🎁 Unlock Massive Profits with AI Wrappers

AI Wrappers are blowing up right now. They serve as an interface or middleware that simplifies the interaction with complex AI models. You can think of them as tools that send info to an AI’s API and, in return, give you the output based on the instruction.

Market Demand

• Accessibility: Wrappers lower the entry barrier for businesses wanting to create a project without significant investments in AI expertise or coding knowledge.

• Monetization: Many AI wrappers operate on a subscription model. This ensures ongoing revenue and makes it accessible to a broader audience.

• Revenue Potential: AI wrappers have proven to have the ability to generate significant revenue. Here are some examples of wrappers without a large team involved:
  

  • Pieter Levels' photo avatar project, which makes $55,000 per month.

  • David Bressler's Formula Bot, which generates $300,000 per year.

  • Damon Chen's PDF AI made $100,000 monthly within five months of launch.

🤝 Opportunities

📺 Create Your AI-Generated TV Shows

Yes, you read that right. Soon, you can create your animated TV shows with Showrunner ‘The Netflix of AI.’ Think of South Park, Rick & Morty, or any anime-style content.

• Hollywood Interest: After the success of South Park episodes, major studios are exploring interactive TV shows in which fans create episodes and share revenue with original creators.

• Style of Content: An interesting question is around the idea of when will we be able to create a ‘live-action Hollywood style movie from our bedroom’. The founder answered this by saying, “It’s gonna be a while for AI to get to live action - might be false starts like that Final Fantasy movie in the 2000s, but it’ll be cartoons for AI for a while, we think."

• Thoughts: Check out this thread for a quick update and get some real-world examples. As expected, there is also a lot of hate from creators in the comment section, taking jobs from Animators, writers, and voice actors, essentially living in a ‘Black Mirror’ scenario.
