Over the weekend, I analyzed public YouTube tutorials of 4 SaaS products in the same domain. Then I asked the coding agent to define an API where they converge — prior art. Today I'm working on creating dashboards that won't touch anyone's copyright or IP.

A couple of days ago, something interesting happened. The agent works in an iteration loop where each iteration is an endpoint. I let it run overnight. In the morning it was still cranking away even though it had finished all the API endpoints. It had found a changelog from one of the companies listing every single feature and bug, and decided on its own to implement every item as an iteration.

We are 2 to 3 months away from coding agents replicating solving the edge cases of most SaaS applications.
