Is SaaS Bound to Become AGAAS? (Agentic As A Service)

This episode focused on where AI is becoming genuinely useful and where it is still unreliable enough to create real problems. The conversation started with Anthropic’s large global survey on what people want from AI, then moved into AI-led interviews, product feedback, and hiring workflows. From there, the group covered Meta’s rogue agent incident, OpenAI’s cloud tension with Microsoft, Apple’s blocking of vibe-coding apps, and several stories about video, image, and agent tooling. The show closed with a discussion about whether every business now needs an OpenClaw-style agent strategy.
