- This article discusses how “AI Wrappers”, essentially applications built around artificial intelligence (AI) technology, hold significant promise for developers and businesses alike.
- These applications primarily use AI as a foundation to provide various services, like handling complex Excel formulas, generating high-quality photos, or extracting data from PDFs.
The relatively low-cost and widely-accessible nature of AI technologies, like OpenAI API, has opened up vast opportunities for small development teams or solo developers to create MVP (Minimum Viable Product) AI applications rapidly and efficiently. Examining some working sites, the article mentions applications like Formula Bot, PhotoAI, and PDF AI, which are generating substantial revenues. These applications are built around AI technology to resolve niche requirements.
Even though building an AI Wrapper might not be technically challenging for seasoned developers, it’s more about the discipline to start testing the steps by hand, understanding the kind of queries and responses, using AI platform helpers, and integrating payment solutions. It emphasizes the importance of isolating the product financially, probably by starting a limited company, and automating as much process as possible.
The article advocates the belief of continuous iteration once the first MVP is publicly available. It suggests focusing more on what the users see and how they respond, which paves the path for improving the customer journey.
For developers and businesses who are hunting for a lucrative opportunity, AI wrappers present a promising avenue. However, the success of these AI applications is not just about the technology or the product, but also about marketing efforts and offering a unique value proposition.
