Legacy SaaS products are overpriced and rigid now that AI has slashed software build costs

AAI has reduced software production costs by 10 to 100 times, eliminating the moat that protected legacy SaaS incumbents. The opportunity is AI-native replacements, from simple one-tenth-price clones to full workflow redesigns and open-source alternatives to expensive enterprise software. The biggest prizes are seemingly invulnerable products such as chip design software, ERPs, industrial control systems, and supply chain management built on millions of lines of legacy code.
