I've Interviewed 485+ SaaS Founders. Here's the AI Mistake I See Coming: Burying Your Best UX Inside a Chat Box. Here's the Pitch I Keep Hearing... Expose Your Product to Claude and ChatGPT… | Omer Khan
I've interviewed 485+ SaaS founders. Here's the AI mistake I see coming: Burying your best UX inside a chat box. Here's the pitch I keep hearing... Expose your product to Claude and ChatGPT, let people just ask for what they want, and let the chat window become your new interface. Nobody needs to open your app anymore. That's the part where founders will get burned. Jason Fried made this point recently... Say a product can generate a full dashboard right inside the chat. Impressive. But do your customers actually want to type out a request every single time they want to see that dashboard? Or do they just want to click once and have it sitting there, the way it always was? Chat is great when you don't know where something lives, or when the request is vague and hard to click your way to. It's terrible when you already know exactly what you want and now you have to describe it in a sentence instead of clicking a button. Making people write a prompt for something they used to get instantly isn't progress. It's just a slower version of what they already had. So build the MCP for the messy, open-ended stuff chat is actually good at. But don't tear out the dashboards, buttons, and screens people already know how to use. The best products are going to run both.
