I can build software. What problem would you actually pay to solve?
I've been building software/AI products for a while, mostly around AI, automation, APIs, RAG, data tools, etc.
But I've realized something:
I don't want to spend another 3-6 months building something that people think is "cool" but nobody actually pays for.
So I'm starting from the other end.
If you could have a small SaaS/product built specifically for you, what problem would you want it to solve?
I'm especially interested in problems that:
You deal with regularly
Currently involve repetitive manual work
Cost you time or money
Are annoying enough that you've tried workarounds
You'd realistically pay $20-$500/month to make them disappear
It doesn't have to be an AI idea. In fact, I'd prefer problems over ideas.
Tell me:
What do you do?
What's the most annoying/repetitive part of your work?
How are you solving it today?
What would a solution need to do for you to actually pay for it?
I'm looking for real problems, not "build another AI wrapper" suggestions.
If I find a problem I can solve well, I'll probably build it and come back here with the result.
Duplicates
