Software patents are dead! Pack it up! Hit the Gym! Retirement!

Wall Street just doesn't know it yet, but maybe tomorrow's sell-off?.

Every AI model on Earth can now read, analyze, and design around any precious patent portfolio in seconds.

Billions in software IP value? About to go to zero!

The only reason Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google haven't shipped a "Patent Killer Skill" is that they're terrified of the lawsuit avalanche.

But someone will. And when they do, the $50B patent licensing industry collapses overnight.

We're not ready for this conversation. Agree? Disagree? Fight me in the comments.

I am looking for interesting, complex, and innovative open-sourced AI skills, not just "debug GitHub issues" or "web design guidelines". Any resources?

What makes Seren different:

We're trying to build an AI IDE for non-devs, but that great devs will appreciate.

Open marketplace – 90+ publishers for databases (SerenDB, MongoDB), web scraping (Firecrawl), AI search (Perplexity), email (Google), calendars, CRM, even eSignatures Micropayments that work – x402 USDC on Base network.

No subscription tiers, no credits expiring. Pay per API call.

Databases: Query SerenDB (serverless Postgres), MongoDB, Neon with natural language. Web tools: Scrape websites with Firecrawl, AI-powered search with Perplexity Integrations: Email, calendar, CRM actions. Coming soon: GitHub, Linear, Notion Compute: Run code sandboxes, agent templates, custom workflows Each publisher sets their own pricing. You pay per API call with USDC on Base (x402 standard). No subscriptions, no expiring credits.

What's inside Semantic Indexing Monaco editor with Cmd+K inline AI editing Agent Client Protocol for running Claude Code and compatible agents Model Context Protocol for local MCP servers Multi-model support with free tier (Gemini 2.0 Flash)

The Tech stack Frontend: SolidJS + TypeScript + Vite Backend: Rust + Tauri 2.0 Vector store: sqlite-vec (all local, no cloud) MIT licensed, ~10MB binary Architecture The client is fully open source. It connects to Seren Gateway for:

AI model routing & authentication SerenEmbed API (embedding generation) Publisher marketplace Think VS Code (open source) + Extension Marketplace (proprietary).

Because as you vibecode, your devops load and complexity increases even with your fastest AI agents. Welcome to late nights and failing runs!

In a world where your 100x devs can create the same features of your competitors 100x devs. How do companies differentiate their software offerings except with price?

Curious whether AI tooling are making engineers more productive with more free time or more productive with even less free time.

What are folks really looking for these days in their hosted SaaS PostgreSQL databases that serve their AI agents? We're working on this problem and curious to hear what devs are thinking.
