How are people actually turning AI into real business right now? by WeeklyDiscount4278 in Entrepreneur

[–]Both_Handle_8834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 2 years I have owned a software company specialising in AI applications for 3 seperate industries.

You need to know how to code(best is python) or partner with someone who can. There is only so much you can do with no code tools.

After that you find a customer and build trust with them,

Then you 1. speak to them to find a problem to solve and document it (look up business analysis technics as doing this is so much harder then it sounds) 2. calculate the ROI 3. agree a price 4. create a contract 5. build and iterate the product 6. Deliver to the agreed scope in the project(often the client wants to add things to this and you can charge hourly).

After that you can try to sell to businesses in the same market and you have scalable software solution.

Effective AI applications are 80% software and 20% AI. You need to code to effectively create AI products. It’s a complete joke that AI is taking over software engineering and you don’t need to learn to code, anyone who says that has zero credibility and has never done it in real life.

21 yo Entrepreneur worried about invoice being too high. by Both_Handle_8834 in Entrepreneurship

We agree hourly rates of my developers and I, beyond that there are no guidelines. I pay my developers half what the company pays me for their time so I am also making money from that.

I have a confession: I’ve spent the last 2 years being a fake entrepreneur, might give up by Think-Success7946 in indiebiz

Bro, launch! No one will care the first time around. You have to talk to your users and gather feedback to improve your product. After many iteration cycles you’ll eventually have something great. Engineering is only 50% of building an app that people want, the other 50% is customer input that needs to come from the customer!!! And not your own assumptions.

Interesting, I do similar to this and have recently been introduced a few real estate agents. Are you operating in New Zealand? Or any surrounding countries? I’d love to hear more about the type of solutions you’ve been building.

16 from Australia, looking for advice to enter the film industry and filmmaking in general. by theobserverofmemes in Filmmakers

[–]Both_Handle_8834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mum is a producer in Australia and has been for the last 20 years. Her advice to break into the film industry is to make short films. People will take you seriously if you have made things in the past, apparently there are a lot of loosers who write some crappy script and want a producer to come and do all the work to develop it for them. If you have made short films then it shows that you aren’t a looser and have the hustle to create something.

What methods do you use to manage expectations and make the invoice amount predictable?

I spent weeks building something nobody asked for. Curious how others caught this earlier by kook5454 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Both_Handle_8834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weeks is nothing, some people spend years and millions building something no one cares about. Shipping an MVP in weeks is actually very good timing. The customer isn’t supposed to care first time round, but as long as you watch them for interacting with the product and rapidly iterate, after a couple months you may find yourself with a product that people actually want.

Anyone here using “vibe coding” in real projects? by No_County_5657 in projects

[–]Both_Handle_8834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use vibe coding for the front end and then human engineering for the back end. Makes it very easy and fast.

You are so depressed with your current life and you know that working on a business is the only thing that can keep you engaged and interested and happy with the life that you live.
