You can take it a step further and strip out the frontend. Honestly. Nobody needs it and if you need any UI stuff it in the MCP.

This is what I did with this project https://github.com/crmkit/crmkit/ and to be honest the approach grows on me and fits well if you are a backend person.

I like the direction! But why stop with CRM functionality with very limited schema for tasks on the headless when OP has a lot more to offer there? Why stop at CRM plus Project Management then? Why not also schemas for ERP, HR, finance tools and all other business software? And we even bother with a custom made API when PostgreSQL and PostgREST could reduce the full thinking to the database schema?

I’m actually building an open-source Shopify for every vertical. The schema for each vertical is different and we are using Postgres. It comes with a built-in AI that you can ask to add new products, change prices, etc.

The next evolution for this is to allow users to use the AI to change the database schema itself. Like if someone is using our restaurant software and wants to start selling merch. I’d want them to be able to use the AI to change the database schema and add products and shipping from the e-commerce one.

I really do think that is the future of SaaS. You start from a base SaaS and the AI customizes it to your business over time.

you can, yes, and the db becomes model weights that you can just use lookups for retrieval and have attention live in vram.

"Nobody needs it"

"Fits me well"

So maybe don't speak for everybody?

I need it, I want it. Why speaking out for me?

You can take it a step even further and strip out all the code too!
