We are in 2025. Has every software opportunity for a business been addressed?
Basically, which industries that would benefit from software and automation, are yet to be realized?
If so, why is this the case? Is it regulatory? Or something else?
We have AI that can now show us pictures of how our hair would look if we had it cut/coloured/styled in a certain way, but getting hair dressers to actually embrace these technologies is a different story. I think they’re just resistent because the current apps that do this stuff are currently gimmicky, but if you could design some sort of software/program that leveraged that AI and collaborated with a Haircare product brand to market it to hairdressers it could be a cool way to start introducing more digital technologies into a very analogue industry.
If salons had some digital enhancements, AI could be used to help clients communicate more effectively to their hairdresser what it is they want and the hair dresser can also communicate back to their client what is realistically achievable. I just think it might be helpful for the consultation process.
apologies if this comment is super left field, I am super high
industries optimize and efficiency should reduce prices, which would allow the spawning of child companies that use industry knowledge to expand to different fields without the focus on making profits for the parent company and this could improve the evolution of civilization and save bunches of people from getting killed by skynet.
so basically, analyzing the potential of industries/companies based on their products and methods, which are mostly available or can be reconstructed via automated research.
in other words, software and automation that fucks the establishment and disrupts their grabby clandestine monopolistic bullshit before it happens.
help employed engineers and other humans to get the fuck away from their shitty employers to build better - TO BUILD BETTER. IT'S 2025, damn it.
