The framing is a bit dramatic but the underlying shift is real. What AI actually kills is the "wrap an API in a UI" SaaS model. If the value is just presenting data nicely or doing simple transformations, an agent can replace that.

What survives: products with proprietary data, strong network effects, or deep domain expertise baked into the workflow. The moat moves from "we built a UI" to "we understand this problem better than anyone."

I run 4 side projects and the ones getting traction aren't the ones with the fanciest AI features - they're the ones solving specific problems people have repeatedly (meal planning, meeting search). The AI is the engine, not the product.

The real risk for B2B SaaS isn't that AI replaces your product - it's that your customers can now build a "good enough" internal version in a weekend with Claude Code.
