Mobile Apps Micro-Niches

The bakery owner just heard about AI at a Chamber of Commerce breakfast. She doesn't need a dissertation on large language models — she needs someone to automate the three hours a day she spends on Instagram captions, customer email replies, and manually entering online orders into her POS. AGI for small businesses isn't about replacing workers. It's about giving the solo operator their evenings back. Build the vertical-specific AI assistant layer: pre-trained on small business workflows, integrated with Square, Shopify, QuickBooks, and Gmail. One setup call, then it runs. The SMB software market is 30B. The gap isn't features — it's the 20 million US small business owners who haven't touched a single AI tool because nothing speaks their language. First mover who explains it in plain English and actually integrates it wins the category.
