Jenny Wanger Built an AI That Critiques Her After Every Call

Jenny Wanger built an AI that critiques her after every call. Not a polished dashboard, not a subscription tool. A disposable one that lives in her workflow and tells her what she did wrong — and what she should try next.

It's a small thing. But it points to something bigger about how software is shifting from permanent to disposable. Tools that used to stay in our pockets are becoming more like temporary helpers, useful for a moment and then set aside. Software is becoming less about owning a platform and more about borrowing what works right now.

This isn't Silicon Valley thinking. It's the kind of shift you notice when the cousin who runs the side business starts using whatever tool gets the job done today, even if it disappears tomorrow. The software isn't the point anymore. The work is.

Why this matters for us: as software gets more disposable, we stop getting locked into expensive subscriptions and start building our own tools that work for the people we actually know.
