# Applications become functionality
A person doesn't fundamentally need an app. They need a result — for example: "Find the best electricity contract for my circumstances." The personal environment can invoke whatever functionality is required. The user does not necessarily need another account, another app, another silo, another profile, or another database holding their information.[^word-brief-20260922]
