Top SaaS Vendors on Ramp (April 2026)

I was at a dinner recently (topic: AI, tech policy) where a marketing executive shared a story about an AI experiment his team is running. In the spirit of going all-in on AI, someone set up a Slack channel with two AI agents — each programmed to hold the opposite view on the company’s marketing strategy — and let them argue it out. The theory was that adversarial debate might produce a breakthrough insight. He said the results were funny to read, but ultimately not useful or actionable. When he asked the agents how much the conversation cost, the answer came back: about $200.

This experiment made me think of Hieronymus Bosch painting: The Garden of Earthly Delights, the 16th-century triptych depicting hundreds of nude figures frolicking through a surreal landscape of giant fruit, fantastical creatures, and unrestrained indulgence. Some people think Bosch was criticizing the human capacity to sin in a statement aligned with Church doctrine (I think he ended up making sin look fun, maybe on purpose?). In any case, this is what it looks like when companies let their AI experiments run wild.

I think this is one of the traps firms can fall into when they run headfirst into AI experimentation: are you actually producing something productive, or are you just spending a bunch of money so that your AI agents can live their best lives? These expenses can spiral out of control with no value produced, and the promise of AI is to allow humans to inch closer to the Garden of Earthly Delights — not the AI agents!

Of course, not all AI investments are unproductive. Oftentimes they are very productive. Many of the software companies on our trending software vendor list earned their spot specifically because companies are doubling down on them or making long-term investments.

This is an underrated element of the “SaaSpocalypse” discourse: software companies that are able to implement into a company’s complex enterprise tech stack and drive clear gains have an advantage the model companies don’t. Their costs are going to be more predictable, their use cases are going to be more applicable to existing processes, and you get to avoid the Garden of Earthly Delights.
