In today's digital economy, businesses are constantly searching for ways to scale their operations, create new revenue streams, and deliver value more efficiently. We've moved from manual labor to software-driven solutions, but a gap has always remained: how do you package a complex, human-driven business process and sell it as easily as software?
The answer lies in a transformative new model: Services as Software. This paradigm shift allows you to take any repeatable business process—from lead qualification to financial analysis—and turn it into a programmable, on-demand API.
Welcome to the future of business delivery. Welcome to Your Business, As a Service.
At its core, "Services as Software" (or "Business as Code") is the concept of encapsulating an entire business operation into a single, callable service. Instead of selling a subscription to a user interface (SaaS), you're selling the direct outcome of the process via an API.
Think about it:
This is made possible by platforms like service.do, which use agentic AI workflows. These aren't just simple automations; they are intelligent agents that can reason, use tools, and execute multi-step tasks to deliver a complete result, just like a human expert would.
The magic of this model is its simplicity. You don't need a massive engineering team to turn your business process into an API. The service.do platform streamlines this transformation into a few manageable steps.
Instead of writing complex code, you define your service using a simple configuration file. This file outlines the steps, the tools required, and the AI agents that will perform the work. If you can write down the steps of your process, you can automate it.
Once your workflow is defined, you deploy it to the service.do platform. In an instant, your business process is live. The platform handles the underlying infrastructure, security, and scalability, turning your operational logic into a robust, enterprise-ready API endpoint.
With your service deployed, it's immediately available to be integrated into any application. The platform provides a simple SDK, allowing developers to call your entire business process in just a few lines of code.
Here’s how easy it is to use a data-enrichment service built on the platform:
import { createDo } from '@do-sdk/core';
// Initialize the .do client with your API key
const doClient = createDo({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });
// Get a handle to the service you want to use
const dataEnrichment = doClient.get('data-enrichment.service.do');
// Invoke the service to enrich a company's data
async function enrichCompanyData(domain: string) {
try {
const result = await dataEnrichment.run({
companyDomain: domain,
fields: ['logo', 'description', 'employeeCount']
});
console.log('Enriched Data:', result);
return result;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Service execution failed:', error);
}
}
// Run the service for a specific company
enrichCompanyData('example.com');
What was once a manual task requiring hours of research is now a single, asynchronous function call that returns structured data. This is the power of Service Automation.
Turning your operations into API Services fundamentally changes how you deliver and monetize value.
Q: What is a 'Service' in the context of .do?
A: A Service on the service.do platform is a complete business process encapsulated as a programmable API. It takes inputs, performs a series of automated tasks using AI agents, and returns a structured output, effectively turning your operations into software.
Q: What kind of business processes can be turned into a service?
A: Virtually any repeatable business process can become a service. Common examples include customer onboarding, data enrichment, lead qualification, content generation, financial report analysis, and compliance checks. If you can define the steps, you can automate it with service.do.
Q: Can I chain multiple services together?
A: Absolutely. The service.do platform is designed for composition. The output of one service can be used as the input for another, allowing you to build complex, end-to-end workflows by chaining together modular, single-purpose services.
Q: How does pricing work for using a service?
A: Pricing is typically based on usage, such as the number of API calls or the computational resources consumed by the agentic workflow. Each service has its own pricing model defined by its creator, ensuring you only pay for the value you receive.
The "Business as a Service" model represents the next logical step in the evolution of digital business. It abstracts away the complexity of operations and delivers pure, unadulterated value through a simple, scalable API. It democratizes the ability to build and deploy powerful automations, allowing businesses of all sizes to monetize their unique expertise.
