Video Description
In this episode, I am joined by Dan Shipper, co-Founder and CEO of Every, as we explore a wide range of AI startup ideas and business opportunities Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:59 - Startup Idea 1: Advanced Voice Notes 08:46 - Startup Idea 2: N of 1: Personalized Data Science Marketplace 16:00 - Startup Idea 3: Great Books Reimagined 28:16 - Trend to Watch: Voice-First Products 34:21 - Distribution Strategy for AI Apps 1) Advanced Voice Notes Imagine voice notes you can actually talk to! - Record your thoughts while walking • AI creates smart summaries • Team members can "interview" the recording • Get deeper context without endless follow-up questions The future of media might be media you can talk to. 2) N of 1: Personalized Data Science Marketplace Remember Netflix's $1M algorithm challenge? Now ANYONE can be a data scientist with GPT-4. - Post personal/business datasets • Set bounties for predictions • Perfect for health tracking • New way to do personalized science Market size: Think Kaggle but for everyone. 3) Great Books Reimagined Classic literature is valuable but hard to digest. The opportunity: • AI-powered modern translations • Format classics for specific audiences • Create multimedia versions • Add interactive elements Two markets: - Students (massive TAM) - Business intellectuals (high willingness to pay) 4) The Luxury AI Paradox Key insight: As AI makes things cheaper, human-made becomes luxury. Examples: • Broadway shows • Handmade clothing • Mechanical watches Opportunity: Look for what AI is making cheap, then create premium human-made alternatives. 5) Voice-First Products Huge trend: Kids growing up with voice interfaces (Apple Watch + Siri) Opportunities: • Voice-first travel booking • Conversational commerce • Voice-native discovery engines TAM: Could capture 1-5% of existing markets just by being voice-first. 6) Distribution Strategy for AI Apps Dan's approach: • Build media presence first • Target like-minded audience • Use early adopters for feedback • Start with YouTube → funnel to email • Product-led growth after initial traction Want more free ideas?
