McKinsey: Most software companies are building with AI — but winners are being rebuilt around it.

  • McKinsey says gen AI and agentic AI are not incremental add-ons — they’re a new software era that will redefine products, business models, and operations.

  • Leaders are shifting from seat-based licensing to outcome- and consumption-based pricing that aligns revenue with value delivered.

  • Truly AI-centric firms embed AI across the full value chain — from R&D through sales, support, and automation — driving massive productivity gains.

  • Incumbents that only “experiment at the edges” risk being leapfrogged by AI-native rivals with faster scale and tighter data-driven differentiation.

TL;DR: The software world is entering a post-SaaS age where intelligence is the core product — act now or get left behind as AI defines winners and losers.


McKinsey: What if the next $4T in AI value isn’t about tools … but the way companies deploy them?
