Yes but now that cookie cutter software can be the starting point. I’m not saying to build it from scratch. There’s probably an open source alternatives to the software you are trying to replace. Use that directly or tell AI to clone it and build it in a stack you understand.

Before AI, the businesses that used Zapier and automation were able to pull ahead of businesses that were still doing things manually. A business that has a custom built software with an agent that can change it on the go will provide even a greater advantage.

I’m building the same but with a malleable SaaS. Basically when you sign up, you get the software deployed and an agent that can control that deployment and code.

But the process is slow. The user wants to add a feature to their app so they ask the AI. The AI has access to a terminal where it can clone, fix, and push. This takes time and isn’t instant.

Once AI can abstract this part, software will change forever. It’s what this post alludes to, does code, PR, etc need to reinvented for this?

Once so, no one would ever use cookie cutter software because you could build your own and maintain it using just an agent.

This is extraordinary reverse engineering. I particularly liked the part about using their own signer but outside of the apk. LLMs have effectively taken the Ads moat for so many of these companies. I can just have an AI rebuild their website to a UI I like using this reverse engineered mobile API.

Just like r/math banning the huge math release by OpenAI. Reddit’s shunning of AI has rendered it useless. I used to find so many projects on Reddit and now, it’s less and less.

X has somehow became the best place to find interesting open-source projects people are building.

I'm building an open-source Shopify for every vertical and built a software factory to do it. I envisioned this before LLMs, but LLMs are finally making it possible!

For most businesses, it’s going to be business as usual. By the time businesses see the benefits of AI, their competitors that actually leveraged AI will have pulled too far ahead.

If the original company has distribution, they can likely catch up, but the gap we see between AI-first companies and the companies not utilizing AI will broaden exponentially in the coming years.

So I have the app deployed to railway with a Postgres database. I give the customer an agent that has the railway skill and basically access to that customers project on railway and they can talk to the agent and it can communicate with app, change the code deploy it again, do migrations.

If open source has these vulnerabilities, imagine proprietary ones.

I’m working on many open-source SaaS and am working on making them malleable from the built in AI. Anyone else working on this?

I agree, a lot of people are making software factories that don’t need them.

You need to look at people making software factories that actually need them to get to their end goal.

My personal software factory has been building an open-source Shopify for every vertical and I think it’s immaculate…no bias.

Oh for sure, he was working for the UK government in some capacity so wanted to make sure everything was by the book.

Yes my friend moved from Sydney to London for work and he said it was a nightmare. He had his job in London lined up but he needed a UK bank account. He couldn’t get a bank account until he had a UK residence. His apartment lease needed his proof of employment.

He had to use his friend’s address for the bank account and then changed it.

I use it in my software factory and it made the applications worse. I didn’t push the changes. I just reverted them.
