We're moving from the 'there's an app for that' era to the 'there's a prompt for that' era. The issue for single-purpose SaaS isn't just the AI features, it's the high 'context switching' cost. If I can achieve the same result within my primary IDE or communication tool using a specialized agent, why would I maintain a separate subscription and login? The survival of SaaS in 2026 depends on deep ecosystem integration, not just isolated utility.
