The market, and why this works now
The rise of GPT-4 and similar AI models makes developing an AI content creation assistant viable today. A potential first-revenue move could be promoting the product on the Content Marketing Institute's website, where content creators frequently seek tools to enhance their workflow. However, significant capital may be required for initial development and marketing efforts, which could extend the customer acquisition cost payback window beyond expectations.
