The shift from waiting for official updates to users embedding AI agents directly into existing applications represents a crack in software gatekeeping—ScreenFlow users aren't petitioning for features, they're wrapping the app with their own logic. This works only because AI models have become cheap and accessible enough to run locally or via simple API calls, turning any application into an extensibility platform whether the developer intended it or not. The tension here isn't technical but economic: if users can reliably add their own "smart" layers, developers lose control over what constitutes their product and when features ship.
