Ep. 025 | Software Is Dead (And Your Subscriptions Are Next)
The software industry as we know it is on borrowed time — and the subscription model may be next. Michael and Frank make the case that AI is about to fundamentally disrupt how software gets built and sold, and what that means for the tools small business owners are paying for every month.
Topics: software is dying · AI replaces software · subscription software future · AI-built apps

Frequently Asked Questions
Is traditional software being replaced by AI?
Increasingly, yes. AI can now build custom tools on demand that replace what used to require purchasing and learning off-the-shelf software. The shift is early but accelerating. This episode explains what's happening and why.
Will AI replace the apps I pay for every month?
Many SaaS subscriptions — especially for niche business tasks — will face serious pressure from AI tools that do the same job for less. This episode helps you evaluate which of your subscriptions are at risk and what to replace them with.
How does AI change the cost of building software for small businesses?
Dramatically. Tasks that used to require a $10,000 developer engagement can now be done with AI for a fraction of the cost. Michael and Frank break down what's actually affordable now and how to take advantage.
