I think it kind of defeats the purpose of valentine letters where one has to put some heart into it

Yeah, its really ridiculous to let a bot do your writing for you, I think thats funny as well though.

Ahah yes, it’s a bit controversial. But it could be a nice experiment to see if people need help to write this kind of letter or greetings in general.
Just keep the letter text editable.
What I find AI useful for is to get good drafts in seconds.

Yeah, the valentines letter would be a sort of marketing gimmick as well, I’d like to add postcards for birthdays etc as well… I am playing around with the idea, its fairly easy to do

If you want easier monetization, look for existing processes/workflows/jobs-to-be-done.
You can create solutions (supply), but you can’t generate the market (demand).
Don’t try to apply novel tools to novel (likely, non-existing) problems. Apply novel tools to old problems.
Also, look more at B2B, not B2C. B2C is so much trickier in terms of creating a stable revenue stream and finding a PMF.
(All IMHO, of course, but I’m open to a conversation)

I find that coming up with ideas for B2B is so hard, but it is arguably a much better route to take, agree with that. Thanks for the perspective… I am gonna be thinking about it for a bit The B2C things I have done been always meant a lot of marketing, people asking questions, etc. Only needing a few dozen business customers would be ideal…

As a 1-2 people team, you can realistically manage up to a few hundred customers if you automate things well but want to give superb support.
Aim for ramen-profitability off your first 100 customers or less. Depending on your lifestyle and the profit margin, you’d usually aim for an average of $20-80/month/customer of pure revenue.
And this is not a lot to ask from businesses, especially in the West. Solving one non-mission-critical problem well and giving a lot of support is enough to ask that money.
Also, once you get the initial validation and know where to find your customers, 100 customers is just 500-1000 sale attempts (emails, calls, DMs, whatever). I hate doing sales and all that, but I also realize that a 2-people team can get it done in under a year along with slowly building up for SEO, content marketing, etc.
