🤿🤿 Deep-dive &&💡💡Some niches
Micro SaaS for AI Powered Interview Helper
Interview preparation is often challenging because it requires candidates to anticipate a wide range of potential questions, craft their responses to specific job requirements, and effectively communicate their qualifications and experiences. Candidates may struggle with time constraints, lack of access to personalized guidance, and feelings of anxiety or uncertainty about the interview process. AI can assist in preparing for interviews based on resumes by analyzing the content of the resume and providing recommendations and guidance by mapping to the job that the candidate applies for. This involves leveraging natural language processing and AI to extract key information from the resume, such as skills, experiences, and achievements. The AI then uses this information to generate potential interview questions, suggest relevant talking points, and offer tips on how to effectively communicate one's qualifications and experiences during the interview. Interview.study has executed this well and grew to 1k users. Final Round AI is also a good example of automation around interview process for candidates.
Interview.study - Grew to 1k users, and $500+ MRR in 2.5 months.

Micro SaaS for AI Based Website Generation
Creating a website, regardless of how many times one has done it, always involves a significant amount of brainstorming. This process requires careful consideration of various factors, including the target audience, brand messaging, and marketing objectives. From crafting compelling headlines to refining product descriptions and calls-to-action, every aspect of the copy must be meticulously crafted to resonate with the audience and drive conversions. Doing that manually is prone to errors and need multiple reviews. That is where the AI SaaS products around website generation comes handy. These products often need users to build their website with 1-2 lines prompts and some information of target audience. WebWave with 600K users is a good example of a product in this space. WebWave started as a normal website builder and then started leveraging AI to help users build websites much faster. Dora is also another good product that leverages AI for website building. Additionally, Dora can also generated 3D themed sites, all with AI.
Micro SaaS for AI-Powered B2B sales assistant
In traditional B2B sales, reps spend a lot of time entering data, researching leads, and figuring out which ones to focus on. They also need to keep in touch with prospects and move them through the sales process smoothly. AI-powered B2B sales assistants help by doing a big part of this work automatically. These tools automate repetitive tasks, give insights into how leads are behaving, and even set up meetings without needing manual input from the sales team. This saves time and makes the sales process more efficient. These AI-powered assistants basically act as a helpful sidekick to sales reps, taking care of the nitty-gritty so they can focus on building relationships and closing deals. It's like having an extra set of hands to lighten the workload and boost productivity. Jason AI’s is a good example of such a product and it has an estimated annual revenue of $16.5M (including all products, not just AI themed products) . Jason AI is personal assistant powered by ChatGPT to set up outreach sequences, handle prospect responses, and book meetings.
Micro SaaS for AI Powered Personas
While ChatGPT and similar AI models helps users to some extent, they still lack a few requirement/features that AI powered assistants can do. AI-powered virtual assistants (or AI powered personas) are bots programmed to perform various tasks autonomously, leveraging artificial intelligence algorithms to understand and respond to user inputs. These assistants can handle a wide range of administrative and organizational duties, such as scheduling appointments, managing emails, and conducting research. AI-powered virtual assistants continuously learn and adapt based on user interactions, becoming increasingly efficient and effective over time. One good example is Olympia that automates this at scale. Olympia stands out from ChatGPT by offering a highly specialized AI virtual consultant team service that is meticulously designed to meet the unique needs of small businesses across various industries. Unlike ChatGPT, which operates as a general-purpose language model, Olympia’s AI solutions are fine-tuned to understand and address the specific challenges and requirements of its clients, ensuring a more personalized and effective service. Olympia has reached $6K MRR in 9 months after launching.
Dashboards and Automated Reports for Marketing Agencies
Marketing agencies typically require dashboards and automated reports that provide insights into key performance metrics across various marketing channels. These may include metrics related to website traffic, conversion rates, social media engagement, email marketing performance, and advertising ROI. They need customizable dashboards that allow them to track campaign performance in real-time and identify areas for optimization. Automated reports are also essential for streamlining client reporting processes, allowing agencies to generate professional-looking reports quickly and efficiently. These reports should be customizable to meet the specific needs of each client and provide actionable insights to drive informed decision-making and campaign success. AgencyAnalytics automated most part of this and reached $5 million in annual revenue. AgencyAnalytics is used by more than 6000 agencies across the world. Integrations plan a huge role in getting more customers in this space. Here are AgencyAnalytics supported integrations. Octoboard is another good example for automation of dashboards and reports for marketing agencies.
