The hard part with business has always been finding what problem needs to be solved, something that's under-served in the marketplace. Asking on a public forum like this is, unfortunately, a great way to give identical inspiration to a lot of other people, at which point the winner is immediately (at best) a lottery.

For example, if I were to say "I want to improve my German, make me a personalised tutor" and you thought that sounded good, 300 other people who lurk here without commenting will immediately go "ooh, interesting" and also make the same app (and as everyone will be vibe-coding from almost the same prompt, most of them really will be the exact same app down to the style choices and the number and names of achievements).

This was already a problem before LLMs, where copy-cat apps sprung up the moment anything new got famous and interesting. Clones of Flappy Bird and Wordle, even Apple did this with Sherlock and Microsoft with Internet Explorer.

So, my advice here, is to think small-scale. Find individuals and small businesses near you who are willing to pay for the work of a day to a fortnight, where the hard part is talking to them and learning what their needs are, not individual big projects that bring in $10k all at once. (For a fortnight sized project, you might get lucky and find someone who's up for $10k, but don't count on it).

This makes so much sense 'Ben' and is spot on. The problem I find becoming hard is the survival part, I just have to keep trying, because I have noticed these roles are not coming in easy especially in this era and given the field I am into. Seems like everyone can do whatever with AI right now.
