I've been using Claude Code a lot lately, and I've been thinking of integrating it into our SaaS tool (a formula-driven app designer). I've been holding off primarily because I've been afraid of the cost (we're not making much money off our $9/mo. customers as it is, and this definitely wouldn't help that).

However, it's becoming clear to me that individual apps and websites won't have their own integrated chatbots for long. They'll be siloed, meaning that they can't talk to one another -- and they sure can't access my file system. So we'll have a chatbot first as part of the web browser, and ultimately as part of the operating system, able to access all your stuff and knowing everything about you. (Scary!)

So the future is to make your software scriptable -- not necessarily for human-written scripts, but for LLM integration (using MCP?). Maybe OLE from the nineties was prescient?

Short-term, though, integrating an LLM would probably be good for business, but given that I'm our only engineer and the fact that our bespoke chatbot would likely become obsolete within two years, I don't think it would be worth the investment.

Your read is correct.

2-3 chatbots (prolly OAI, Gemini, Claude) will own the whole context, everywehre

If your strategy is to be a data source for an llm sure. But if you inspire to bring your own unique AI despite its flaws then that is another matter thing altogether and I don’t think it is completely worthless endeavour. Remember how OpenAI killed gpt4o and it turned out it was actually beloved by many although newer versions allegedly perform better?
