What’s moving now
Market moves, AI breakdowns, founder notes, tool discoveries, and strategic warnings — posted as they happen.
AI Underwriting
Real-time underwriting will reprice consumer credit by 2030
Static credit files are giving way to live, cash-flow-based risk models. The lenders who see the borrower as they are today will out-price everyone.
Field Service
Field service software is becoming a dispatch-and-do-it agent
Scheduling was the wedge. The money is in the agent that quotes, dispatches, and follows up on its own.
Vertical AI
Vertical AI agents are quietly eating seat-based SaaS
The buyer no longer wants a tool 12 people log into. They want a worker that does the job and reports the result.
AI Lending
The SMB loan becomes an instant, embedded decision
Small-business credit is moving out of the bank branch and into the software SMBs already run — approved before they finish asking.
Restaurant Tech
Restaurant tech is consolidating around the all-in-one terminal
POS, payroll, inventory, and loyalty are collapsing into one device — and the standalone apps are losing the counter.
Vertical AI
Every category leader now ships an agent, not a dashboard
Dashboards described the problem. Buyers in 2026 are paying for the thing that closes it.
