You don't need to build a new AI model to make money. The biggest opportunity right now is in "AI Wrappers"—simple interfaces that use powerful models (like GPT-4) to solve a very specific problem for a specific person.
What is a Wrapper?
ChatGPT is a generalist. It can do everything. But "everything" is overwhelming for a lawyer who just wants to draft a contract, or a real estate agent who just wants to write a listing description.
A wrapper is a simple app where you pre-prompt the AI behind the scenes. The user sees a form: "Enter House Details." They click "Generate." They get a perfect listing description. They pay you $29/month for the convenience.
Ideas for 2025
- Legal Letter Generator: For tenants dealing with bad landlords.
- Wedding Vow Writer: For stressed couples.
- Excel Formula Fixer: For accountants.
- Menu Generator: For restaurant owners based on ingredients.
The Tech Stack
You can build these with almost no code:
- Frontend: Bubble.io or Streamlit.
- Backend: OpenAI API (via LangChain).
- Payments: Stripe.
The key isn't the technology; it's the marketing. Find a niche that has a painful problem and money to spend, and build the "Easy Button" for them using AI.
