The market, and why this works now
OpenAI's ChatGPT API enables businesses to deploy AI agents for tasks like customer support and marketing. An initial revenue move could target the r/SaaS subreddit, where users seek tools to reduce administrative burdens. A significant constraint will be the capital required to develop and maintain the infrastructure to support multiple AI agents, which may exceed initial projections based on user uptake.
