Hardware and specialized Android appliances (Android TV / Google TV / Digital Signage).
A lot of focus is currently on browser-based LLM wrappers, but there is huge untouched ground in headless device management, local orchestration, and edge utility tools for living-room/kiosk hardware.
For instance, managing TV boxes, local ADB orchestration, clean custom launcher provisioning, and lightweight local automation on constrained living-room devices without relying on bloatware or invasive accessibility hacks. Building tools that solve practical, physical-device problems will always have solid utility.

in your own life, ask yourself, what do I need? what could make my life, or the lives of those I love, better?

The issue is that I just turn to ChatGPT, Muse, or some other AI app and it just does it for me.
Most of my issues, such as keeping a running task list, managing my groceries list or pantry inventory, and even fun/leisure things are handled by these apps.

Look deeper. Or more niche/esoteric
If you ask the machine you will get the median answer and do what everyone else is doing.

Assuming you are thinking to build something that would make money - whatever you build someone will clone it with AI shortly thereafter. without a serious moat (which is insanely hard to get) I don’t think there is much to build anymore. “Good” thing is that nowadays you can build things fast and fail/succeed fast unlike “before” where building something took serious time
