9 hot AI based SaaS solving unique problems and 5 predictions
Over the past 3 months I’ve seen 1000+ AI/chatGPT based products and most of them are automating writing (emails, copywriting, blogs, transcripts, tweets, essays, summaries, reviews, outreach messages, resume, cover letter, academic papers and so on).
But there are some that are differentiating themselves by picking other niches. I’ve listed the products that are solving non-writing use cases using AI and meet one or more of the 5 predictions on future of SaaS.
I’ve used 5 predictions from gregisenberg's list (link below) that also match the patterns I’ve seen in SaaS business models while building Microsaasdb.

5 predictions that will particularly affect AI -SaaS products (IMO)-
Superniche is the new niche- saas that can do one thing very efficiently (sometimes even better than human)
10x more automated -time to solve the problem comes down by 10x
Localized products- product that’ll solve problems not just for an occupational niche, but also for a geographical region (by personalizing language, culture, lifestyle, climate etc.)
Multiple revenue streams- products that’ll easily work with services/ other products (for special B2B needs) to deliver value and can thus generate additional revenue streams
Feels like a game- gamification is quickly becoming part and parcel of so many products (levels, status, badges, in-app currency, challenges, collectibles/items) especially for onboarding customers
