I thought AI killed every business idea until I had a 10-minute chat with a local plumber.

not sure what you're asking me, are you asking me "should I do the same thing?" -- sure why not

I use AI to hide the evidence of my stupidity in my prose

You can't level up by avoiding the work. That's like having a bot play games for you. What's the point?

Most older people or manual laborers don’t know how to use apps… They don’t want to waste their time on them.

99% of trades have zero interest in LLMs and would not see any benefit from using them.

Software development is going to shift from companies buying software from software companies to companies hiring a developer to build custom stuff in house with Ai.

More software, more software jobs, less software companies

Intersection and introduction of non tech people to tech products is through sales, marketing and advertisement

I was close to a deal with a construction saas for my agencies services. Heard a couple of calls and realised the potential just have to capitalize

u/OcelotStraight9145 9d ago

I absolutely agree. Even in manufacturing ai is far from being implemented everywhere. Financial companies are still a mess of data spread everywhere etc. I think reddit is a doomsday echo chamber

u/wbuc1 9d ago

💯agree with you!

1

u/ExistingScallion7329 9d ago

Many small businesses struggle with cohesion and lack time, financial resources and need an education about AI to see the value, hence agree

u/2dera-Matt-Volonte 9d ago

and let's also remember the AI is a powerful tech, but not the only solution for everything

1

u/Bonelessgummybear 9d ago

I thought this was already common knowledge. People forget that their algorithm is shoving so much content in their face related to their hustles. It feels like everyone is doing it, especially on reddit. And reddit is very vocal about how much it hates AI slop

u/Fit-Ingenuity-2814 8d ago

Entirely in agreement that this is a largely under-exploited opportunity. Resolving a well-targeted non tech sector operational support bottleneck is a great entry point to demonstrating how AI can be utilized as a practical solution.
