SaaS >> Agents-as-a-Service (AaaS)

Paradigm shift:

From delivering “software-as-a-service” for people, to delivering “service-as-a-software” powered by AI Agents

The shift from SaaS to AaaS pushes SaaS companies to evolve from static software to AI-driven, autonomous agents, transforming their business models and user experiences. Users benefit from intelligent automation and proactive decision-making, reducing manual effort and enabling seamless, self-optimizing workflows.

Key Differences

From static software to autonomous agents – Agents execute tasks instead of users.

From manual workflows to AI-driven automation – Agents predict and act dynamically.

From dashboards to decision-making AI – Agents make real-time choices.

From single tools to multi-agent collaboration – Agents work across domains.
