The SaaS model is being disrupted by AI, which commoditizes software creation and shifts enterprise value from vendor-built workflows to customer-owned operational context. The author argues that the future vendor role is to provide a 'system of context' — an open source control plane connecting AI utilities, domain workflows, and enterprise systems. To embody this thesis, the author's company built AURA, an open source agentic framework that lets enterprises assemble their own AI stack without vendor lock-in, while benefiting from shared reliability patterns and domain templates.
