the real AI money in this cycle isn't going to flashy consumer products, its going to the people quietly building for normal businesses

automation has always been around: zapier, n8n, airtable, etc
people built real businesses on this stuff for years before the AI cycle
the only thing different now is that AI fills the gaps where you used to need a human in the loop, which makes the same automation playbook a lot more powerful
while most are trying to build the next chat interface or AI wrapper, other people are charging real money to fix invoicing for medical supply distributors and routing leads for law firms (and other boring stuff)
and most of these people aren't even on X
you can make money literally just by going to local businesses, dominating one specific use case in a specific niche and selling the same thing to thousands of other business owners in that industry
