🧠 I built a list of 180+ AI ideas. Steal one.

Everyone is talking about AI. But almost no one knows what to actually build.

It feels like we're standing at the edge of a gold rush, but all we have is a plastic shovel.

Let me tell you a truth. I listen to a ton of podcasts—My First Million, All-In, you name it. They drop brilliant business ideas like breadcrumbs. The problem? Those breadcrumbs are scattered across hundreds of hours of audio.

So I got tired of waiting for someone else to connect the dots. I started collecting, filtering, and refining these ideas into a list I could actually use.

💡 The "Boring" Ideas are the Best Ideas

The best AI businesses aren't sexy. They're:

Solving annoying $50/month problems

For specific groups of people

Who are already spending money on worse solutions

Think about it: A dental office already pays $200/month for appointment scheduling software. An AI tool that does it better for $150/month? That's an easy sell.

⚙️ A Few Ideas You Can Start Building Tomorrow

I've organized them by who they help and what problem they solve.

For B2B & Enterprise:

• Idea: AI RFP Generator

  • Problem: Writing "Request for Proposal" documents is slow and tedious for sales teams. Sales teams hate writing proposals. Enterprise software in this space typically charges $200-500/month.

  • AI Magic: Generative AI creates a detailed RFP from a simple project description.

• Idea: Predictive Churn AI

  • Problem: It's hard to know which customers are about to cancel their subscription.

  • AI Magic: Analyzes user data and support tickets to flag at-risk accounts before they leave.

For Creators & Marketers:

• Idea: AI YouTube Script Punch-Up

  • Problem: Great on-camera presence doesn't always mean great writing skills. YouTubers spend hours perfecting hooks. Video editing tools charge $30-100/month.

  • AI Magic: Analyzes a script and suggests better hooks and clearer language to boost watch time.

• Idea: AI-Generated B-Roll

  • Problem: Finding good, non-cheesy stock video is a nightmare. Stock footage subscriptions cost $50-200/month. Custom generation could command premium pricing.

  • AI Magic: Generates unique video clips based on the text of your script.

For Niche & "Sweaty" Startups:

• Idea: AI Quote Generator for Trades

  • Problem: Plumbers and electricians spend too much time quoting jobs and not enough time doing them. Contractors lose hours each week on estimates. Industry-specific software typically charges $50-150/month.

  • AI Magic: Take a few photos of a job site, and the AI generates an itemized quote.

✅ My Personal Workflow for Finding Gold

A list is useless if you don't act on it. Here’s how I use this to avoid getting stuck in "idea paralysis":

1. Look for Pain, Not Tech. I ignore the AI feature at first and focus on the "Problem It Solves" column. Is it a real, burning pain?

2. Pick One. Just One. I find the single idea that makes me think, "I can't believe this doesn't exist already."

3. Find One Person. My only goal is to find one person from the "Target Audience" and ask them: "If I built this, would you use it?" Their answer tells me everything.

🚀 The Real Opportunity (That Most People Miss)

We're in the execution phase now. The barrier to entry has never been lower, but the window won't stay open forever.

The pattern I see:

A niche problem exists (dental appointment automation)

Current solutions are clunky and expensive

AI can solve it better, faster, cheaper

First mover advantage is huge in specific niches

Early movers are already building. Late adopters will face established competition.

⏰ The Truth About Timing

Good news: You're not too late to the AI gold rush. Reality check: You're not early anymore either.

The companies launching in 2025 will likely dominate their niches for years. The ones waiting until 2026 will face steeper competition.

Which group do you want to be in?
