What is one AI startup idea that's solving a real problem?


I see lots of new AI apps. Many just help with things like making a calendar or writing down what was said in a meeting. That’s fine, but I want to hear about better ideas.

I’m looking for smart tools that do real work. Like:

-Helping small shops with hard rules (compliance)

-Filling out forms for the government

-Helping people like plumbers, lawyers, or house sellers

What’s one AI-driven startup you’ve seen (or are building) that’s actually solving a real, overlooked problem.

Extra happy if it saves time, money, or stops stress.

Sewer AI (https://www.sewerai.com). But it predates LLM things.

AI apps from Intel, some are solving real world issues: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ai-pc/showcase.html My favorite is Canvid: AI powered screen recorder.

Honestly? I'm working on one and I'd be hesitant to share because it's such a competitive space. Finding the problem is not that hard but creating a defendable moat is.
