Tech is saturated with SaaS apps. The days of a viral app store launch are gone. What remains are boring industries in need of innovation, but little appetite for new tools

SaaS can still work, but self-serve and solutions are more important than ever.


Let's say you've built the perfect SaaS: you've built the perfect tool for a customer and put it in front of them, excited to save them time/money/energy. And?

They don't want it! They don't want to learn your new fancy software.

But what do they want? Solutions: someone to do the job for them. That person doing the job could be leveraging SaaS on the backend, but these businesses have 0 appetite for doing the new work themselves.

AI enables solutions to scale. Operations, communication overhead, manual sales processes: this is all ripe for automation + AI. What was once a fixed linear cost scaling has become a more attractive curve.


I've been using both ChatGPT and Claude daily for months, and noticed many of my peers switching to Claude as their workhorse LLM. As a product engineer, I wanted to understand why.

My take: ChatGPT's advanced features (persistent memory, infinite customization) actually create UX friction for most users. Claude's opinionated defaults and consistent personality just work better out of the box.

This mirrors classic product lessons: the iPhone won not because it had more features than Android, but because it required less configuration. Feelings beat features in consumer tech.

Curious if others are seeing similar adoption patterns? And for those who prefer ChatGPT, what keeps you?
