The slow end of vertical SaaS
For a decade the playbook was to wrap a workflow in software and charge per seat. AI agents are quietly dissolving the moat — and the tools that survive will be the ones that were never really about the software.
Software used to win by owning a workflow. You learned the tool, your team learned the tool, and the switching cost did the rest. That moat is draining.
The durable products were never about the software — they were about the judgment encoded in it.
What agents change

What survives
Tools that own proprietary data, a trusted brand, or a genuinely hard problem.
