Extensible Software: LLMs & Sandboxes Powering User Extensions

Summary & Key Takeaways ​

  • Jeremy Morrell proposes a new opportunity for extensible web software.
  • LLMs significantly reduce the cost of authoring software extensions.
  • Modern sandbox primitives lower deployment costs and enhance security.
  • This combination allows users to safely extend applications.
  • The core app remains accountable while users gain "superpowers."

Our Commentary ​

This idea feels like it's been bubbling for a while, but the LLM angle genuinely changes the game. The thought of users just describing an extension and having an agent build it within a secure sandbox is wild. It's a future I'm both excited and slightly terrified by. The implications for user empowerment are huge, but so are the potential complexities.
