At first I was partially impressed by the Digital Twin Universe thing they describe. Having worked with 3rd party APIs in a previous life, having something like that would've been so much help.
But after thinking about it more, I think it must be the lowest of low hanging fruits for LLMs. You're building something with well defined specs, most of which is readily available by the original creators, with a UI that only does the bare minimum, and it doesn't need any long-term features like reliability since it's all for internal short-lived use. On top of that, it looks super impressive when used in a demo, because all those applications being mocked are very complicated pieces of software. So to recreate a thin facade of them can look very impressive. And calling it a "Digital Twin Universe" is just icing on the cake.
It is suggesting that we will move towards an “everything must have an API” world.
But at some point you get back to tests, because they are simpler to write.
This is a child of the “no handwritten code” rule. Since they can’t steer tests, they have to do something else to ensure quality.
This is only worth it if the added cost and overhead is cheaper than writing the code.
This seems like it will pull towards building a simulation of your firm, for the simulation to work? Or simulations of your process?
