Day 1 — Starting the Build
Today was less about “building a billion-dollar AI startup” and more about getting clarity on the actual problems businesses are willing to pay to solve. One thing I’m already realizing:Most businesses do not care about “AI.”They care about: - saving time - reducing repetitive work - getting more leads - responding faster - improving operations - making more money So instead of trying to create some flashy AI product immediately, I’m focusing first on identifying painful workflows that can realistically be automated. Today’s focus: - researching service-based business workflows - mapping repetitive operational tasks - exploring automation opportunities in lead management and follow-ups - studying where AI can create immediate ROI instead of “cool demos” I’m also starting to narrow down potential niches instead of trying to target everyone. One mistake I already want to avoid:Being another generic “AI agency” that offers everything to everyone. The goal is to build systems that businesses actually use consistently — not just impressive prototypes. Tomorrow I’ll start working on the first real automation concept and share the process publicly here.
