The problem it solves

The market, and why this works now
Natural language processing advancements, particularly with tools like OpenAI's GPT, make AI-driven customer support feasible now. A practical first-revenue move is to list the service on SaaS marketplaces like G2, where businesses actively seek solutions for customer engagement. A potential risk is the initial capital required for infrastructure setup and ongoing maintenance, which may impact cash flow during the early stages.
