Negative Nancy says - ‘People can detect AI-generated text and images and gives negative impression’

Me - AI has grown beyond this. The latest AI solutions can generate human faces, images, text. It’s not that people cannot detect an AI face but it’s just that with the recent improvements in AI, it won’t look odd to the customer. Since this saves a lot of time for companies, companies started adopting AI-based solutions.

Negative Nancy says - ‘E-Commerce is too big for me’

Me - Pick on a niche in the eCommerce segment. You can pick as small as a plugin for Etsy, Shopify, or Magento. It doesn’t have to be a big complex solution. Start small and understand the ecosystem.

Deep-dive & Some niches

• AI-Generated Product titles/placeholder images/descriptions: There are thousands of e-commerce companies and one of the biggest problems for these companies - is “Writing the Product titles and product descriptions”. Writing the titles/descriptions doesn’t just mean merely writing but also validating with various A/B tests and multiple variations to see which text is giving higher ROIs and better SEO. Create a Micro SaaS tool based on AI that can automatically generate multiple variants of titles and descriptions for a given product. The Micro SaaS tool should be able to generate titles/descriptions for thousands of products. To start with you can let users upload a file with some data and create AI-generated data and ask the users to download the generated file But in the long run, you need to automate this and integrate with various e-commerce providers and add this as an Add-on on their marketplaces. Integrations with Shopify, Magento, Woocommerce, etc will make it much easier to get more paid users. Perci solving a similar problem is currently at $240 MRR. Built by Britton.

• Tools for Amazon Listings: A complete toolset for selling on Amazon using AI tools. Preparing for selling on Amazon needs a lot of group work with analysis of what to sell, how to order, keyword analysis for top searched keywords, generating product descriptions, generating images based on Amazon guidelines. Create a Micro SaaS tool exclusively for Amazon Listings/Amazon Sellers that can do all of this using AI and historical data of the market. Integrate tools like Competitor Insights, Seach Engine Tracker, etc to show the insights. Add tools like Listing Optimization Tool and Keyword Research Tool. Listing Optimization Tool should use AI to suggest the most effective changes in your listing that would increase your conversion rate. The keyword research tool should use AI to find the most important keywords that are relevant to your listing and your competitors. You can also add tools like the Competitor Tracking Tool that shows what keywords your competitors are targeting so you can target them too and outrank them in the long term. CopyMonkey founded in 2020 has received $70K in funding in the same niche.

• Sentiment Analysis of E-Commerce Reviews/E-Commerce Brands: Build a Micro-SaaS tool that can take E-Commerce reviews data periodically and do sentiment analysis on top of this data. There are various use cases for a tool like this. This can be used to see the sentiment of the Tweets related to a brand on Twitter or this can be used to see the sentiment of the e-commerce product reviews. The Micro-SaaS tool should be able to read the text and get the sentiment of the text (positive, negative, or neutral). As an add-on, your tools can provide options like - taking an action based on the sentiment of the tweet/product review. For example, if the review for a sale sounds negative, create a ticket to the support team automatically and assign it. Or after a batch run if you find that a product crosses the threshold of negative sentiment with its reviews, send an automated alert. There are a lot of possibilities with a tool like this. See here how this can be done on AWS.

• AI-Based recommendations to cross-sell/upsell: Cross-selling and upselling products to the right customers at the right time are one of the best ways to increase conversion rates and average order values. Most eCommerce stores utilize product recommendations, whether that be via a display ad or other means. The problem is, these product recommendations are largely based on inaccurate information and/or incomplete data sets. AI technology has evolved to the point where it can help provide more personalized product recommendations. This helps stores to capture additional revenue from existing customers, which can have a significant impact on the revenue bottom line. The objective was to increase the average cart value by recommending products that were complementary to the ones in the customer’s cart (cross-sell) and/or better than the ones in the customer’s cart (up-sell). Create a Micro SaaS to help with this and remember to start small by creating a plugin for any of the major e-commerce ecosystem platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, etc. Once you get enough traction and the AI engine is robust, expand to other platforms. Wiser , an AI driven personalized product recommendations app for Shopify received $5M in funding solving the same problem.
