## Resource

So, quick context before we dive in. A couple of weeks ago I published a piece on my blog about how AI agents are quietly breaking the SaaS pricing model. And honestly? I didn't expect what happened next. The post just… took off. My inbox has been wild. CFOs, founders, a few VCs, even a couple of procurement leads who I'm pretty sure have never emailed anyone voluntarily in their lives. All asking the same kinds of questions. Hosted on Acast.
