Replace Your SaaS Stack with AI
💥 Founder Guest Pass available — invite your guests here
How many tools are you paying for every month that you only use for one or two features?
In this hands-on session, Philip Mudhir will show you how AI-powered development tools are changing the build-vs-buy equation — and how founders can start creating their own lightweight software instead of adding another subscription to the stack.
The goal is simple: identify software you're currently paying for and explore whether you can build exactly what your business needs instead.
Philip will walk through how to spot the best opportunities, scope a useful internal tool, build it with AI, and turn simple ideas into working software without needing to be a developer.
⚡ What You'll Learn
💸 Audit your software stack — Identify subscriptions you're paying for that could potentially be replaced
🔍 Know what to build vs. buy — Understand when building your own tool makes sense and when it doesn't
🛠️ Build without being a developer — Use AI to turn plain-English requirements into working software
🎯 Build only what you need — Avoid bloated platforms and create tools around your actual workflows
🔗 Connect your existing systems — Build lightweight tools that work alongside the platforms you already use
🔄 Keep improving as you grow — Adapt your own software as your business and processes change
🎯 Live Outcome
This isn't about becoming a software engineer.
You'll identify one piece of software or workflow your business currently relies on and explore how you could replace or simplify it with something built specifically for you.
By the end of the session, you'll understand how to start shifting from renting generic software to owning tools built around the way your business actually works.
