Growth from AI

⁣In B2B SaaS, we're all familiar with the idea of leveraging AI to drive growth through increased efficiency and productivity. However, in a recent interview when I asked Shailesh Manjrekar, CMO of CloudFabrix how AI will impact growth, he discussed a different aspect of AI that will enable growth: the power of democratization through AI.

Democratization, in essence, is about utilizing AI to make sophisticated software accessible to non-technical users. This concept opens up a world of opportunities for SaaS companies to expand their market reach. By breaking down the barriers of technical expertise, AI enables a wider audience to leverage software solutions that were once deemed too complex. Shailesh draws upon his industry, IT Ops, where AI has enabled non-technicians to conduct analyses that were once the exclusive domain of practitioners expanding the potential audience of users. This type of democratization extends beyond IT Ops, offering a blueprint for other areas within SaaS.

Consider website development. Traditional tools, despite offering drag-and-drop functionalities, still require a degree of technical know-how, limiting their use to a more tech-savvy audience. Enter AI, with its ability to allow users to create websites through simple voice prompts. This innovation drastically broadens the potential user base, making web development accessible to many more people, regardless of their technical background.

The implications of democratization extend beyond website building to any software that demands specific skills. This approach not only enhances user experience but also opens up new audiences for SaaS businesses which will help drive growth.

As we think about the future of SaaS, we can leverage AI not just to enhance efficiency but to democratize access to technology. The goal? To allow a wider audience to use our solutions, thereby driving unprecedented growth.
