The Startup Ideas Podcast · 5 $1M+ AI startup ideas from an indie hacker legend · 5 Aug 2024 podcast

I think it's going to be too late in that sense. So yeah. Yeah.

I'm too busy. I can't do that stuff. That's why we got to share the ideas here, man.

How technically is your audience? Before I'm going to go super technical terms here.

all right so how am i gonna translate this to everyone that can understand okay So before, when I started like two years ago, if you want to do anything with machine learning that's deeper, like with AI that's deeper than just calling chat GPT, you had to write Python, right? Python is a language where every AI stuff is built in, PyTorch and whatever. Like you need to write the code.

I think a few months ago, and I found about this two weeks ago, which is I'm pretty late to the party. It's called Comfy UI. And it's basically just a really nice interface that has a drag and drop. You can just drag in notes that you can connect to other notes. And you can basically just build a visual pipeline

you have inputs you do something with the data and you have outputs with it so a lot of like i'm now rebuilding all my python stuff to comfy ui because it's so much easier to work with it's so much better to work with you can just also run it in the cloud now and replicate but what i've seen lately is a lot of youtubers are making actually making tutorials on how to build these workflows

So what if instead of all these YouTube tutorials, there will be a Comfy UI marketplace where people can just basically sell these templates that they built? Because you can export it. You can save it. You can export it. You can rent them out. You can let people use it and basically charge like a fee for it. I think in the next few months, this is going to be huge.

I think a lot of people are going to move to Comfy UI. There's a lot of tools being built now that allow you to really easily work with it. I think this is going to be the next. the next kind of wave in AI right now that we're going to migrate there. And there's a ton of indie hackers, man, that sell boilerplates for programming, for code. I'm pretty sure you can capitalize on this with ComfyUI.

If I wasn't busy, this is the idea I would be working on. We're too fucking busy, so I'm not going to do it. So there must be someone in your audience that can start working on this.

It feels like every smart person I see on Twitter is kind of working on this. The reason I was keeping this one secret and with this warning was walking with a dog and like, I'm not allowed to work on another idea anymore. I need to stop doing it. Cause I've been so busy with all my other stuff. So I'm like thinking, all right, how am I? I want this because we use this stuff.

I would love more templates. How am I going to stop myself but still bring it in the world? I was like, I'm just going to share it on the podcast. It needs to exist. I think someone's going to print absolute money with this.

So this is funny because one and a half year ago, you told me to start doing something with my AI influencer and I started doing it and it turned into Headshot Pro. So maybe we're on an inflection point where Greg tells me, go do this yourself. And like it folds into the next big business. But yeah, I've been thinking about like, I'm too busy.

Should I just partner up with people, use my audience like a lot of people are doing these days? Partner up in that sense. So if someone is listening here, they got some skills and they want to partner up, holler me on Twitter. I think it's going to be in the show notes later.

Do you have experience in this? Have you seen people start doing this successfully with their audience and their brand?

Yeah. Yeah. It's hard, dude, man. You need to, you need to have a whole combination of a person you're going to work with. It's not just like, yeah, they need to be entrepreneurial. So why wouldn't they do it by themselves? Um, how would you partner up with someone, start a company with them? Yeah. It's a big step, man.

you're good but then the thing is like do you want to be completely distracted from what else you're working on and like focus on those parts if you have like a busy business i think in that sense yeah like for me for example i'm still in the running in my company i've got a team right but i'm still like working full-time on it like being able to support another business is that like something you want to work on that's the thing do you want to sacrifice more of your free time after so many years of doing that so that's like i mean flexion point

There's some big companies doing that now. One of years ago, you told me, go start this AI influencer agency, whatever. Man, people are doing big stuff in that space.

Yeah, so I don't think anyone's built anything like this yet, or at least it doesn't feel like it. So basically Fiverr, Upwork, obviously freelance platform, right? You go there, you want to have a job done, you find a freelancer and you work for it. Basically all the time tracking goes via the platform too. So it's, yeah.

With AI, it feels like a lot of these jobs don't exist anymore because most of the things are automated, right? But what I think where they should go, and I don't even know if they're doing this yet or if they can't doing it yet. There's a difference now. If you want to heavily use AI, you need to be a programmer, right? You need to build your own APIs. You cannot just only put it in ChatGPT.

It's going to be so hard. So what I would build is basically a clone of Fiverr or Upwork, but... You don't hire people, you basically hire MLMs, LLMs, AI bots and whatever. Basically workflows that have been built for you that can do the work for you. But it doesn't feel like you're working with AI.
