Recently, there is a consensus that AI will eliminate programmers.
But what is the reality? The first to be eliminated are SaaS (Salesforce stock plummeted as proof). Then apps. But apps may not disappear, 90% of apps will become "invisible services." AI Agents are not just tools; they are a new business model platform. AI didn't kill software; AI killed the "interface." In the future, enterprise structures will be divided into three layers: Frontend: AI Agent (users only talk to AI, no need to click buttons) Middle layer: Automation engines (Make, n8n, Flowise) Backend: Databases / Systems (Feishu, enterprises, CRM, ERP) This is the business model in the AI era: User → AI Agent → Automation → Systems → Data Feedback
