New businesses of AI era

People often discuss how AI will replace jobs while creating new ones—but what exactly are these new roles, beyond highly specialized positions like AI engineering? Instead of focusing solely on jobs, we should consider the broader business opportunities AI could bring. Here are a few odd ideas that came to mind:

1. Brain Gym

Why do people go to the gym today? To stay healthy and strong. With industrialization and modern technology, our daily routines no longer provide enough physical activity compared to the past, when hunting, foraging, and farming kept us naturally fit. Now, we dedicate extra time and resources to maintain our physical health.

In the AI era, I believe our brains will face a similar challenge. As automation handles more cognitive tasks, we’ll need dedicated "workouts" to keep our minds sharp. Enter the Brain Gym—a brilliant business model with low overhead (no physical space or equipment needed), easy scalability, and a steady revenue stream from subscriptions or sessions.

2. Personal Resource Planning Software

Businesses use ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software to optimize operations. Why shouldn’t individuals have the same advantage? A Personal Resource Planning (PRP©) system could help people manage their time, finances, and goals more efficiently.

Since everyone has unique needs, customization is key—but hiring consultants isn’t feasible for most. AI could bridge this gap, offering affordable, tailored solutions that adapt to individual lifestyles.

3. Software Service Centers

This isn’t about the offshore IT hubs corporations use. Think of it like the evolution of the auto industry:

In the 1980s, a driver in China wasn’t just about operating the vehicle—it required basic mechanical knowledge for maintenance and repairs. Today, most drivers leave that to professionals.

Similarly, as AI democratizes software development, more people will create apps and tools without deep coding expertise. This will fuel demand for Software Service Centers—places where professionals handle updates, bug fixes, and optimizations, just like mechanics do for cars. Not everyone wants (or knows how) to "change the engine oil" of their software.
