ERP•AI and Proto Launch 'Headless SaaS' Where Agents Operate Business Software
SucceededMind · x · 2026-10-16
Enterprise software firm ERP•AI and Proto unveiled "Headless SaaS": for 25 years Salesforce, SAP and peers assumed humans operate the software, and now the software is built for agents and run by an agent.
- Flow: describe the system you need → ERP•AI builds it → Proto takes over, managing records, running workflows and executing actions inside the created software.
- Pricing: no per-user fee for manual work; agent reads, writes and workflows consume credits.
- Onboarding: install skills via curl -fsSL https://apps.erp.ai/api/install | bash, then read skills.json to see what each skill does and connect an existing workspace or build a new system.
- Permissions: the agent gets the same rights as a person, bounded by workspace permissions and approval settings, with audit on every step.
- API pricing: e.g. POST /api/projects/:id/records at roughly 4,000 writes per $1.
- Contest: best build wins a MacBook; the first 100 decent entries get $100 each.
