AI Generated Apps vs SaaS: Which Moats Still Work in 2026
From the video description
AI generated apps are reshaping SaaS, but not all SaaS moats are dead. Here's which defensible moats still work, and which ones AI just demolished. In this talk from MicroConf US 2026: Portland, DNSimple founder Anthony Eden breaks down what the rise of generative AI and one-user vibe-coded apps actually means for SaaS founders. Drawing on 16 years of building DNSimple against competitors ranging from Google, Microsoft, and Amazon down to scrappy new entrants, Anthony separates the SaaS moats that are evaporating from the ones that still defend a business in 2026 and beyond.
