18 Specific AI Product Ideas You Could Build
Pete McPherson shares on the SHN podcast…
18 AI-Assisted Product Ideas You Could Build and SellA few I like the sound of 
But #14 really sticks out to me…
Pete ran a program called “Most Productive Month Ever” where he called participants 3-5 times per week, asking, “How’s it going? Did you do what you said you were going to do?” It had a 100% success rate.
The idea is to automate parts of this process while keeping human elements for real accountability. So AI could handle scheduling, progress tracking, and initial check-ins.
This could work for any goal — fitness, business, creative projects, or personal development.
Reminds me of: Boss As A Service = $62,500 Per Month
Sounds like Pete’s non-automated program was a success, so you could do this manually to start, then work on automating it as you grow 
Earning $3200 as a Brand Deal Closer
MintedFromGritBrand Deal Closer $800 average monthly revenue
MintedFromGrit writes about…
one of the easiest ways to make real money online with just WiFi, email, and guts.
It’s called being a Brand Deal Closer — and if you’ve ever DM’d someone or negotiated anything in life, you already have what it takes.
You reach out to small–medium creators (on YouTube, TikTok, or IG)… DM or email them with a simple pitch: “I help creators find brand deals and negotiate better rates. You don’t pay me anything upfront—I only get a cut (10-30%) when you get paid.”
From there, your job is to find relevant brands, pitch the creator, negotiate the deal, and then collect your commission.
It’s a total win-win: creators make more money, and so do you.
His results from doing this
I have made 3200$ in the past 4 months
So not huge money but plenty of potential with this business model, as I’ve shared before…

$1600/Month After Watching His Dad Use a Computer
Kourosh GhaffariFounder of Voicy $1600 monthly revenueKourosh Ghaffari is the founder of Voicy, an AI speech-to-text app that launched about a year ago 
From a recent interview…
Voicy started when my dad came to visit me in London. He works a lot and spends hours on his laptop, but he types slowly. Around the same time, I tried ChatGPT’s voice dictation feature and was amazed by its accuracy. I thought ‘what if anyone could have that accuracy anywhere on their computer?’…
When I started, my coding skills weren’t strong enough to build a Windows or Mac app. So, I began with a Chrome extension.
The first version was simple; it just added a microphone icon to every text field. Click it, speak, and get the transcript.
Took him about 10 weeks to build the first version with AI coding tools 
I started charging customers in February. Right now, we are at $1,600 in monthly recurring revenue.
Great example of someone building a solution to a real problem they’ve witnessed firsthand.
And using AI tools to become a proficient coder 
Try observing others using tech and see what problems they face.
Might lead to a winning business idea 
Their Small Local Business Earned $16K in One Month
Shar AguilarPhoto Booth Business Owner $16,000 bookings in one monthRingoKid78 writing about his passive income stream
I own a small Photo Booth business. I average 100 events per year at $600 per event… Events are evergreen. Why not capitalize off them?
That’s $60,000 a year, presumably working an average of two days per week 
Then there’s a woman on TikTok talking about a photobooth business she started with her husband about a year ago…
We mostly do weddings… we’ve done 120 or 130 events at this point…
Getting that first gig is always the hardest…
Eventually, I did find a Facebook group where people who are getting married are outsourcing their vendors…
I posted a giveaway to anyone who’s getting married within a certain date range, a certain radius from where we were, who would like a free photo booth at their wedding in exchange for content that we can promote on our social media.
Someone took that offer, they did the gig, and posted the content on TikTok…
[One] video grew to over a million views. And in that weekend alone, we got probably about 100 and 200 inquiries. We were able to book $16,000 worth of events in just one month.
It’s super crazy how TikTok can help small businesses like us
She Got Paid $2000 To Fix AI Mistakes
Sarah SkiddMarketing Manager $100 per hour From a recent article…
AI is making me extra money, says Sarah Skidd, a product marketing manager who writes for tech and start-up companies.
In May Ms Skidd was approached by a content agency to urgently rework website copy that had been produced via generative AI for a hospitality client.
What was supposed to save money had, instead, caused a host of problems.
“It was the kind of copy that you typically see in AI copy – just very basic; it wasn’t interesting,” says Ms Skidd.
“It was supposed to sell and intrigue but instead it was very vanilla.”
Ms Skidd spent about 20 hours rewriting the copy, charging $100 (£74) an hour. Rather than making small changes, she “had to redo the whole thing”.
Sarah says others are getting paid for this kind of work…
“Someone connected with me and said that was 90% of their work right now. So, it’s not only me making money off such missteps, there’s other writers out there.”
Similar story for AI-coded websites: web developers are being hired to fix AI’s mistakes there, too.
If you’ve got skills that AI is encroaching on, consider marketing yourself as an AI Fixer, someone people call on after ChatGPT has botched the job

