Story

The DEV Community post describes one self-hosted app collapsing Trello, Notion, Gmail, Zapier, and a chatbot into an agent system with real execution primitives: retries, a dead-letter queue, task delegation. It's a single-builder anecdote, so directional only. But it's exactly the cross-category collapse the unbundling thesis predicts at the SMB tier, and the execution primitives are what separate it from yet another chat wrapper.
