While AI tools excel at generating initial drafts of code or designs, their editing capabilities are poor. The difficulty of making specific changes often forces creators to discard the AI output and start over, as editing is where the "magic" breaks down.
The ease of AI development tools tempts founders to build products immediately. A more effective approach is to first use AI for deep market research and GTM strategy validation. This prevents wasting time building a product that nobody wants.
Unattractive or morbid business ideas, such as cemetery management software, often face less competition. This lack of saturation means entrepreneurs willing to enter these "grim" niches have a higher probability of financial success and market capture.
Traditional websites are static information libraries. As users increasingly conduct their research within AI platforms like ChatGPT, the website's role will shift to become an interactive, "agentic seller" designed for fully-researched visitors seeking a final transaction, not initial discovery.
Instead of building a consumer-facing ChatGPT app, launch a service business that builds them for Fortune 500s. Large enterprises have the budget but lack the specialized skills to build on the new platform, creating "infinite demand" for capable development and design firms.
AI agents can systematically analyze online communities to identify recurring user pain points and underserved market segments. This data-driven approach uncovers validated business ideas directly from potential customers' candid conversations, as shown by the "backyard chickens" example.
The path to monetizing viral AI videos is a structured, three-step process. First, use tools like Sora to build a large audience. Second, convert that audience into a dedicated community. Only then should you introduce a product, ensuring you have built trust and demand beforehand.
Instead of guessing at marketing copy, build an AI model of your ideal customer. By feeding it internal data like call transcripts and external data like forum posts, this "digital twin" can review and rewrite your marketing materials using the customer's exact language.
