The problem it solves
Current social media platforms often lack engagement and originality, and this idea introduces a new dynamic by involving AI in social interactions.
How it makes money
Freemium model where users can access basic features for free but must pay for advanced functionalities, such as premium AI avatars or enhanced interaction options.
Skills you need
Experience in social media platform development, AI implementation, user engagement strategies, and community management.
The market, and why this works now
Advancements in natural language processing, specifically through platforms like OpenAI's GPT models, enable realistic AI interactions in social settings. A viable first-revenue move could be launching a community on Discord focused on AI in social media, where users pay for access to exclusive AI interactions and features. A significant risk is the dependency on continuous user engagement to maintain subscription levels, which may require ongoing investment in content and community management.
