Featured event
The End of SaaS as You Know It: Niche Agents, Workflow Capital & Death of the UI
Add to your calendar - https://streamyard.com/watch/kWSTRGrV6uUb
Speaker: Ivan Lee, CEO at Datasaur
For 20 years, SaaS was simple: build once, sell 10,000 times, and scale to $100M+ on the back of a generic product and a slick UI. AI agents quietly break that model.
In an agent-native world, the real IP isn’t the app - it’s your workflows. The most valuable agents will be deeply wired into an individual organization’s data, permissions, edge cases, and “unwritten rules.” That means every serious deployment becomes bespoke: custom integrations, domain-specific behavior, and guardrails that map to your risk posture. And if an agent genuinely captures your secret sauce, you’re not going to let a vendor productize it and sell it to your competitors.
This session will cover:
- Why “one-size-fits-most” SaaS UIs give way to invisible, workflow-native agents
- How agent customization, not features, becomes the core value driver
- What this shift means for software buyers (owning your workflows) and vendors (moving from products to primitives, platforms, and services)
- Strategic implications for valuation, defensibility, and GTM in a world where no two agents look the same
If your roadmap still assumes classic SaaS economics, you’re already behind.
