The Silent Collapse of SaaS: How AI Agents Are Rewriting the Software Playbook
Manage episode 473295957 series 3645872
In this episode of Dean Does QA, I walk through the research and analysis behind my latest article on the dismantling of the SaaS model. From AI copilots to fully autonomous operators, I break down the three phases of this transformation, how traditional SaaS metrics are becoming misleading, and why the next generation of software may not look like software at all.
We explore:
- How AI agents are bypassing user interfaces
- Why workflows and expertise are being unbundled from software
- The implications for pricing, APIs, and product design
- Startup opportunities in vertical AI and agent orchestration
- How SaaS incumbents can pivot before the ground disappears beneath them
Whether you are a founder, product leader, investor, or tester, this is not a trend to watch. It is a paradigm to respond to.
