Ideas?
Before you add AI to your product, find the screen where your users already copy and paste.
That's usually where the real AI feature lives. Not a chatbot in the corner, but a step people already do by hand: summarising a ticket, drafting a reply, tagging an upload, pulling fields out of a PDF.
Here's the order I follow when a founder asks me to add AI to an existing SaaS:
1. Pick one workflow, not "AI everywhere." Watch where users leave your app to paste something into ChatGPT and come back. That round trip is your feature.
2. Keep the model behind your own API. One service owns prompts, retries, logging and cost limits, so you can switch providers without touching the frontend.
3. Make it tenant-aware from day one. Each customer's data, prompts and usage stay scoped to their account, or the first enterprise security review will stop you.
4. Ship a draft, not a decision. Let the AI suggest and the user approve. You earn trust and get real feedback before you automate anything.
5. Measure accepted output, not tokens. If users rewrite most of what it produces, the prompt or the context is wrong, and that's your real roadmap.
Most AI features that flop didn't fail because of the model. They were bolted onto the wrong step.
What's the one task your users still copy into ChatGPT?
I used recraft.ai today, and I have to say it’s the best AI tool for cohesive, pleasing designs. From just a prompt, I got such clear visuals. I was amazed! Check this out- this is my creation for a collection I’m working on.
🌊✨ What if following a mermaid led you to a whole new world?
For the CapCut World LA Challenge, I came up with a little fantasy story about a young man who encounters a mysterious mermaid in the ocean and follows her to a hidden island filled with lights, music, and celebration. 🎬
I wanted to make it feel like stepping into a dreamy, dark fairy tale, with beautiful visuals, magical moments, and smooth transitions that make the whole journey feel connected.
This was such a fun concept to explore, and I loved bringing together AI filmmaking, storytelling, and cinematic visuals to bring the idea to life.
