The Future of SaaS

AI as you know it is disrupting industries, and the software industry is at the forefront of this disruption. So what will be the future of SaaS, a model that presents users value for use?

The first and most important impact as we are already seeing is that the barrier for non-technical people to build software they require will drastically drop. This is evident in tools like lovable, bolt, replit etc... where users with no coding experience can whip up apps in a couple of minutes or hours as the case maybe.

Secondly, businesses will have the option to now consider building vs buying no more at the cost of dedicating talent to non core activities because services like Founding.dev built for the core purpose of enabling teams build internal tools without the burden of maintenance exist.

Thirdly software will be commoditized. AI is driving the cost of producing software down, Typically what would cost you assembling talent and thousands of dollars, is now being done with a couple of 100 bucks.

With all of this in play, SaaS products will now need to rethink positioning and the true value they bring to their customers beyond "software"

In all, this is a very interesting time for the human race. With AI going mainstream, the pace of innovation and creativity is bound to take a quantum leap, of course powered by humans. What are your thoughts?
