Developers with extensive experience in blockchain are finding it challenging to transition to AI and come up with marketable ideas. The main issue is identifying AI solutions that businesses actually need and are willing to pay for, rather than focusing on niche or less profitable areas like privacy-focused AI.
This problem leads to wasted time and resources on ideas that do not have a market fit, causing frustration and hindering career transitions.
Pain Points
- Difficulty in identifying marketable AI ideas
- Wasted time and resources on non-viable projects
- Frustration in career transition
- Lack of understanding of market needs in AI
- Challenges in pivoting from blockchain to AI
I'm a developer with over 10 years of experience, mostly in the blockchain space. For a long time, I've been feeling like I want to transition toward AI. That's why [I made another post recently with an AI idea I had](https://www.reddit.com/r/Businessideas/comments/1rf57w7/how_do_i_get_first_customers_for_my_european/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). After thinking it through, I realized the idea was off — most businesses would prefer an AI tool that helps them generate more revenue, rather than a super cool privacy-focused AI that's worse and has fewer features. So now, what would you recommend for someone looking to start a business in AI? I’m honestly out of ideas.
