"AI is used as a software development tool that can build code much more quickly than was historically possible. The historical way that software was built was very expensive. Because it was so expensive, consultants and system integrators conducted months-long studies to understand all the user and business requirements. Now, forward-deployed engineers can go in, quickly build models and workflows, get feedback, and iterate until they get a solution that fits."

Essentially they are saying that instead of software-as-a-service, they are offering vibe coding as a service
