# Project Ideas 💡 Observed [Problems](http://paulgraham.com/startupideas.html) and Potential Solutions [Product Management Mental Models for Everyone](https://blackboxofpm.com/product-management-mental-models-for-everyone-31e7828cb50b) ## B2C Trends: [AI Education](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-make-a-legit-business-in-education-ep-523/id1254720112?i=1000608300383), male-only x, short-form content ad rev not sustainable, blockchain **automated content filtering on locally stored movie files:** While VidAngel and similar services primarily work with streaming platforms, there may be other tools or software solutions that could arise in the future which allow for automated content filtering on locally stored files. However, a mainstream solution for local files does not exist. One might script an automated process using tools like **FFmpeg** to trim and concatenate video files based on timecodes where undesired content occurs. ### SaaS: 1. Machine learning nutritionist; receives and analyzes blood samples. It is not a diet plan made by human nutritionists like [Online Dietitians & Virtual Nutrition | Teladoc®](https://www.teladoc.com/nutrition/) (which cannot serve those without insurance, so probably expensive). I want to know what I should avoid, given my genetics and what I’m deficient in. Self-guided [www.noom.com](http://www.noom.com) only offers its services to those wishing to lose weight, and underserving weightlifters. 2. Turo but for sports vehicles (boats, RVs, dirtbikes, etc.) 3. Food App Analyzes Grocery Items and Produces Health Rating Based on Profile. Create an allergy profile and analyze grocery items. Also, health rating (processed, fried, or containing vegetable oils, salt, sugar, etc.). Link API of largest grocery retailers to save lives. App to scan bar codes for instant stats or map local restaurants which fit certain dietary restrictions. Integrate with a barcode scanner because the manufacturer should know the items it makes. It might play into Service Idea 5. 4. Automate "Big Ass Data Broker Opt-Out List" to help individuals with privacy. Businesses might also want this for their employees. (see “Privacy” Collection on Edge) 5. App watches form at the gym. Know the depth of the squat, angle of the back, the spread of knees, etc. The tool provides instant analysis and gives queues in real-time—the high-tech gym partner for the everyday man or the wealthy loner who works from home. [https://www.tonal.com/](https://www.tonal.com/) and [https://www.mirror.co/](https://www.mirror.co/) are doing something similar, except cardio for moms or older people. There’s no lifting and, by extension, no form analysis; therefore, they neglect weightlifters entirely. Just use cameras and ML, lol. 3D Model body to give queues to correct workout form. Combine compound lift form analysis w coach chatbot (Jeff nippard) into mobile app for beginner weightlifters. Can also target personal trainers. 6. Personalized ai gift, birthday, event cards 7. Peer-to-peer agriculture sales network 8. Industry knowledge management solution tailored to marketing agencies that integrates data, statistics, resources, and current events into a comprehensive dashboard that they can share with clients for content creation, maintained internally and automatically via API. ### Service: ### Product: 1. Motorcycle visor variable tint but for car windshields. Legal? 2. AI art, customize its frame, and have it shipped to your door. Mid journey API, ProDPI style UI, and what fulfillment model? 3. [WHCC](https://www.whcc.com/products/mini-snapshots/) (owns prodpi) provides private label services 4. Shipping your order to an address other than the address on file for your account is available for $7.50 per order 5. Orders with the basic drop ship will have the $16 minimum order fee waived 6. PROBLEM: their software sucks and no API 7. AI analyze apt lease for bad deals 8. Custom prenatal vitamins from nutrient deficiency test 9. Breast milk conversion to lotion kit 10. # B2B Trends: Classification, regression, clustering, dimensionality reduction. Creator economy Next gen app store on openAI, plugins Not that OpenAi will be the only company to do this, but I think ChatGPT will be so ubiquitous that millions will be made simply in arbitrage (after the model is trained on proprietary data or systems). What kind of encryption is possible with LLMs and embedded models? Embeddings only make sense when read from same model that made it. ## SaaS: 1. [Prezi, but for real estate listing presentations](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NJ70Odqxl4bhpfsZTIp9sPwA1AJkPf8ZcGJcIN3xwew/edit?usp=sharing) 2. I think niching will make this more likely to succeed: ex. Ranch land reports. Many brokerages have 100+ people under them, doing $1B+ in revenue. 3. Digitize and centralize hospital billings, and add transparency. It’s regulated 4. AI as a copilot: analyze [businesses metrics](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-AISSSdwU6qKrEpongOFtoMlWXPtqFbYmhDmgdfOuzk/edit?usp=sharing) with AI 5. Close rates // sales calls, sales tools 6. [Sales Call Analytics: The Comprehensive Guide - Revenue](https://www.revenue.io/blog/sales-call-analytics-the-comprehensive-guide) 7. There is more to the sales process than sales calls (more on the funnel). How quickly are prospects being messaged, etc 8. ARPA (Average Revenue Per Account): AI could identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities or suggest pricing strategies that would maximize revenue without reducing customer satisfaction. [Arena](https://www.arena-ai.com/) 9. Customer acquisition cost (CAC): identify which channels are driving the most valuable customers and which are costing too much. optimize marketing spend and reduce CAC. 10. Churn rate: predict which customers are at risk of churning based on their behavior and preferences. Create targeted retention campaigns to reduce churn and increase revenue. 