The Death of SaaS: Why We Build Service-as-Software
For the last decade, "Software as a Service" meant renting a tool that you had to operate yourself. You paid for the login, but the labor was yours.
But AI changes the unit of value.
When software can *do* the work—not just facilitate it—the model shifts from "Seat-based" to "Work-based". This is **Service-as-Software**.
## The Labor Arbitrage
Traditional agencies hire humans to do work. Traditional SaaS builds tools for humans to do work.
Service-as-Software (what we build at Getconvi) combines them: AI agents executing agency-level work at software-level margins.
### Why this matters now
1. **Context Windows**: LLMs can now hold enough context to understand "Project State", not just "Task State".
2. **Agentic Loops**: Systems like our Telecallers.ai don't just speak; they navigate logic trees, update CRMs, and retry on failure.
3. **Cost vs Value**: Paying $10k/mo for a human BDR is expensive. Paying $10k/mo for an agent that makes 50x the calls is a bargain.
## The Future is Outcomes
We believe the next generation of unicorns won't sell "tools". They will sell "results".
- Instead of "Email Marketing Software", you buy "Qualified Leads".
- Instead of "CRM Software", you buy "Customer Retention".
This is why Getconvi operates as a venture studio. We don't just ship code; we ship operating systems that deliver these outcomes.
