It is going away for non tech companies though.

Imagine you are a company that sells concrete. You have a web dev contractor you use to build and maintain your website. It has tools on it to get delivery quotes and a few internal tools to track orders.

Except now you can just have your sales team also maintain the website with a $20/month Claude subscription.

They said the same about low code and no code when they appeared. That didn't happen. And it won't happen now too. Sales people, managers etc don't want to dabble in technical things and do not want the responsibility.

I don't know about Claude, but I know that $20 of Copilot doesn't get you very far these days even when you know enough to tell it what to do.

They might try that for a bit but then come crawling to an agency because their setup turned to slop. We have some clients like that already. Going to be a pretty big market.
