SoaS in practice: Peregrine Code
SoaS says the expert no longer just rents someone else's software — they build their own, and it amplifies their service. Peregrine Code is the proof.
A marketer with no engineering background spent a year building their own AI code editor. Not as a side project — as the software half of their own service.
Peregrine is visual-first. An idea is drawn as screens and flows before a line of code exists. You critique the picture in plain words, and the approved picture becomes a living specification.
That specification is what stops an AI agent from breaking the project at 70% done: the agent builds against an artifact a human already approved, not against a prompt it half-understood.
This is SoaS in a single object — the service and the software built underneath it as one whole.
How it works
-
Visual-first
The application is designed as screens and flows before it is written.
-
Critique the picture
Feedback happens on something you can see, in plain language — not on prompt wording.
-
The picture is the spec
An approved design becomes the living specification the AI agent has to build against.
