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

Fiverr is the one that went down that badly. Yeah, Fiverr went down from 320 USD to now 25. So it's down 10 times. Upwork's doing okay because Upwork is probably also more up. Like they're doing more harder tasks and Fiverr is like literally made for the $5 tasks, right? Yeah, so they are in problem.

Dude, but this is the thing. This is like the thing that I try to focus on now. And this is probably a bridge to the next idea. I'm not sure if I put it on there, but you got to like, you got to humanize AI in that sense. And what I think everything is now tech-based, right?

but that's nice for the 1% that understands tech, but you need to like make it, if you want to get products to be adopted, you need to make it feel like the real world, right? Basically how iPhone started with their interface, notes didn't look like notes. You need to make it feel right. So these people, they're not going to use ChatGPT to do the job, even if it's easier.

You need to like, they want to use it how they've been using it, but then on a different way. For example, like Hedgehog Pro, we really, we don't focus on the AI part. We basically just, what we do different is before you had to go to a physical photo shoot, right? So you had to schedule a photo shoot, you had to drive there, you had to get your clothing, you have to pay $300.

Basically what we do now is you just do it from your house. You take 15 selfies and the AI is literally the photographer that makes it for you. And two hours later, you get the photo. It's kind of the same process. And we make it feel the same way, but there's no real human in the loop, but basically 50 photographers in the cloud that are making the photos for it.

So it feels like you need to make that transition. You need to make it feel human, how you experienced it. So I think like these kinds of ideas, stop doing it as an API, do it more as like a job marketplace. Cause it feels real. It feels how people expect to interact with something they've been interacting with.

I was listening to PodTask the other day, and they... For example, company doctors apparently have scribes that are taking notes and how it used to work. I don't know which podcast this was on, but it was a really good episode. Probably, I think it was My First Million. They mentioned it on there. So basically they said this doctor had a scribe. So before they would be in person.

Now they hired someone that was listening in from an iPad. Someone was literally asking, hey, who's that on the iPad? And they were like, oh, that's my scribe. He's listening and he's taking notes of this recording. The next step is you need to find ideas that you could literally... automate with AI, right?

So this person, like it's going to be taught, like people don't like to hear it, but this person is going to be automated by AI because you have open AI whisper. It can literally transcribe what you're saying. You use another LLM to summarize it and you're done. So this person, their job is going to be gone in five years.

so this is like a job you could automate like you could target doctor practices the scribes literally market it as that servers but then instead of doing the services before you you replace it with ai but you still sell it as that way so you say um yeah how would you market it you are you how would you brand it like you would just use the same kind of content you don't even need to mention ai anywhere but you just make it 10 times cheaper so i met a doctor recently

Yeah, Toronto, California is one of them.

Wow, there's nothing else ranking for this search term. It's just Toronto.

And the thing is, even if he's tired and he didn't hear what they said, critical information, there's this AI that just found out what people actually said. And it's going to summarize for him afterwards. It's going to help so many people, man.

There's like one competitor. There's like one, there's one company that does this. There's no competition. Like just finding like little niches where this works, where you can just replace what's normally be done by a human and like get it done by AI to make, enable more people to use it. Cause now every doctor can have it instead of only the rich doctors in rich countries, for example.

And this is the nice thing. You fairly have no competition. Because if you're going to make a Node app, every programmer can make a Node app. But no one is going to make... an AI app for a doctor or whatever. There's no competition in it because it's boring. They don't know anything about it.

So if you spend your time doing it, you're going to have the whole market if you know how to scale and how to do marketing.

I don't know if nurses use scribe, but yeah, but even like maybe for like a dentist or not even a doctor, maybe for a completely different, different subject. Yeah. I know a friend of mine, for example, he was doing all these AI note taking apps became popular. Right. So he started doing it for veteran veterinarians, veterinarians. Yeah.

There was no competition, but all these feds would love to have their notes taken and have it in their app. But because you target it specifically for that niche, they would rather use that than a more broadly consumer-based app.

There's so many opportunities, man. But you've got to be fast. Like I said in the beginning of the podcast, this is going to be gone in the next two to five years. SaaS has already eaten the world. Everything is done, basically. This is going to be saturated in five to ten years, too.

I think I got the whole docs, the whole document done already. Right. If I say anything else. Yeah. Um, yeah, I would do this. So I, my, my first startup, I sold it to Jasper, um, which was a AI copywriting generator. I still think you can do this for, uh, you can just make a marketing agency and have it run completely on AI without people knowing it. So for example,
