There are two forms of business software gen AI coding is 100% going to eat:

   1. Simple CRUD apps
   2. Long-tail / low-TAM apps

Because neither of these make economic sense for commercial companies to develop targeted products for.

Consequently, you got "bundled" generalized apps that sort of did what you wanted (GP's example) or fly-by-night one-off solutions that haven't been updated in decades.

The more interesting questions are (a) who is going to develop these new solutions and (b) who is going to maintain these new solutions? In-house dev/SRE or newly more-efficient (even cheaper) outsourced? I'd bet on in-housing, as requirements discovery / business problem debugging is going to quickly dominate delivery/update time. It already did and that was before we boosted simple app productivity.
