'My CTO wants to replace all vendors with internal AI agents' sparks Reddit debate

A Reddit poster says their CTO wants to replace all SaaS vendor tools with internal AI agents, and pushes back: agents still struggle with reliability, hallucination, context retention and complex workflows, while SaaS provides consistency, alignment, accountability and access control. If everyone works with different agents across tools, keeping the company on the same data becomes hard. The thread debates whether agents can really replace SaaS.
