AI as Coordinator: Why SaaS Must Bundle or Die

Short summary

AI agents are replacing humans as primary SaaS users, but agents fail across disconnected tools—every API boundary becomes a failure point. Competitive advantage shifts from UX (human experience) to AX (agent experience), favoring vertically integrated platforms with unified data models and clean APIs. Point solutions built on beautiful interfaces lose their moat when agents don't care about dashboards and just call APIs.

• •Competitive advantage shifts from UX to AX (Agent Experience), requiring vertical integration and unified data models
• •Point solutions with strong UIs lose their moat when agents become primary users making API calls, not humans clicking dashboards