11. Net promoter score (NPS): analyze customer feedback and sentiment to identify areas of the business that need improvement. By improving customer satisfaction and loyalty, businesses can increase revenue and profitability. [Lexalytics](https://www.lexalytics.com/) 12. Slack responded to every single message from complaining customers when they started. They responded to thousands per day, across all channels. Could this be automated, without losing optics? 13. Cost of goods sold (COGS): optimize the production and delivery process to reduce the cost of goods sold. For example, AI could be used to identify inefficiencies in the supply chain or to optimize production schedules to reduce waste. 14. Land parcel report with AI 15. Use AI to edit out “um” in videos to save hours in editing  16. Even just muting it would make the person sound better 17. Cleanvoice.ai (EU) 18. Descript.com (US) 19. I thought I had an original idea, but they haven’t done it with video 20. some type of app that makes b2b referrals / affiliates easy to keep track of and manage payouts (platform takes % off top) 21. Automated penetration testing and Malware defense. [https://www.vx-underground.org/malware_defense.html](https://www.vx-underground.org/malware_defense.html) 22. Referral and affiliate tracking 23. [[LLMs and Embeddings]] 24. Langchain: combine multiple LLMs together. 25. BabyAGI, Auto-GPT, JARVIS allow prompters to get past one shot interactions. These tools allow multi-step planning with an LLM. It allows GPT to talk to itself. 26. [www.steamship.com](http://www.steamship.com)    - Journalists bid for stories, AI suggestions ## Service: 1. Teach Influencer compliance. It’s regulated 2. Digital ad transparency compliance. It’s regulated 3. Consult those moving to WFH and help them build their new home office and workstation. 4. Sales decks 5. Offer first 5 free, learn, get reviews, don’t piss them off.  6. Create training videos from Learn Prompting 7. Car wash subscription for neighborhoods or apartment complexes ## Product: 1. Touch screen calculators to be programmed by class level. So you no longer need to buy new calculators each time you advance grades. B&W OLED screen. Private; No camera, no mic, nothing. Provide software packages for each grade/subject. The target customer might be private schools. 2. Lipped body armor to combat ricochet 3. Ground stake mechanism that spreads out as it's pushed underground. 4. Out-of-unit kitchen fan; quiet. Perhaps for luxury apartments and homes 5. Is it possible to fill the mullers so bacteria doesn’t form? 6. bring interpolating deep learning AI to edge devices (desktop cameras) # Orthodox 1. Orthodox (local) business network. Keep cash inside the community. 2. communipal.com 3. Orthodox icon trading cards, or ETFs. Just fun for the kids  4. Orthodox games like Guess Who, Saints Edition # Wildcards 1. Fork btc and use computing to train weights of neural network in exchange for token 2. Drive-thru facetime. Could it improve fast-food UX? Only available at higher-end fast-food chains like CFA, where customers are already used to speaking to someone face-to-face at the drive-thru. No-go for cheaper places like McDs, which had something similar flop in 2016. 3. Hands-free, mechanical gas pump. The right amount of fuel faster and safer by recognizing the car models. Maybe only in states where a pump attendant is legally required to help local gas stations cut costs. It depends on the law: can a robot help the customer? How have we not automated this already? Gassing up your car is super inconvenient. Just use ML and a camera. Targeting RVs makes more sense. It's all standardized. # Portfolio Projects Things I can do now. 1. Make Nand2Tetris Videos (one per chapter) catered to those NOT doing the projects. Condense 160hrs of reading, videos, and projects to 2hrs (10 mins each). “Explaining How modern computers work from Nand gates to Tetris” 2. Dark 2d data visualization 3. Suggest other YouTube vids for more detail on most technical bit of each chapter (ex. Binary) 4. Invite guest expert to speak on modern "perspective" after each vid (or get quote) 5. Analyze, transcribe, and organize ALL Alex Hormozi YouTube videos and train LLM to be advisor 😈 6.

Train ChatGPT on 1%-ers (literally the highest performers) to perform commoditized services consulting (lawyer, doctor, investor, designers, etc.) and charge half but be 10x smarter. Trained on industry best practices to pass every major industry certification. Charge per hour (only pay for what you need); simple arbitrage on API costs mixed in with proprietary training data. Eradicate consultants, which everyone hates anyway. Update the proprietary data annually based on new certifications, standards, or requirements. 10% of consultants will remain. Possibly choose specific faces, like Masterclass; super high-quality experience, and character AIs for each domain. There may be many people who have enough $ to pay serious $ but cannot access certain experts due to their status. Also, monetize through affiliate links for products the AI refers people to. Zuck called this "AI persona" 17. Pocketconsultant.ai 18.  Consulting.ai on Dan.com. 19. elitegeni.com 20. elitemind.ai 21. Skillwizard... 22. Train ChatGPT on headline formula  23.
