> because you could build your own and maintain it

One would argue that the effort to build and maintain it is why we have cookie cutter software, agentic built or not.

Yes but now that cookie cutter software can be the starting point. I’m not saying to build it from scratch. There’s probably an open source alternatives to the software you are trying to replace. Use that directly or tell AI to clone it and build it in a stack you understand.

Before AI, the businesses that used Zapier and automation were able to pull ahead of businesses that were still doing things manually. A business that has a custom built software with an agent that can change it on the go will provide even a greater advantage.
