Ask HN: Do Business Owners Know the Value of AI?
Been working hard on my SaaS that integrates ChatGPT with a custom rule set and knowledge base for specialized chatbots. It's already adding thousands in revenue for my existing clients across industries, yet I struggle to get any traction outside my network.
To be more specific, the platform allows you to create bots that can fully automate jobs like customer support, lead generation, appointment setting, education, and coaching. If a job can be done via text in a chat interface, my platform can probably replace it.
Case in point: I have a client who's spending $100/month on my SaaS and reaping an extra $3000/month in sales. But when I reach out to similar businesses, I'm met with crickets. Sent over 200 LinkedIn in-mails with a case study, and not a single bite.
I've even been discussing this issue with ChatGPT. Yeah, I know—talking to robots about why people don't talk to robots. Funny, but also exhausting. As much as I love tech, it's not going to give me the human insights I need.
So, here I am, in need of some real human input.So, what's the deal? Is it an issue of AI awareness? Or is the business world still skeptical of AI's ROI after so many empty promises? Your insights could really help me figure this out.
