Here are the 5 AI niches I would pick if starting today:
1. B2B CompanyGPT Interface 2. ETL for Retrieval-As-A-Service 3. AI Characters 4. Unstructured to Structured Data 5. Around The Org - Enterprise Edition
The breakdown of each one:
1. B2B CompanyGPT Interface
50% of employers don’t pay for ChatGPT
This tells me: 1. Companies haven’t enabled their workforce with LLMs yet 2. There’s an opportunity for a closed-source interface for LLMs
Basically the ChatGPT you wish you had for your employees:
* No API Keys, seamless model selection
* Living knowledge of documents
* Update LLM configuration files with company docs, tone, mission statement
For the admins: analytics/usage, employee engagement, highlight unique use cases that should be evangelized
2. ETL for Retrieval-As-A-Service
Internal documents, best practices, and resources are an absolute mess
But messy is ok when a computer can sift through them - a great use case for LLMs.
Service to manage indexing, splitting, updating, serving docs
Don't start this as a scale play, make one customer very happy first, then move onto #2, then N
Someone is already doing this? Great. The TAM is massive.
3. AI Characters (or mimicking a person)
IMO building a character is going after the hard problem of mimicking the output of a person.
Getting a few cheeky chat messages is straight forward
But copying someone’s persona, decision making process, and style is hard.
My guess is the solution will be the program around the LLM, not the LLM itself.
Building tech around todays LLMs will only get better with tomorrows.
4. Unstructured to Structured Data
Oldy but goodie - LLMs can structure data that was previously locked. My favorite applications are spoken word and recordings
Others include unstructured text in PDFs, gov’t docs, social data, consumer behaviors, etc.
5. Around The Org - Enterprise Edition
When I was at Salesforce, trying to stay up to date with what was going on around the org was a major pain.
You need to track slack, chatter, and read a bunch of documents.
It paid to be informed.
Your decisions are better and you can speak in the language of your peers more efficiently
I want an LLM that could keep me informed on what is going on within my >1K person company.
Emphasis on a personal “so what?” to my role.

1. Managed Retrieval Engines - Getting the *right* context to your AI is tougher than it sounds. @Metal_io announced a @LangChainAI integration. I'll be watching
2. Plugin Developer Monetization...
(full thoughts in a notion doc below)
3. Plug-in Dev Shops - Small team of Devs can ‘translate’ 1000s of API for SMBs and services while taking a cut of traffic monetization
4. Unstructured > Structured - Extracting information from messy text is going to be huge
