Zeta Global, ServiceNow, Datadog and CrowdStrike look increasingly attractive among software names as AI disrupts applications: businesses with proprietary data that build on AI and deliver intelligence and measurable outcomes could win. Cybersecurity valuations remain a concern. x.com 

UiPath will be among the AI winners because AI agents cannot replace everything. Companies still need deterministic automation that is reliable, controllable and free of constant token consumption, and UiPath connects that world with agentic AI. After Q2 FY27 the case is more convincing than ever. x.com 

UiPath and integration-software vendors are on the wrong side of GPT-6 Astra's computer-use ability. OpenAI's Greg Brockman argues models that operate software like a person will bypass the APIs, plugins and RPA glue companies pay for. Astra scored 72.6% on OSWorld. If that holds in production, integration budgets shift from middleware to agent sellers. UiPath won't go straight to zero, being embedded in controls, audit logs and multi-year contracts; eight quarters of renewals decide it. x.com  … Show more

The biggest winners of the next decade probably won't be the companies building AI but those quietly using it to take market share, such as ServiceNow, SoFi, Uber, Zeta Global and Amazon. AI is not the business; it is the competitive advantage. x.com 

Software looks like a group that can lead the market higher, with many names from Palantir and ServiceNow to Zeta and MongoDB moving from late Stage 4 or Stage 1 into early Stage 2 uptrends. Sentiment is at an all-time low on fears that AI agents and chatbots will replace SaaS. AI will disrupt some areas, but many software businesses are using it to grow revenue, ship faster and expand operating leverage, and will thrive. The charts will separate survivors from the dead. x.com  x.com 

Holding ServiceNow into earnings looks unwise after OpenAI released an agentic automation tool meant to replace UiPath and ServiceNow, sending UiPath down 13%. x.com 

SaaS is alive: AI is not replacing entrenched enterprise platforms such as Palantir, Microsoft, ServiceNow, Shopify, Datadog, Salesforce, Snowflake, AppLovin, MongoDB and Zeta. Switching costs and risks are too high, and no credible CTO will swap ServiceNow for a stitched-together AI replacement. Using AI themselves should expand margins by cutting headcount bloat and lifting revenue through AI features. ServiceNow has 600+ customers with ACV over $5M, up 22%, and rose 23% in a week. x.com 

AI will not replace Fortune 500 CRM platforms, as the moat of Salesforce, ServiceNow and HubSpot goes beyond the software. It lies in the data model, integrations, workflows and customer records; agents may even raise the value of a trusted system of record. Thin workflow tools are vulnerable and seat pricing faces pressure. Platforms that make AI a native operating layer to expand usage and monetization should be pretty good investments; they look near the end of a multi-year correction. x.com 

UiPath may carry the highest business-model risk of any SaaS company because LLM agents with computer use compete directly with its robotic process automation. Rivals include Anthropic and OpenAI themselves. Its base is sticky for now, with 97% gross retention, regulated large-enterprise customers and long contracts, giving it time to sell AI tools. Still, it would be very surprising if gross retention stays in the high 90s, and the 2x EV/ARR multiple reflects the threat. x.com 

UiPath offers good risk/reward because its investor day confirmed the narrative of rising AI demand, higher retention and growing opportunity, even without the acceleration the market wanted. That lack of acceleration was already known after earnings. The stock's continued weakness reflects healthy market mechanics rather than a broken thesis, and the aim is to buy the best risk/reward, not the best stocks. x.com
