<\/a><\/p>\nThere\u2018s nothing to fear, though, because, spoiler alert, there is still space for you to take your claim. In this piece, I\u2019ll review the current state of the AI market and share a few AI business ideas for entrepreneurs interested in entering the AI world.<\/p>\n
Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n Recent research<\/a> found that AI adoption increased by 44% in 2024, jumping to 72% after sitting comfortably at 50% for six years. Another survey found that 79% of corporate strategies think technologies (including AI) will be critical to their success over the next two years.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, the AI market grew to more than 184 billion USD in 2024<\/a>, up from 50 billion in just 2023\u2014that\u2019s a 268 percent increase.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not surprised by these stats, and they only mean one thing: AI is booming.<\/p>\n AI usage varies<\/a> across industries, departments, and even among individual users.<\/p>\n Overall, our HubSpot research<\/a> shows that generative AI is one of the most common applications of AI, especially among marketers who use it for content creation<\/a> and salespeople (who say generative AI is their most leveraged tool).<\/p>\n Other organizations report<\/a> regularly using generative AI for tasks like content support, identifying leads, and personalizing experiences.<\/p>\n Consumers can also use generative AI for personal needs. For example, I could use Claude to help me brainstorm title ideas for this blog post, and then use it to help me plan my next vacation.<\/p>\n Other popular use cases for AI across different industries include:<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n I promise that this is my last historical reference, but people have said that the current AI boom will have similar effects to the industrial revolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n And, if I\u2019m remembering my high school history correctly, an AI \u201cindustrial revolution\u201d means a significant business opportunity for you, an entrepreneur, to launch an AI business.<\/p>\n If you want to get a slice of the AI market cake, take a look at this list of 13 AI business ideas I\u2019ve come up with and see what piques your interest.<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: These are not fully developed ideas. If you find one of interest, use my outline as a baseline for all the other starting-a-business requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n Your AI-powered local business assistant helps small businesses automate<\/a> routine practices, freeing up time to focus on building relationships with local clientele. Business-specific intelligence can also help with customer service, inventory management, and localized marketing tips.<\/p>\n Why It Works:<\/strong> I think this AI-business stands out from the crowd because existing tools that offer similar features can come with a higher price point, which doesn\u2019t cater to the smaller-scale needs of local businesses.<\/p>\n Personalization is the best way to offer AI to the education system, and your dynamic education platform could personalize the learning process by identifying learning gaps, offering real-time pace adjustment, and giving parents and teachers dashboards for progress tracking.<\/p>\n Why It Works: <\/strong>Educational institutions have continued to offer the hybrid learning models that arose during the pandemic, but it can be challenging to keep learners on track if they\u2019re not in a classroom. This business meets the needs of those looking to provide the same level of education, regardless of where a student is.<\/p>\n An AI-powered legal research assistant uses algorithms trained on historical legal data to help professionals search for and quickly find the case law, statutes, and precedent data they need to be successful at work.<\/p>\n You can set yourself apart from other businesses (and general generative tools) by catering to specific legal fields (like corporate law, tax law, fraud, etc.)<\/p>\n Why It Works:<\/strong> Lawyers and attorneys spend significant time researching case law and finding supporting precedence for their cases. You\u2019d give people time back with a trusty sidekick that helps quickly find what they need.<\/p>\n This tool uses historical data (trends, fashion images, patterns, etc.) and social listening to uncover current cultural conversations to give trend predictions and identify business opportunities. Focusing on a specific fashion vertical will set your business apart from companies or tools that offer similar functions.<\/p>\n Why It Works:<\/strong> Traditional trend research requires sifting through a significant number of sources and can be time-consuming. This tool is a fashion expert’s trusty sidekick, and it surfaces patterns, trends, and suggestions faster.<\/p>\n Your AI-powered content localization tool helps businesses adapt content across cultures and languages. It can offer dialect-specific translation, market messaging localization, and context-aware translations.<\/p>\n Why It Works:<\/strong> Every business that hopes to expand its global reach needs to accurately communicate with audiences, beyond simple translation.<\/p>\n With this business, you\u2019d offer a tool that analyzes building plans and to help identify potential issues before construction begins, optimize resource allocation and scheduling, and automate progress reporting for stakeholders.<\/p>\n Why It Works:<\/strong> Delays that cause productivity issues are a significant pain point for the construction industry, and technological solutions can help contractors, architects, and all relevant stakeholders optimize their strategies.<\/p>\n Your AI-powered platform for restaurants helps streamline and automate tasks like inventory ordering and ingredient needs, market informed menu pricing, and staffing recommendations based on past customer flow.<\/p>\n Why It Works: <\/strong>Restaurants can operate on thin margins, so a tool that helps optimize spending and staffing needs can help managers and owners make the right decisions and better serve customers.<\/p>\n An AI-powered scheduling system uses historical appointment data (from patients and providers) to optimize scheduling and time slot allocations.<\/p>\n Why It Works: <\/strong>Manual appointment scheduling is prone to human error. An algorithm trained on medical provider or provider office appointment history wastes less time for patients and providers.<\/p>\n Sellers want buyers to get their products in a timely manner, but shipping interruptions can prevent that. This tool optimizes logistics by analyzing historical trip data to suggest the best routes, track progress, and ensure timely deliveries to help sellers meet customer expectations.<\/p>\n Why It Works:<\/strong> Regular GPS systems monitor traffic patterns and give route adjustments, but this tool focuses on the needs of truck freight shipping and gives suggestions and recommendations that follow truck roads.<\/p>\n Your reservation management tool generates personalized recommendations for hotel guests and uses predictive analytics and individual preferences to suggest booking adjustments.<\/p>\n Why It Works: <\/strong>Hospitality faces ever-increasing customer expectations, and this tool helps you help businesses meet personalization desires.<\/p>\n The ten ideas I just went over incorporate AI into the service you offer customers.<\/p>\n The next three are still AI business ideas, but AI plays a greater part in helping you with your day-to-day operations, rather than being a customer-facing tool.<\/p>\n An AI support agency helps businesses identify areas where implementing AI will streamline processes and save time. You can dive into their workflows, pinpoint where automation can be helpful, and help create usage and best practice documentation so all employees understand how and when to use their tools.<\/p>\n Why It Works:<\/strong> A challenge businesses face with AI adoption is understanding how and where to implement it. With this business, you\u2019ll help organizations overcome this challenge \u2014 you just have to figure out what industry you want to work in.<\/p>\n For this business, you\u2019d help companies process, categorize, and clean up the training data they\u2019d need to build their own AI tools (like a custom GPT<\/a>). For example, if a regional healthcare network is creating a custom tool for coding medical procedures, you can analyze its historical data, clean it up, and format it so it\u2019s optimal for AI training.<\/p>\n Why It Works: <\/strong>A bottleneck to AI adoption is having quality training data. As more and more businesses look to adopt AI into their workflows, you\u2019re poised to meet that need. To stand out from the crowd, I recommend choosing a select few industries to operate in so you can have the focused expertise that high-performing AI businesses need.<\/p>\n With this business, you\u2019ll use AI to create synthetic data sets that mimic the real-world data sets companies use to gain critical insights, improve the performance of their own AI tools, and collaborate with stakeholders.<\/p>\n Why It Works<\/strong>: All businesses rely on data to run their operations, so providing synthetic data helps them do so while maintaining compliance and prioritizing data privacy<\/a>. If you go this route, I recommend selecting a specific industry you\u2019ll support because this type of specialization will set you apart from competitors.<\/p>\n\n
