AI agents are changing how companies buy and sell software. I break down which parts of your software stack still earn their price, why the agent you trained gets harder to replace, and what to do about it at work.

The common story is that agents make SaaS obsolete, but the real question is which layer you're still paying for: the data, the application, or the agent. In this video, I share the inside scoop on how agents are changing software: - Why the old tool gets easier to leave while your agent gets harder - How Meta, Salesforce, Microsoft, and DoorDash are positioning for agents - What Crustdata and Workday show about building versus buying software - Where you fit as an employee, a buyer, or a seller Every software decision now runs through the data, application, and agentic layers, and the people who can explain how they use AI will shape what gets bought.
