The problem it solves
Many users struggle to effectively utilize AI agents due to a lack of understanding of how to teach and train them for specific workflows, leading to inefficient use of AI technology.
How it makes money
Subscription-based model offering tiered pricing for individuals and businesses, along with one-time purchases for specific skill creation guides.
Skills you need
Knowledge of AI and machine learning, instructional design, and experience in user experience (UX) design.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of low-code platforms like Bubble and Airtable has made it feasible for users without extensive programming skills to create and refine AI agent skills. A practical first-revenue move could involve partnering with communities on Reddit, such as r/MachineLearning, to offer exclusive workshops and subscription discounts for members. A significant constraint is the potential high customer acquisition cost due to competition in the AI training space, which may lead to a longer payback window for initial investments.
