I mean, how many SaaS startups are just UIs around Postgres databases?

What are some truly valuable companies that would be accurately described as just "UIs around Postgres"?

I think it's a non-sequitur - either companies are much more than just UIs around a DB, or those companies just aren't very valuable (in which case, who cares).

The exact same holds for the pure AI wrappers - they'll end up similarly valued to UIs around Postgres.
Only difference is those startups don't rub it into your face they're database-based.
How many startups are UIs around rsync?
