Every SaaS business will become a harness around a model

A widely shared essay argues that software-as-a-service companies will be reduced to thin layers of workflow, integrations and guardrails wrapped around large AI models. The piece claims the underlying model will do the core value-generating work, while the company's job becomes harnessing it safely for customers. Readers are debating whether traditional SaaS moats like UX, data and distribution can survive that shift.

Why now: It challenges the investment thesis of the entire SaaS industry at a moment when AI is rapidly reshaping software economics.
