OpenAI has shared fascinating insights into how people are using ChatGPT, and the data shows some clear opportunities for new app ideas.
Based on the numbers, Gadinsider has got you what apps you could start building today:
Everyday “how-to” app
Almost 29% of ChatGPT consumers actively seek practical advice, like "how to tie a tie", "how to fix my Wi-Fi router", or "how to prepare a protein-rich meal", and anything in between.
You could create an app that's simply an app that will give step-by-step, short video demonstrations and optional voice support for common tasks.
Simple AI encyclopaedia for kids
About 24% of users globally use ChatGPT to ask questions. How about designing an app exclusively for kids to safely ask questions such as, "Why is the sky blue?" or "How do bees make honey?"
The app would deliver simple, easy-to-understand, and age-appropriate answers while promoting curiosity and learning.
Writing and fact-checking extension
Writing is another major use case, accounting for 24% of all ChatGPT prompts. A simple browser extension could automatically fact-check articles, blog posts, and research papers in real-time.
The extension could silently flag suspicious claims and suggest reputable sources while giving writers, journalists, and researchers peace of mind that their writing is well-founded.
AI-powered journaling app
Even though journaling only captures 1.9% of all ChatGPT prompts and questions related to relationships and self-reflection, there is enormous untapped potential here.
An AI journaling application could analyse their writing style and identify emotional.
