The article argues that AI weakens traditional software moats built around code complexity, feature depth and developer ecosystems. As code becomes easier to create and migrate, defensibility shifts toward proprietary data, regulated workflows, trusted networks, network effects and vertical depth.
Why it matters for Billee
A bill payment product cannot rely on generic UI alone. The durable value is in understanding messy bill data, building trust with users and providers, fitting into payment and compliance workflows, and becoming embedded in the real rhythm of household bills.
The Billee take
