Are AI tools becoming interfaces… or infrastructure?

At first, tools like ChatGPT or Claude felt like destinations — you go there, ask something, get an answer.

But now they’re increasingly being embedded into:

-IDEs
-browsers
-internal tools
-workflows and automations

Which raises an interesting shift:

Are AI tools still “products” — or are they becoming invisible infrastructure that powers everything else?

If that’s true, then maybe the winning products won’t be the best chat interfaces — but the ones that integrate deeply into real workflows and disappear in the process.

So where do you see the future:
→ standalone AI tools people visit
→ or AI becoming a layer inside every product?
