1. -BUSINESS IDEA- **Redrawing All American Cities**.

This new business idea revolves around redesigning American cities by replacing all roads with golf cart tracks. The concept is based on the presenter's experience with a golf cart during a vacation. The presenter envisions a slower, more relaxed mode of transportation where people can cruise at around 11 miles per hour in golf carts, enjoying the surroundings and sipping on coffee or margaritas. This idea promotes a more leisurely pace of life and a greater appreciation for the environment.

2. -BUSINESS IDEA- **On-Demand Designated Driver Service**.

This idea stems from a discussion about Justin Timberlakes DUI arrest. The concept is a service where someone, perhaps a fan or clubgoer, would drive an intoxicated person home in their own car and then take an Uber back. This on-demand designated driver service would provide a safe and convenient alternative to driving under the influence, especially for celebrities or individuals with a high public profile who might be concerned about the consequences of a DUI.

3. -BUSINESS IDEA- **Consulting Firm for AI Model Deployment and Implementation**.

This business idea capitalizes on the growing need for businesses to understand and utilize AI models. The service would involve a small team of AI experts who charge high fees to consult with companies on how to effectively deploy and implement AI models in their operations. This idea emphasizes leveraging offshore talent in countries like Ukraine or India to provide cost-effective development support for multi-million dollar consulting engagements. The business model focuses on cash flow and profitability through high-value consulting services rather than solely relying on equity value growth.

4. -BUSINESS IDEA- **Open-Source AI Model Tools and Extensions**.

This business idea centers around developing and providing support tools and extensions for open-source AI models like LLaMA from Facebook. The concept involves fine-tuning existing open-source AI models and creating a suite of tools for specific industries or applications, such as audio and video processing, accounting, or other specialized fields. This approach leverages the power of open-source AI while offering value-added services and customization for businesses seeking to benefit from AI without building models from scratch.

\ -BUSINESS IDEA 1- Building internal tooling similar to Rippling.

[YouTube Link:

Many companies manage their businesses with data from many different sources and tools that dont always integrate well with each other. They try to fix this by manually exporting data and managing it with Excel spreadsheets, which is a tedious and inefficient way to run a company. Building internal tooling similar to Rippling, where all the companys tools are integrated into one platform, would solve this. It would increase the synchronicity between the companys tools and enable simulations and modeling between them.

-BUSINESS IDEA 2- Building a content management system where marketers need to code.

[YouTube Link:

A lot of companies use content management systems with pre-built templates where marketers can easily fill in their copy and images without writing any code. However, this can limit their creativity and flexibility. Building a content management system where marketers need to know how to code, using Git and other tools, could provide them with more control and a better understanding of how the system works. Although this would require marketers to learn how to code, it could ultimately lead to a more dynamic and personalized content experience for their audience.

BUSINESS IDEA-1. Providing tools that users will stick with.

Some people are open to tools that improve their workflow. If a product is good enough that after trying it a user can no longer go back to their old way of doing things, then it will be successful.

\ -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. AI-powered task management within Google Applications.

[YouTube Link:

The speaker envisions a future where an AI agent operates within Google's suite of applications, managing tasks and information on behalf of the user. This concept stems from the observation that Google already possesses a wealth of personal data through its various apps. By integrating AI capabilities into these apps, Google could provide users with a seamless and efficient way to handle their digital lives.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 2. On-device AI for enhanced mobile experiences.

[YouTube Link:

The speaker highlights the importance of on-device AI, particularly Google's Gemini Nano model. This approach emphasizes localized processing, which offers advantages like lower latency, reduced energy consumption, and enhanced privacy. By performing AI computations directly on the device, user data is not transmitted to the cloud, addressing privacy concerns and improving responsiveness.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 3. AI-powered home security and information retrieval.

[YouTube Link:

The speaker introduces a concept where AI is integrated into smart home systems, specifically mentioning Google's Nest products. This integration would enable users to retrieve information from past recordings captured by home security cameras. For example, a user could inquire about what transpired in their garden, and the AI would analyze the footage to provide a relevant answer.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 4. Jailbreaking voice-based AI assistant for creative uses.

[YouTube Link:

The speaker suggests the potential for jailbreaking Google's voice-based AI assistant, Gemini Live. Jailbreaking refers to modifying software to remove limitations imposed by the manufacturer. This action could allow users to explore unintended and innovative applications for the AI assistant, potentially leading to new functionalities and creative use cases.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 5. AI-augmented reality for photo editing and manipulation.

[YouTube Link:

The speaker discusses the \'Add me\' feature on Google's Pixel phone, which utilizes AI and augmented reality to seamlessly insert individuals into photos after they have been taken. This capability enables the creation of group photos even when all individuals were not physically present at the time of capture.
