If anyone can clone most SaaS products in a week, then I already am pretty impressed. But assuming it's true, I would also assume that "anyone" is somewhat exclusive to people who already understand or have the ability to understand how existing SaaS products work. So that just means every company should have a team of people creating whatever SaaS products they need that week. Except that would create so much unreasonable amount of codes to support that the point would be that coding would simply be a race to build edge case scenarios to account for everything. which is also a huge issue. and so i think that the true skill to have that will offer competitive advantage is people management. alternatively some domain knowledge. since domain knowledge will give you the standpoint to decide what you should be doing. but i think a lot of this is kind of overblown. like you aren't really going to want an AI generated on the fly payments system like Stripe or an HR system like tripletex. You are going to want one that simply works and solves your problem and not something your team hacked together in a week with AI.

Yea, it's not true. Currently I'm seeing this business style type of co-founder that I met through a mutual connection. He can do things I couldn't, but cloning a SaaS under a week? It's not one of them.
He created an interactive prototype with lovable.dev and while it fleshes out his idea to me, he clearly isn't strong in UX-design either. Nor does he need to be.
