AI Agents Are Dismantling the $1.3T SaaS Industry
Top Insights
China’s Autonomous Agent, Manus, May Change Everything
Manus AI marks a fundamental shift in artificial intelligence. The company claims it's the first truly autonomous AI that works without human oversight. Most AI systems wait for instructions. Manus doesn't. It initiates tasks on its own. It makes its own decisions.
What makes this revolutionary is its similarity to self-replication capabilities in other Chinese AI research. Some systems can already copy themselves with 90% success rates. Manus takes autonomy even further. It operates continuously in the cloud. It works even when users are offline.
The implications are profound - when AI can work independently without human guidance, the balance of technological power could fundamentally shift.
Tech Entrepreneur Greg Isenberg: AI Agents Are Dismantling the $1.3T SaaS Industry
Tech entrepreneur Greg Isenberg argues we're witnessing the collapse of the SaaS business model as AI agents hollow it out from within.
He outlines three phases: First, AI acts as co-pilot (happening now). Next, AI becomes autonomous operator, replacing human software users. Finally, AI will bypass interfaces entirely, accessing APIs directly.
Most SaaS companies don't see this coming because it's not traditional disruption with better features - it's the elimination of humans operating software. Meanwhile, AI coding tools let companies build custom solutions instead of paying for subscriptions.
The winners will be those with agent-friendly APIs, not just AI features.

Anthropic CEO: AI Will Write 90% of Code Within Months
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei made a bold prediction: AI will write 90% of code within 3-6 months and "essentially all code" within a year. Though developers will initially provide design specifications, Amodei believes AI will eventually take over completely, stating "we will eventually reach the point where the AIs can do everything that humans can."
This shift is already happening. Y Combinator reports 25% of their 2025 winter batch startups have 95% of their code generated by AI. The IMF expects AI to impact 40% of global jobs, potentially reducing demand for many positions.
