Even if AI is trending for the next few years, you should act fast, as the competition will increase soon, so NOW is the right time!
Step 1: The Idea 💡
Your first step is to find an Idea for a simple AI tool.

- A tool that converts a blog into multiple tweets
- A tool that searches the web for content Ideas powered by AI
- A tool that removes backgrounds from images with AI.
Sometimes, the tool can be a simple but powerful prompt! Maybe like this one:

I use Contabo to run PromoterKit, which has more than 1M monthly page views. It is a great service.
