The Future of SaaS Is Apps That Agents Can Use

Lovable's proposed role for business apps includes giving agents direct access to selected functions. In its CTO interview, the app-building company describes publishing those functions as tools through a hosted Model Context Protocol server, an interface compatible AI clients can call. The same application retains its human-facing interface.

That lets a useful operation be reused inside an assistant's workflow without requiring a person to open the app. The interview gives an internal example: support functions for granting user credits became available through the company's agent. The broader ambition is to connect many such capabilities through one work interface, while the underlying applications continue providing specialized functions.
