The submitted material does not contain podcast episode content. Instead, it appears to be website HTML/markup from Auphonic, a podcast production and audio processing platform. The text includes navigation menus, feature lists, login forms, and footer information about Auphonic's services (noise reduction, speech-to-text, loudness normalization, and API workflows), but no discussion, interview, or editorial content related to AI agents, SaaS models, or the stated episode topic. To provide accurate metadata, the actual episode transcript would be required.

Episode notes

AI agents can build software overnight - so is this the “SaaS-pocalypse,” or the start of a new industrial AI cycle? Stephan Wirries , General Partner at Ventech, argues seat-based pricing and net revenue retention are under structural threat as teams shrink from eight developers to one, and value migrates from code to data, infrastructure, and domain expertise. Full article, links, and transcript: Read the full episode notes on Startuprad.io Why this episode matters: If software development is becoming nearly free, the old SaaS playbook breaks - and Europe’s industrial Mittelstand gets a rare window to leapfrog. This is a sharp, investor’s-eye read on where value actually accrues next.
