About this episode

Nikias Molina interviews Andrés Bou and Horacio Martos about their journey in app development and the future of AI-powered tools on the iPhone.

Today on Inside the Ecosystem , I sit down with Andrés Bou and Horacio Martos, the founders of Socialpoint and Labhouse, to talk about what it really takes to build apps on Apple’s platform for more than 15 years. They started Socialpoint in 2008, just months after the App Store launched, grew it to over 1 billion downloads, and sold it to Take-Two Interactive for around $250 million. Now, with Labhouse, they’re betting on the next era of iPhone apps: AI-powered tools like Invoice Fly, Summary AI, Cleaner GO, and Super AI Chat that turn your phone into a command center for productivity and small businesses. We talk about the early days of the App Store, building global apps from Barcelona, selling a company, the future of AI on iPhone, what Apple’s WWDC 2026 announcements mean for developers, and why the next generation of apps could look completely different.
