Why it matters

Ex-Microsoft Windows president and a16z partner Steven Sinofsky on how AI rewrites enterprise software: from tools to agents, subscriptions to outcomes, and why AI-native companies will disrupt legacy SaaS.

Key takeaways

  • Enterprise software shifts from systems of record to systems of intelligence.
  • AI agents redefine software's boundary: software acts, not just records.
  • Pricing shifts from per-seat to per-outcome.
  • For founders: AI-native architecture is a once-in-20-years rewrite opportunity.
