What if my app needs custom features?

One of the common worries about AI-assisted development is hitting walls when you need something unique. Here's the reality:

Most 'custom' features aren't that custom: What feels unique about your app is usually a combination of common features arranged in a specific way. User authentication + data visualization + notification system = seemingly custom product.

AI is better at custom features than you might expect: Modern AI tools can generate surprisingly specific functionality when prompted well. 'Create a booking system where users can only book during business hours, with a 2-hour minimum and 24-hour cancellation policy' is specific but AI handles it.

The hybrid approach is increasingly common: AI for 80-90% of the app, human expertise for the genuinely novel or complex 10-20%. This is cost-effective and practical.

True bleeding-edge technical innovation (new AI models, novel algorithms) still requires traditional development expertise. But most SaaS products don't need that level of novelty.