20-Year-Old Earning $1K/Day With This Local Service Business
First-Meet-5260Window Cleaner $1000 daily revenueFirst-Meet-5260 says he’s earning $1K per day with a window cleaning business
Im 20 years old and started cleaning windows last summer as a side hustle and with $100 worth of equipment scaled up to $1500 of traditional equipment and was making $70-90 per hour.
After going back to college for the year, I invested $3000 into a water fed pole and starting hiring friends. Just hired 4 cleaners and am now clearing $1000/day easily
Finding customers…
Door to door sales in a nice neighborhood! You just have to memorize the main points of your service and know sort of where to take the conversation if they have different objections!
Then when you are there, focus on smiling, being warm and friendly, and try to connect with them on a personal level..
The hardest part is getting uncomfortable and knocking doors. I don’t worry about the rejections, because there are people out there who have dirty windows who don’t want to spend 4 hours cleaning in the sun, so I know I’m there to help.
$7500/Month Solving a Common Travel Headache
Olga MarekovaFounder of Flywize $7500 monthly revenue
Flywize is an online service that helps you claim compensation from lost or delayed flights.
Best I can tell, the site launched within the last 2 years and the homepage is still in Slovakian, the native language of the founder 
Her story…
Olga Marekova never set out to become a founder. In fact, she wasn’t looking to build anything at all—she just wanted a service to exist that could help people get compensation when their flights were delayed or cancelled.
When she realised most passengers were entitled to hundreds of euros and had no idea how to claim it, she started helping friends for free. That eventually turned into Flywize, a bootstrapped SaaS that now brings in $7.5K/month.
Sounds like it was a manual service that eventually became a web app, Olga figuring out how to build it as she went along
Flywize now helps recover €20-30K per month in airline compensation, taking a 30% cut. It has served over 2,000 passengers, mainly in Europe, and recently expanded to help users in the UK and US.
I could see this becoming a huge business.
And I like how Olga started off with a manual service to validate the idea
What’s a manual service you can provide that could eventually be turned into an app?
Earning $10K/Month From His Local Media Side Hustle
Landon HusligFounder of Wichita Life $10,000 monthly revenueWichita Life is a local media brand about the city of Wichita (pop: 400K).
Started by Landon Huslig and his wife as a simple Instagram account back in 2017
According to a recent interview with Landon…
Now, Wichita Life reaches nearly 60,000 people on Instagram and 31,000 via newsletter — engaging a total of 120,000 across all platforms. In 2024, Landon hit his biggest milestone yet: $119,814 in top-line revenue.
“That was the first year I out-earned my day job. That felt big.”
Monetized mainly via sponsors…
to identify sponsors, [Landon] wrote down every billboard advertiser he saw in town.
Pretty cool that he’s been able to build the brand to $10K/month, and it sounds like he’s done it while working a full-time job as an engineer
I believe most cities/regions could support a scrappy local media brand like this.
People seem to prefer these outlets to traditional newspapers and radio stations nowadays.
Could you start one for your area?

Yet Another Form Builder Already Earning $10K Per Month
DavisCo-founder of Youform $10,500 monthly recurring revenue Davis …
Youform has crossed $10,500 MRR
Elsewhere he it took them “a bit over 1 year” to grow from $0 to $9K MRR.
Youform is yet another bootstrapped form builder.
Just like Tally 
From Failure to $100K/Month in 5 Years
Amazing to me that there are so many of these indie form builders finding success, competing with giants like Google, Typeform, Jotform, etc.
Another good reminder that you don’t need an original idea to build a successful business
And competition – even massive competition – is often a good sign.
Just gotta find your unique angle and put in the work consistently.
What’s a popular product or service you think could be better? 
Or one that doesn’t serve a niche audience particularly well?
How about building your unique version?
