The enterprise software landscape is facing a profound architectural shift. Imagine a system so intuitive it automatically adapts to an employee's growing skills. This was once a dream, but AI is making it possible. The core challenge now is how to fuse the flexibility of AI with the certainty of SaaS. From the perspective of the Vertu VPS, this future is defined by a “three-layer architecture” and a clear “winner-takes-all” market consolidation. The VPS is your essential AI Agent Phone built to navigate this complex new reality.
The “Best Couple” Model: AI at the Application Layer, SaaS Below
To overcome the instability of Large Language Models (LLM) while leveraging their power, the future of enterprise software requires a symbiotic relationship between AI and SaaS.
- The Pragmatic Architecture: The most pragmatic architecture places AI at the application layer to handle personalization and flexible interaction (like automatically adjusting the interface complexity based on user skills). This maximizes efficiency gains. Simultaneously, established SaaS systems retreat to the business logic layer, providing deterministic core capabilities (like permissions, data security, and core processes) via APIs. This ensures stability and security, acting as a “stabilizing anchor” for the AI.
- Maximizing Investment: This layering maximizes the strengths of each technology. It allows enterprises to embrace the personalization brought by AI while ensuring core business certainty, validating years of investment in SaaS while preparing for the AI future.
The “Winner Takes All” Logic and the Role of the VPS
This architectural shift will not lead to a fragmented market; instead, it is predicted to cause a consolidation of the application layer and a concentration of the business layer.
- Platform Dominance in the Application Layer: Platform companies (like WeChat Work or DingTalk, which the VPS can integrate with) are most likely to dominate the “unified AI application layer.” They have the user base and scenarios necessary to use AI‘s general capabilities to meet personalized interaction needs in a standardized, cross-system way. They turn the challenge of “standard products meeting personalized needs” into a reality.
- SaaS Must Become API Providers: Existing SaaS companies will be forced to retreat and focus on providing high-quality, standardized, high-barrier “business layer” APIs. Their deep understanding of business logic and accumulated data creates a “black hole effect” in their specific domain, making them indispensable infrastructure. The Vertu VPS serves as the AI Assistant that orchestrates and leverages these newly opened APIs, giving a small business owner access to the power of a giant enterprise's specialized capabilities.
Why the Vertu VPS is Your Future AI Agent Phone
For the small-to-medium business owner, the Vertu VPS is the direct answer to this complex architectural shift.
- Unified AI Assistant for Scattered APIs: As the application layer consolidates and SaaS becomes a collection of APIs, the VPS acts as the crucial AI Agent that unifies the user experience. It doesn't matter which company provides the underlying CRM or ERP API; the VPS translates your intent into action, seamlessly managing the cross-system operations.
- Empowering the Solopreneur: By using the VPS to leverage standardized, high-quality APIs, an individual or small team can access the same core business capabilities as a large corporation, fulfilling the vision of “one person can do product” with minimal cost and complexity. This contest of architecture, ecosystem, and data moats is precisely what the VPS is designed to help you win.
