There are numerous projections and predictions on the supposed use case for web 4.0
Ranging from IOT on the web to AI and self learning web to smart web . One thing common to all these predictions is the awkward incitement and use of AI and bots which are already a part of the unity web( web 2.0), this usage of Artificial intelligence would help with search engines on the web and helps in reducing human involvement in the decentralized world of the web  . The web hasn't seen such advancement before and this would also incorporate the use of metaverse.
Apart from the IOT , the 
 emotional neutrality of web 3 is alternated in web 4.0 i.e there is daily emotional support and communication  between users and web ,this would also need incorporating different programming languages and different use cases.

Web 4.0 services will be autonomous, proactive, content-exploring, self-learning, collaborative, and content-generating agents based on fully matured semantic and reasoning technologies as well as AI. They will support adaptive content presentation that will use the Web database via an intelligent agent.
Web 4.0 is a new evolution of the Web paradigm based on multiple models, technologies and social relationships. The concept of Web 4.0 is not totally clear and unanimous in literature, because it is composed by several dimensions. In this sense
