The problem it solves
The inability for teams to analyze the effectiveness and usage of their AI skills, leading to wasted resources on unutilized skills.
How it makes money
Subscription model, charged based on the number of users or data points tracked, with a tiered pricing structure for larger organizations.
Skills you need
Data analysis skills, experience with analytics tools, and understanding of AI skill deployment and usage.
The market, and why this works now
OpenAI's usage-based pricing model for its API facilitates the development of a Skill Usage Analytics Dashboard, allowing organizations to track and visualize AI skill deployment efficiently. The first revenue move could involve targeting users in Lenny's Community to promote early access subscriptions. A significant constraint in the first year will be the challenge of managing customer acquisition costs, particularly as the product relies on demonstrating value to potential users before they commit to a subscription.
