The shift from traditional SaaS to AI-assisted development creates a winner-take-most dynamic where coding velocity becomes cheap but integration complexity becomes expensive. The economic moat shifts from proprietary code to proprietary data and workflows. This accelerates consolidation: small specialized tools get absorbed into platforms that can offer end-to-end AI automation, while standalone point solutions face margin compression as their core value (custom code) becomes commoditized.
