I'm wondering if this will actually be happening at scale. It's great that it's possible and I think this kind of extremely specific software is great.
I myself have built an app to help me do 2 hours of deep work on a personal (non-job) project. It's extremely opinionated to help ME specifically (can't add more than 3 active projects, minimal interface etc.)
But I wonder how many people will truly do this kind of thing. I feel like this will be done by people who previously maintained spreadsheets or copious notes for their projects, which has always been a minority.
But that is a tiny fraction of people. We can also theoretically make any dish at home from scratch (and be opinionated about ingredients), but people still go to restaurants for things they could whip up in 20 minutes.

I think the same will be true for software.
