Want to make money with AI? Try this.
Almost everyone I see building on OpenAI's APIs are building tools that solve their own problems.
Makes sense! Thing is, a lot of these people are similar; they're all builders. Similar people = similar problems.
Want to make some serious $ building something quick with AI? Try solving problems for users that are outside of the Indiehacker community.
There are a lot of problems out there that need solving!
I go deeper on AI businesses and how to make $ with them in my latest newsletter article, which you can read below (posted this article earlier this week so you may have already read it) 👇

It doesn't guarantee making money. There should be a 3rd circle "people that are willing to pay for a solution".
Nothing guarantees making money. I'm simply suggesting that there is a portion of the market that is being underserved.
Thanks for sharing! Customer research is definitely important. For my own AI tool Evoke, the main target market has been people building the AI tools themselves and don't want to manage cloud hosting.
Nice, I've seen evoke around! looks like you had a great product hunt launch too :)
Thanks! Spent months preparing that one lol
Thanks... the only problem going to be the API pricing model once the traffic grows.
You should be baking that into your pricing structure though so it shouldn't be an issue
I've read this before. It's the same article. Is this a repost?
Yes, reposting the article. I spent some time today thinking through what other problems would be fun to solve with AI and came up with this venn diagram framework, which I wanted to share. Figure it didn't hurt to throw the article link at the bottom too :)
