Are Productivity Apps Getting Boring?

For several years I have been reviewing productivity apps and I think it is really fun. I have enjoyed it even when I had no audience. The applications were fun and it felt like we regularly got applications that offered something new. Many of the applications were also really good at launch. When they came out they had bugs, but mostly they worked even in beta. The apps that had been around for a while often added new interesting features. It felt like the whole space got better and better every month. I loved it and I still review apps. Some of them are still really good and some of them add new interesting features. But as a fan of productivity apps, I feel like many of the apps are just trying to do the same thing. AI automating as much of your workflow as possible. That seems to be the trend going forward.
