With over one million users on his generative architecture platform, Patrick has a front-row seat to the radical shifts in how software is built and consumed. In this episode, we explore Patrick’s bold thesis on the "death of SaaS," where AI is heading in the next 24 months, and the specific strategies companies must use to AGI-proof their products before traditional software models become obsolete.🎯 Insights You’ll Learn:✓ The Death of SaaS: Why the traditional subscription model is facing an existential crisis✓ AGI-Proofing: How to build defensible software in a world of autonomous intelligence✓ Where AI is Headed: The transition from co-pilots to fully independent agents✓ Generative Architecture: How Maket scaled to 1M users by rethinking the design process✓ Moving beyond the interface: Why the next wave of winners will focus on outcomes, not tools✓ Lessons from the frontlines: Balancing rapid AI growth with long-term business stability✓ Why the democratization of design is just the beginning for generative technology🌍 Why This Matters:The "SaaS gold rush" is over.
