Depending on how you look at the film, you can argue that Agent Smith is Neo, just the dissociated/unintegrated aspects of Neo which are constantly engaged with the sysiphean effort to wage one's ego as a weapon against the world.
Neo's struggle with Smith in the end is emblematic of their being of one body and one mind. Neo's frees himself from this struggle by activating the power of choice. "Why do you continue ton fight?" "Because I choose to."
Choice is the activating power which returns responsibility for one's story to oneself. Whereas decisions displace the responsibility of one's action, choice embraces the entirety of what results without need to engage in the never ending cycle of justifications.
What Neo chooses in the end is his choiclessness. His choosing choicelessness remakes the Matrix by integrating the dissociated aspects and latent potentials which he represented.
By remaking oneself anew, it is as though the whole world is remade anew.
