The market, and why this works now
AI tools like OpenAI's GPT-4 can efficiently analyze large datasets, making it feasible to automate complex market research tasks. A viable first-revenue move could be partnering with industry-specific Slack communities, offering a free trial to engage businesses needing research insights. However, the reliance on continuous data input may create a risk related to data quality and accuracy, which could impact the reliability of the insights provided.
