The Problem

Businesses know they need AI but lack imagination about what's possible and don't know how to implement solutions. It's an imagination problem, not capability problem.

The Solution

Upwork/Fiverr for highly skilled AI practitioners where businesses post problems and AI experts propose and implement solutions, with case study sharing to inspire other businesses.

Why Now?

AI tools are proliferating rapidly, many AI enthusiasts have skills but no business application, and businesses are struggling to keep up with AI possibilities.
