In 2025, everyone's asking the same question: Should you bet your next startup on traditional SaaS or go all-in on AI Agents? Let's break this down: - SaaS = Business Model (you sell software as a monthly subscription) - Agent = Technology (AI software that can understand tasks and work independently) First off - this isn't an either/or choice. You can actually build a SaaS product that uses AI agents inside it. Think of Adept or AutoGPT - they're AI agents that can actually navigate the web and use tools to complete tasks for you. The Market in 2025: - SaaS is still solid. Companies know how it works, they're used to paying monthly for software, and the whole business model is proven - AI Agents are new and exciting, but the market is still figuring them out. Some businesses are jumping in, while others are watching carefully What should you do? 1. Build something you actually understand and care about 2. Consider starting with a focused SaaS product that solves a real problem, then add AI capabilities as they make sense 3. Most importantly - talk to potential customers. Don't just build something because it's trendy The best products solve real problems, regardless of whether they use the latest AI or not. Focus on that first, then pick the right technology to solve it.
