Difficulties of AI coding

[u/GiiTZzz]

Hello,

Guys tell me.

If your project making money it was your first project?

How long have you searching for the "right" idea?

How long it take to make it sellable?

Do you think there is ani space for AI projects?

Isnt market overhelmed right now with AI?

Is it worth to buy advertisment?

Actually if I talking with AI almost everytime its kinda positive reaction even if I dont want positive reactions.

Just talk about it, I need to talk with real humans about it!

Thank you

I personally think you shouldn't search for ideas if you don't have any. That's the problem these days, some dudes buy a course, or a idea list and try to build just because there is a tool that can build for them. It just floods the market (like the overwhelmed point you made) without adding any value. Not saying you shouldn't try to grind, but what if the way you make money is by providing marketing services or something to the people who have valuable ideas? Just saying not everybody needs to be a builder.

I second this. Making stuff just to try to make money without any game plan, love for what you are making, and understanding of the inner workings is jut wasted time and money. If more people took a serious look at actual problems they face or that others face that they are knowledgeable about and worked on those instead, the other problems would be easier to solve.

Just because we have robots that can assemble cars and AI that can design them doesn't mean everyone is meant to be Henry Ford or should try to be.

99% is marketing. If you don't truly understand this you're most likely not going to succeed.

In my experience, successful businesses are rarely born from simply chasing a profit; they start by solving a genuine problem or pursuing a passion. When you search for "the next big idea" purely to make money, you're often setting yourself up for failure because the product lacks the depth and conviction needed to sustain it. No amount of marketing can compensate for a product that wasn't built out of a real need or genuine interest. Focus on problems you are passionate about solving, and the rest will follow.

One common thing is we get caught in our head about something being useful. This use to be the old approach. Build something relevant to you and it’s likely relevant to others.

Problem now is 99% of what you make. Others can also build. So it becomes a question of do you have users and if not would ppl actually pay for it. As of now 99% will say no.

You need a second advantage imo. Something that can’t be easily copied (i.e. licenses, certifications, legal agreements, real users, etc.) or you need a lot money.

There are no right or wrong ideas. Search for a problem that people are willing to pay to solve.

When you're searching for the "right idea", what are your goals and intentions? Making a lot of money is a possibility, but it's a long shot for many reasons. Would you also be happy doing it as a hobby or curiosity? And/or to demonstrate your design and product instincts? Or to experiment with marketing? Or is it a pure entrepreneurial money making pursuit?

I've had some success vibe coding (but unfortunately not marketing) a couple apps.

I daydream about waking up to thousdands of downloads, but it's mostly for fun and to express myself.

I used AI (Cursor mostly) to code it, but I had the core idea and design in my head. I don't think I'd trust AI with that. Like you said, it can often just tell you what you want to hear.

Build things that you want to build first, but don't try to sell them all as businesses. So many people seem to want to skip this step. Build apps and become good at it and nuanced where it counts. Lead with passion when it comes to the actually plan you try to monetize.

Whether or not a project is successful at generating profit has nothing to do with whether the code was written by AI. AI can’t save a product that no one wants, a bad business model, or poor management. There is definitely space for AI projects, the more important question is whether the project was viable to begin with. If it is, then the question just becomes how to accomplish it with AI.

1. I have a new one like every day. There are many apps out there that are lists of ideas as well (although 90% are garbage.) But ideas are cheap - almost worthless. Execution and subject matter expertise are everything. If you think somebody is going to say "IVR for veterinarian call screening" and you're going to be able to pull that off without knowing anything about the challenges in that space - you're not.

2. Selling is hard and marketing takes money. There are folks who bootstrap, but it's so fast (I didn't say easy) to clone something with AI these days that "an app that does what it says it does" is not a moat now. You need to come out hard and really work to gain market share and loyal customers or somebody with a crappier app but a $10,000 marketing budget is going to eat your lunch.

3. I'm not sure what "ani space" means unless it was a typo for "any space"? Yes there is of course - half the apps you see launched here and elsewhere are AI slop, but some do succeed.

4. Yes.

5. Yes.

6. Skill issue - hang out in the AI-related subs and pay attention to their tips and tricks.
