[00:00:00] Hey, business besties. Welcome back to Female Founder World. I'm Jasmine. I'm the host of the show and I'm the person behind. All things female found world, and I'm doing something different today. This is a solo episode where I'm deep diving on something that I have become completely obsessed with, which is the business ideas that AI has unlocked for those of us that don't really have any technical or coding skills.
Because one of the things that I've realized as I've been exploring this space over the last four, maybe five months, is that actually anything is possible now, and the other thing I learned is that women are not using ai, 85% of chat GPT users are men, and most of the users are under the age of 25. And when we think about what that means for the future of wealth creation and power and culture, it just means women are being left behind.
And yes, there are a lot of ethical things that we need to consider as you're building with ai, but I don't want that to be the reason why you don't explore this space and see what's [00:01:00] possible for you, I promise it is so much easier than what these tech bros on LinkedIn are making it sound.
If you can make a deck in Canva or a PowerPoint presentation, you can build something with ai. Today I am sharing three ideas that I've had about businesses that need to be built using ai. And these are things that I've actually thought about doing myself I just decided.
In the spirit of practicing what I preach, which is not to gate keep, I am going to share these ideas with you, my business besties. And if one of you goes off, or a few of you go off and build some of these, loop me in, send me a dm, let me know. Maybe I can invest, maybe I can help amplify it. Maybe I can find a way to support.
But I think these are gonna be really incredible opportunities for someone. And it may as well be you.
My first idea is the lowest hanging fruit, I think, and that is to go out and become an expert in one of these functions of ai. And I think the one to really figure out, and the easiest one to just get involved with right now is to [00:02:00] become an expert in creating UGC style images.
With ai, we know that content creation is blowing up. We know that with recent changes with meta ads, it's actually become a lot less important to know how to target. With meta ads, it's become way more important to know how to create good content that converts. And if you are someone who understands content, I promise you, you can figure out how to create that content.
Chat GPT. You don't even need one of the more kind of fancy tools like Mid Journey, but you could explore this if you wanted to as well, because now Chat, GPT is actually really good at creating amazing quality images, but it's time consuming and it's finicky and you need to get really good at prompting, and I think it takes a lot of effort that most business owners just.
Don't have the time or the willingness to do, particularly if they're already outsourcing to creators or they kind of have their workflow sorted, interrupting it to figure out AI might just be something that they're [00:03:00] not gonna prioritize. So maybe you figure it out and you do that for them, and it could be a side hustle while you're.
Building your other business, or maybe you are looking for your big idea and this is it. But I just become really, really good at this. And then become known as the person with this skillset. I'd become known on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok. I'd share the images I was creating. I would create images for the brands that I wanted to work for and share them as examples of what's possible to do with ai.
And I think that the moat that you build for yourself in this business will be around personal brand and trust, because these tools are going to get better and better and become easier and easier to use.
So as that barrier to creating good content is lowered, you wanna have the brand and the trust so that people are still going to you to set it up or to do it for them. And if you're starting with zero experience, but you are someone that has good instincts and good taste levels around content, the best way to learn this is just start by doing.
Or in my experience, that's [00:04:00] been the best way to do it. I would start off with some YouTube and LinkedIn deep diving.
But then go and get the paid version of chat GPT. It's about 20 bucks a month, and just start making images. Then share that stuff on social, start drumming up interest. And I really think you'll be on your way. I'd reach out directly to brands using AI to power your sales engine, and there are heaps of resources on YouTube about how to do this super, super cheaply.
And then if you happen to have access to some cash or you've got access to financing, I think you could also acquire some boutique UGC agencies and just insert AI into their workflows to make the businesses so much more profitable and be able to scale using AI and their existing client database and their existing, , real life creators as well.
Something else, which is kind of adjacent to this idea that I think is gonna be really interesting is AI generated influences. I really do think that we are not very far away from a future [00:05:00] where all brands have armies of influences and creators on TikTok and Instagram and YouTube, and honestly even podcasts that become personalities in their niches and are speaking to different subsets of their customers.
They own those personalities because they're fully AI generated. Honestly, I've been pretty impressed by the tools that exist now to do this, but they're going to get so, so much better and it's gonna happen really, really quickly. So go and become the expert in this space, and then find a couple of brands that you can start off as a test case where you can create these influencers and be the person that manages it for them because I really do think that this is the future of influencer marketing and there's an opportunity for someone to go and make their mark here and start building this business. Honestly, it may as well be you and I am geeking out a bit about giving away this idea because I think it's a really, really good one.
I might go and do it too. , my next idea is something that I wanna exist.
Okay, business besties, [00:06:00] let's switch gears for a second. Real quick, I want to talk to you about this season's presenting sponsor, Vistaprint.

I'm really woowoo. I love astrology and. While I don't live my life by it, I feel like it's a really fun thing in my life. And I would like to deep dive a little more, and I think there should be a personalized astrology chat bot, and I think you could build this with AI and have no experience with coding and make something pretty good, at least an MVP where you could really test this idea.
