$2-5k/Month Problems You Can Solve In A Weekend

AI consultant Niravenin writes about an opportunity they keep seeing from clients

The real time sinks are always the same boring stuff.

Manually copying data between spreadsheets. Sending the same follow-up emails over and over. Pulling reports from 3 different tools every Friday.

Every client comes in wanting a chatbot. What they actually need is 3 simple automated workflows running on a schedule.

Result? Clients save 10+ hours a week. No fancy AI interface – just background agents doing repetitive tasks.

The technical build is 20% of the job. The other 80% is understanding the business well enough to know what to automate first.

Another consultant with 10 years experience agrees

Sounds like all my clients as well.

Bad processes and messy data are their issues.

One commenter puts numbers on it 👇

Boring problems + AI solutions = high margins and low competition.

The dentist doesnt care about transformer architecture, they care about fewer no-shows. Thats a $2-5k/month problem you can solve in a weekend.

Another commenter claims they made half a year’s salary from a single 4-hour implementation 🤯

The thread has multiple experienced consultants all confirming the same thing.

The trick to getting started?

Don’t ask business owners what they want automated. Ask them to walk you through what they did yesterday, step by step. The automation targets reveal themselves 😎
