools for incall,alert debugging and internal workflows has skyrocketed.

While a good post the title is a bit ambiguous. The post is about applications created using AI not applications with AI functionality embedded.

So far, as sideloaded APKs on my tablet. Most recently one that makes it easier to learn Dutch and quiz myself based on captions from tv shows

There are more apps, fewer libraries.

You don't need as many libraries when functionality can be vibe-coded.

You don't need help from the open source community when you have an AI agent.

The apps are probably mostly websites and native apps, not necessarily published to PyPI.

"Show HN" has banned vibe-coded apps because there's been so many.

The first 80% is the easy part, and good ol' Visual Basic was fabulous at it, but the last 80% is the time suck.

Same with vibe-coded stuff.

Title asks where the AI apps are. Analysis looks at Python libraries. Kind of a non-sequitur, no?

My guess - these are not not on PyPI because of libraries. AI generating is good when you don't care about how your app works, when implementation details does not matter.

When you are developing library it's exact opposite - you really care about how it works and which interface it provides so you end up writing it mostly by hand.