Right now I subscribe to the Chaney app, which is a pretty basic astrology app where you have your birth chart and they give you your reading based on your rising sign every single week. It's about 12 bucks a month, but I would pay so much more to have access to an astrology chatbot
that just knew my birth chart on a way more granular level, and I could [00:08:00] treat it almost like a personal astrologer. I could say, Hey, I wanna plan a holiday. When should I do it? Or, I just met someone. Do you think the timing is right for me to meet the future love of my life? Questions like that
and they get these personalized responses back based on my own chart.
I'm also gonna share some pointers on how I would build this, and I would start by testing the idea with something that requires zero coding. And I really think you could probably build something pretty scrappily in a few days if you've played around with these tools before.
Maybe a little bit longer if it's totally new to you, but you can a hundred percent do this yourself. While building this, I would become an astrology influencer. You guys know I love a founder-led brand, and so I would do something fun and viral, like creating a makeshift table, offering astrology readings, maybe on the L train if I lived in New York. So between Williams. Berg and First Avenue was about 10 minutes and no one can get off the train.
And so I would set up a little makeshift table. Maybe I would wear something really distinctive or have like [00:09:00] distinctive merch or something, and I would do astrology readings on the train and I would turn that into content, and that would be my viral content series, and I would do multiple of these every single day.
I'd start by creating my astrology data set or knowledge base in like Airtable or Google Sheets.
And that sounds a bit fancy, but really you just need to tell the AI that a certain placement can be associated with a certain interpretation. So like you've got a moon in Pisces, maybe this means you have some emotional depth. I'd probably wanna partner with someone who is established in the space.
Maybe they have a book or a course or something that we can use on how they interpret and read astrology, and then I would train my model with this information. I.
There are definitely people out there who would scrape like courses or books or Channy or something like that to get the data they need without licensing it. But that is super dodgy and we don't do that here, so I wouldn't do that. But there are definitely people out there who would do that. So next you need to collect the user's birth chart information.
You'd create a website with like member app or something, [00:10:00] make people pay and log in, and then they would enter their birth chart information into like a type, form or tally,
and I am sorry if this is getting technical. I'm nearly done with the nuts and bolts of this idea, but I want you to have the tools to go and do this right now. And if this isn't the idea for you, I want you to know some tools that you can go and check out and explore to see what else you can create. So I'd use make.com or Zapier, and
I'd call the Astro API Daily and get daily transits and then you could use chat bot kit or maybe voice flow connected with chat DPT, and that would actually like fuel the chat bot that people would interact with, where they could ask questions about their birth chart and their astrology.
Astrology is gonna be a $23 billion market by 2031. AI is disrupting everything. Put those two things together and I think you have a really solid business idea that you can whip up in a weekend.
The next thing I think could be really interesting to build with AI right now is hyper-local newsletters and a lot of them, and I don't actually think newsletters are something to get super, super [00:11:00] excited about right now.
There are just, honestly, I. So many. I've been working in media forever, and I just think this space is tapped out. It's too crowded, it's too busy. But I think AI makes this very specific idea interesting. And that's because local news is kind of hard to do. 'cause it requires someone like boots on the ground local who knows what they're doing to be the writer or the editor and have hyper-specific knowledge.
But now AI can do a lot of this for you. AI can do a lot of this kind of research and scraping and content creation for you. And it can also build a sales engine for you where you can target local businesses and get them to advertise in your newsletter. And I would also just run ads to local areas and get people to subscribe to the newsletter or pay to subscribe to the newsletter to get local news.
This idea would require AI and humans to get it done and to get it done well. I use AI for some editing and some writing, but I just don't think it's quite up to scratch to be something that's ready to publish.
So I'd use AI to [00:12:00] very cheaply and quickly scrape through local council websites. Stuff like meeting notes, planning approvals, Facebook groups, Reddit, to see what people are talking about in different communities. I'd get RSS feeds from regional newspapers. Public event calendars from libraries, sports clubs, all that kind of stuff.
Weather updates, real estate sales, all the stuff that you would see in a local newspaper. I'd use something like Scrappy or Browse ai, and then I would connect with Zapier or meg.com to send those news updates to Airtable or maybe even Google Sheets or a Notion Desk.
Dashboard and I would just tag them with a different category like real estate or local business or crime, that kind of thing. And then prompt chat, GPT to repackage each story into newsletter ready copy. And then I would have a real person who would oversee all of these different newsletters. I would have them edit it to make sure that it's accurate and that the tone is good.
I'd have them upload it to like beehive as my publisher and to actually send the newsletter.
These are three ideas [00:13:00] that I think could make you a lot of money really quickly, and actually more importantly than that, I think even just exploring one of these ideas over the next few weeks, whether or not it becomes your thing it gives you a focus to be able to practically create something using AI tools, and I think we'll just open up this world of possibility about what you can actually do with AI and what is now available to you, because honestly, anything is possible in this new world,
I want you to be able to really confidently use these tools and use this new technology to build the business that you dream of. Whether it is integrating it into the businesses that you have right now or starting something completely new, just go and test these tools out. I promise you, you will not regret it.

It's very different and honestly just that validation makes me feel more comfortable to create more content like this you are gonna see a lot more AI content from Female found world in addition to the regular stuff that you love. We will be back to our regular interview format next week, but you're gonna see more of these solo episodes focused on how to use AI in your business kind of peppered throughout the next few months, and I really wanna know what you think of them.
