Nice post and I agree that making software with really simple UX for last mile cases is the solution to the SaaS-pocalypse and is something new that was not possible before AI.

I'm solving this from the other side of the equation: we work directly with the SaaS vendors to make vibe coding embedded into their platform. Working with some Series B companies right now, 2000 business users are now able to build any feature they want, within the guardrails of the SaaS vendor.

Exciting times!

I don't have a horse in this race, but this seems the right way to me. As a developer, I do already inject custom scripts to provide extra functionality / automation on SaaS I use where APIs are not available or limited.

However, the thought of the non-technical users I work with doing that is scary, they have no idea if the code the LLM writes is correct, is it going to have a bug that causes a massive issue down the line?

I've seen fat finger errors cause financial loss, but at least in those cases the user always had a chance to realise their error and fix it, with something like this how would you even know?

I'm glad to hear that it resonates! And yes, being able to provide a guardrailed environment has been the biggest problem that we're solving.

Now every customer can get the power of Claude Code and vibe coding in a safe and controlled environment.

Right on. (Smart take on SaaS, too, BTW)
ty! any CEOs or product people at SaaS companies that come to mind to reach out to? I've been trying to get this in front of more people, so far they're always mind blown when they see how the product works
