Assessing SaaS / services search - has AI changed anything for you?

Hey all, long time lurker first time poster. After a few years working at a SaaS company, I'm warming up my networking muscles to reevaluate if now is the right time for ETA for me (and now the family also).

Given my experience, I'd love to work on SaaS but I also know the limitations if you get it wrong (low barriers to entry / high competition, expensive multiples, etc).

My question is, especially in the age of gen AI, has SaaS search gotten (drastically) tougher? What about searches for tech-enabled services in general? How are SaaS searchers / acquirers thinking about navigating the landscape with a new innovation dropping daily? Thanks in advance for any insight.
