SaaStr frames the AI-CRM market as splitting on architecture, not features. Lightfield and peers (Attio, Monaco, Reevo) pursue full rip-and-replace of Salesforce/HubSpot with self-updating, memory-native systems, while Aurasell layers an AI-native go-to-market OS on top of existing CRMs with no replacement required. The reframed buyer question is "follow the agents": pick the platform where your agents do the most work. Agent capability, not UI or integrations, becomes the selection criterion.
