THE NEW SOFTWARE: CLI, SKILLS & VERTICAL MODELS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Enterprises now see agents outnumber humans up to 100:1, forcing SaaS companies to rebuild products around APIs, CLIs, and structured outputs instead of GUIs. Leading teams encode domain expertise into “skill files” and expose full functionality via MCP servers and CLI tools so agents can operate products programmatically. Companies combine workflow orchestration with selective vertical models and multi-model routing to cut costs by up to 80% while improving latency and task performance.
