The problem it solves
It addresses the difficulty many non-technical users face when trying to set up automation workflows from scratch, providing them with ready-to-use solutions that save time and effort.
How it makes money
Subscription-based access to a library of templates, with options for one-time purchases of individual templates.
Skills you need
Basic skills in automation tools, familiarity with common business processes, and an understanding of user needs.
The market, and why this works now
Lindy AI's recent updates to its automation capabilities make it easier for users to implement custom workflows without extensive technical knowledge. A viable first-revenue move is to list templates on platforms like the SaaS marketplace AppSumo, which caters to small business owners seeking efficient solutions. A significant risk is the dependency on Lindy AI's platform, as changes in their service or pricing could directly impact the viability of the automation templates.
