Opinion: SaaS becomes the harness and window into agents — guardrails plus visibility
StatisticianKey7858 · reddit · 2026-09-22
The author argues enterprise SaaS's value is shifting from solving tasks to two things: the harness (guardrails, permissions, and cloud environments that let agents act safely) and visibility (giving humans a clear view into what agents do, why, and where they go wrong).
He predicts enterprises will split between building this harness + visibility layer in-house and adopting infrastructure platforms that run and observe agents in the cloud rather than executing blind.
