Goodbye Niche SaaS Companies

It's cheaper to have AI build you your software rather than pay for it yourself. Let me explain.

We live in a world where one of the things AI is best at right now is coding.

It can't do a lot of the enterprise-grade stuff by default (security, data privacy, things like that tend to require more technical know-how), but it can most certainly set up basic scheduling software, booking systems, or CRMs.

That could mean using vibe coding platforms like Lovable or Bolt, or going direct with OpenAI's Codex or Anthropic's Claude Code.

The real implication here is that you no longer have to sit through the pain of broken software or a missing integration, because you can actually just build the integration yourself. Or build the custom piece of software to close that gap.

For example, if you've ever thought "I wish I had a proposal generator that worked in this exact way based on how my contracts are written" but nothing like that exists, you can describe the exact feeling and function you're missing to an AI, and it will build it for you.

You might need to tweak it a little to make sure everything works correctly (that's normal), but hopefully you get my point.
