I'd pay a few $ for something that can get the number of an incoming call and tell me who it probably is using AI. I currently do that manually and I think AI could at least achieve accuracy comparable to a human. Not sure if it's possible though, given iOS permissions.

I asked about it yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38977688

My partner just watched a video, and a part I overheard was that in order to make your first million, you should stop thinking about money, and start thinking about problems. And more than just thinking about problems, think about solutions. Do this continually until you find a sellable solution you can lead.

So you might be well on your way to your first million right now.

Taking a photo of every single receipt, waiting for image-to-text to fail and fixing+cataloguing it manually.

No app does this right.

The hassle of signing up and canceling these streaming services just to watch a few shows.

These AI-based translator gadgets caught my attention, but as I read through the reviews it seems like latency makes it borderline unusable.
