Opportunities at the Edges of AI

It is impossible to ignore how generative AI is disrupting creative fields these days. Here is my personal experience using it for interior design, which also led me to realize how lucrative startups could be built on top of ChatGPT.

I gave ChatGPT the floor plan of my cousin’s flat and asked for design ideas inspired by traditional Indian aesthetics.

What’s incredible is how easily I could translate my intent, convert that into images, and iterate until I got something impressive in just a few minutes. A job long considered creative and time-consuming has come down to a few good prompts.

However, ChatGPT cannot create the technical drawings or specifications needed to actually execute the designs. So there is still a human role in the loop.

Build software that takes ChatGPT’s interior design images and automatically converts them into technical drawings based on a provided floor plan.

More broadly, identifying and filling gaps around GPT’s inputs or outputs could lead to promising startups.

Rather than building obvious features on top of GPT that OpenAI would likely add themselves, identifying complementary opportunities that complete gaps in ChatGPT’s capabilities could be lucrative.

As the GPT Store rolls out, gaps around its offerings can turn into startups. Where the tech falls short in completing end-to-end creative processes, entrepreneurs can fill the void.
