Software used to be static - a UI, some forms, and a database. But AI agents are redefining that. Instead of logging into a dashboard, users increasingly ask for outcomes. The agent handles the execution.

For example, consider a marketing SaaS. Rather than building a campaign manually, a user could tell the AI agent, "Generate a 3-day launch plan for my new product." The agent handles audience segmentation, writes email copy, creates visuals, and schedules the launch.

This shift has huge implications. Apps will need fewer screens and more conversational interfaces. Pricing may shift from per-seat to per-outcome. And onboarding becomes about teaching the user how to communicate with their agent.

Forward-thinking SaaS founders are already adapting. They’re building APIs and interfaces for agents to use, not just humans. In the near future, your biggest competitor might not be another app - it might be a better agent.
