If you’ve been tracking the pulse of AI in 2025, you’ve probably felt it too: we’ve crossed a threshold. The era of AI as a mere coding assistant is over. We’re now witnessing the rise of autonomous software development agents—tools that don’t just help, but work for you.
“We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started. Humanity is close to building digital superintelligence, and at least so far it’s much less weird than it seems like it should be.”
Until recently, AI tools like Claude Code and Codex were handy copilots, speeding up repetitive coding tasks or offering suggestions. But something fundamental changed this spring. For the first time, these agents started taking on entire projects, analyzing massive, undocumented codebases, and producing results that would have taken human teams weeks.
Imagine feeding an AI 100,000 lines of legacy code—no documentation, just raw logic. Instead of giving up, the agent reads, analyzes, and documents every file, function, and database collection. It then enlists peer AIs to review its work, cross-checking for accuracy. The result? Complete, usable documentation in 48 hours, for the cost of a few API calls. This isn’t just incremental progress—it’s a leap.
What’s truly groundbreaking is the emergence of self-improving AI systems. Today’s top agents aren’t just writing code; they’re writing better prompts, orchestrating workflows, and iterating on their own outputs. Need a new feature built from a customer request? Give the agent your support data and codebase access—it will spec, build, and test the feature, often without human intervention.
This meta-capability—the ability to both generate and refine its own instructions—unlocks a new level of automation. We’re edging closer to software that not only maintains itself but actively enhances its own capabilities.
This shift isn’t theoretical. It’s driving real investment and strategic pivots. Companies are now raising capital specifically to acquire and automate SaaS products, betting that AI-native operations can outperform traditional teams. The focus: acquiring stable, profitable SaaS businesses and transforming them into self-operating assets, managed by a lean team focused on platform-level improvements rather than individual product firefighting.
For SaaS founders, this presents a new kind of exit: sell your business to an AI-powered operator, participate in the upside, and move on to your next venture—no golden handcuffs required.
If you’re a developer or technologist, the frontier has shifted. The most exciting work isn’t tweaking individual apps, but building the systems that enable entire portfolios of SaaS products to run, improve, and grow autonomously. The skills in demand: orchestrating AI agents, designing self-documenting workflows, and architecting platforms that minimize human bottlenecks.
The takeoff has started. AI agents are no longer just tools—they’re becoming autonomous builders, reviewers, and operators. For SaaS founders, technologists, and content creators, the challenge now is to adapt: build for automation, optimize for answers, and position yourself at the forefront of this accelerating shift.
The question isn’t whether AI will change how we build and operate software businesses. It’s whether you’ll be on the rocket—or watching from the ground.
