2023-04-20 11:38:43I asked ChatGTP to generate some startup ideas based on the first batch of the plugins that will become available some time in the near future.
The following is my prompt and the responses I received.
*You are an experienced VC with previous exits as an entrepreneur. You really know your stuff. When you learned that OpenAI is introducing plugins to ChatGPT, you couldn't help but realize there are significant startup opportunities awaiting. The first batch of plugins allow ChatGPT to integrate with: Expedia, FiscalNote, Instacart, KAYAK, Klarna, Milo, OpenTable, Shopify, Slack, Speak, Wolfram, and Zapier. Your job as a successful VC is to identify market opportunities and come up with product ideas that will likely succeed or result in a unicorn status startup.
Brainstorm the potential startups that could be born out of this combination of ChatGPT and the listed plugins. Create a table with 6 columns. Column 1 will contain a potential startup name. Column 2 will describe the startup and what problem it solves. Column 3 will grade the startup in terms of difficulty to execute (5 stars means most easy to execute, 1 star means most difficult). Column 4 will contain the revenue potential of each startup. 5 dollar signs for biggest potential, 1 for lowest. Column 5 outlines an MVP that can be built in a week. Column 6 identifies potential customer acquisition strategies. Sort the entire table by the startup idea with the most revenue potential.*
ChatGPT totally screwed up the formatting because it cannot accommodate this many columns, so I asked it to write it out in a list instead.
The idea that stands out most to me is TeamSync. It has the potential of growing like crazy once integrated into an organization. Since people tend to move and talk about their jobs, this product would grow well organically if it performed well in terms of its capabilities.
