How AI will disrupt SaaS

Even today, free or low-cost AI solutions are starting to pose threats to the justification for SaaS spend. And looking to the future, AI will change our reliance on these tools. Here’s how AI is disrupting Saas:

 

1. You can build the functionality yourself

A few weeks ago, I worked on a post about microapps, completely custom tools that are coded by AI from a simple text prompt. This includes apps like Bolt and Replit, which are essentially vibe-coding tools that let non-coders create fully functional, deployed apps. 

 

The huge benefit of these tools is that they allow you to create solutions for specific, unique workflows for almost no money. Once these apps become mainstream, companies will be a lot less likely to subscribe to a SaaS tool that can only deliver a one-size-fits-all solution.
