Vishal Dubey(@vishal_dubey):As these “Super App” platforms fight for knowledge workers, one thing that doesn't get covered enough is how quickly the vendor lock-in begins. For example, Grok Bot only uses Grok models, and if you want it to make code changes, your bots will use Cursor Cloud agents. Using one product immediately upsells you into the xAI ecosystem. The Super App you choose can end up determining which models, coding agents, and tools you keep paying for, even if none of those were the reason you chose it.
