A legealease to English translator for end user licensing agreements. I have uploaded a few to various ais and asked for summaries of the salient legal points, but they can’t extract “this gives ownership of your IP to the publisher if you agree” as an example. But this seems like a really easy task for some of them. Also, this seems like you could sell it. I am really surprised no one has this yet.
A “dating app that hasn’t been enshittified” publishing ap. Not the dating app, an app publishing app. Just using dating apps as the topic to start. Basically, all dating apps are owned by two companies, and any new ones get bought up. These two firms modify all the apps to work in a way that prevents dating success, and upsells premium products that actually reduce effectiveness (for example, paying for super messages and premium status causes women to respond less often to messages according to their own statistics). Therefore, an app that takes the original version of E-harmony or match or whatever, makes small changes, creates new branding and publishes it. Then periodically does it again, and again. As fast as the monopolies buy them this app makes and releases new ones. So there are always, un-enshittified dating apps available. Honestly, I see this as much as an experiment to see how the match group would respond to such a threat to its business model. But also an app publishing app is a step towards a fully automated economy, and i think this particular step is achievable. Which is why i am surprised we don’t have an app publishing app. That i know of.
More training tools. Any really. For every “ai teaches you how to do this yourself”, I see at least two orders of magnitude more “AI does this for you” apps. We need more teach to fish, not give fish apps. And in line with the prior, a “teach people to interact IRL” app would be a great start. There are a ton of ai girlfriend apps, Xiaoice is junk and it has over 600 million users. Make one that generates dozens of ai personas has you interact with them and does NOT have them always be positive, instead they behave realistically based on your behavior. Write targeted lessons to guide you through your own worst social faux pas, and give you simulated practice in many different situations. Again, seems like the sort of thing there should be a lot more of.
“Turn navigation instructions to sonification” app. Instead of the gps voice saying “turn right” or “continue for 1 mile” have an app that takes the data for that and generates times. Turn your head the wrong way the tone indicates this. This is very critical for blind navigation, and for people who don’t speak the language the gps is in, etc,. It also can be far less confusing in many situations. There’s a few apps that do this for specific circumstances, but one that simply takes gps input and outputs directional tones and adapts real time to your movement should be within existing capabilities. I saw a proof of concept for this using Meta AI glasses, but it doesn’t seem to exist for real, might have only been vaporware. Very surprising.
App that lets you upload pictures, news articles, videos, and tell stories about a dead relative then makes an avatar of them. Yes you can do this manually right now, (Peter Diamandis made a pretty amazing avatar of himself) but that takes a lot of skill. An app that automates it should be within current capabilities. I’m honestly surprised that a company like ancestry.com doesn’t already have this as a paid service.
Google translate has a camera mode that applies translation in real time to anything you look at. What about an AI math app that looks at store prices and converts everything to a standard price per unit display in real time? Again, why doesn’t this already exist? Should be simple, seems high demand.
When the Meta AI glasses first came out, students quickly pieces together an app that real-time doxxed everyone you looked at. That’s obviously not legal, and they never released it, for that reason. However, a corporate app that identifies everyone in the company address book and links to Salesforce (or equivalent) to identify all your customers. Or one that goes into your contacts and reminds you of the name of the person who just walked up to you at a party. This has to be do able, because two students did that stronger version in one or two days.
It was more than that, but that was involved. They also ran social media searches, reverse image searches etc. Their demo showed full names, addresses, schools they attended, and list of relatives in real time.

I have a lot more, but they’re much more niche.
I believe this was just a call to PimEyes.
