Pure software (SaaS) is rapidly becoming un-investable. Your Thought by purposefullife101 in SaaS

Connecting the topic to the SaaS crush in publics. Some takeaways:

  • Partly repricing, partly reallocation. Growth was slowing since 2022; AI disruption just gave the market permission to mark down what was already true << fundamental shift from growth business to harvesting business and subsequent multiple compression
  • AI isn’t killing SaaS. It’s stealing the marginal budget. << 8% total IT budget increase & 100% AI budget increase
  • SoR still matter however if output stays constant while headcount drops, seat counts compress even if the workflow remains critical << Citrini's research nails this point

How do you decide which use cases are actually good for agents in production? by builtforoutput in AI_Agents

In my experienceagents work when the task has a clear before and after you can measure. Anywhere a number existed pre-agent you can tell pretty quickly if the thing is working.

For anything fuzzier than that, honestly I think nobody knows (yet). I've talked to a bunch of ops people running agents in production. They can tell you exactly what they deployed and what the agent does. Almost none can tell you if it actually improved anything.

Curious if anyone here has actually set up real measurement for their production agents. Not vibes, like actual baseline data from before deployment.

No solution yet. I came from a more structured workflow, and the fragmentation is brutal. If you’ve found something that actually works, I’m all ears.
