What are the most profitable 'Blue Ocean' business ideas for AI Agents entering 2024?

All answers to this question.

The real money is in "Inter-Software Orchestration." Most companies have 50+ SaaS tools that don't talk to each other. An agent that can act as a "Glue" layer—e.g., seeing a support ticket in Zendesk, checking the inventory in SAP, and then issuing a refund in Stripe without a human—is worth thousands to an enterprise. Another "Blue Ocean" is "Local Government Compliance Agents." Small businesses are buried in local regulations; an agent that monitors city council updates and notifies business owners of relevant changes is a high-value, low-churn subscription model.

Do you think there’s more potential in "Vertical AI" for specific industries like Construction or Healthcare, or in "Horizontal" tools that any office can use?

• Douglas, "Vertical" is the way to go for small teams. Horizontal tools like "AI Meeting Notes" are being commoditized by Zoom and Microsoft. If you build a "HVAC Load Calculation Agent" or a "Medical Coding Audit Agent," you have zero competition from the tech giants. You can charge a premium because you're solving a specific, expensive problem for a niche audience that has a high willingness to pay.

"AI Agents for E-commerce Personalization" is booming. Agents that can dynamically change the website layout based on a user's real-time browsing intent are seeing huge ROIs.

• That’s a great shout, Melissa. Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is one of the few things businesses will always throw money at, even in a down economy.
