What it is

AI supplier review for purchasing teams is an AI-agent business for operations managers in growing companies. Concretely: checks the AI tools a company wants to buy (data use, training on customer data, hosting, AI Act status) and gives a one-page go or no-go report.

Who pays & why

Who pays: operations managers in growing companies. Why: the agent does, quickly and around the clock, work they would otherwise do by hand or pay a person for. Recommended price: €199/month. You know it is working when you see: paying clients, monthly retention. Main risk to manage: AI mistakes reaching customers, must not be presented as financial advice.

How it works

Customers find you through: LinkedIn, partnerships with agencies, personalised cold email. They sign up on your website.
The agent collects its inputs automatically using: Web scraping.
AI does the core work with: LLM API.
Automatic quality checks run before delivery; anything unusual is sent to you for review.
Every week you check: paying clients, monthly retention.

Concrete example

Example: a customer from the target group (operations managers in growing companies) signs up. What they get from the first week: checks the AI tools a company wants to buy (data use, training on customer data, hosting, AI Act status) and gives a one-page go or no-go report. The customer pays €199/month. On your side you spend about 3 h per week on: checks legal and regulatory points and signs off risky decisions; fixes broken data sources or API changes.

Glossary (3)

LLM: Large language model: an AI like ChatGPT, Claude or Grok that reads and writes text.
API: A connection that lets two software tools talk to each other automatically.
Scraping: Automatically collecting public information from websites.

📊 Key metrics

Revenue potential: Medium (est. €800–2500/month)Running costs (tools & APIs): €40–475/monthAutomation difficulty: 3/5 ModerateHuman time: 3 h/weekIntegration Requirements: 3Setup time: ~41 h (≈5 weeks part-time)Estimated payback (return on investment): ~5 months

How we estimate this

Start-up cost = idea price (€39) + one month of running costs while you build (€258). Monthly profit = low end of the revenue estimate (€800) minus average running costs. We assume 2 months of ramp-up at half revenue and add your setup time. Your own working hours are not counted. It is an estimate, not a promise.

⚙️ Automation difficulty: 3/5 – Moderate

Why this automation score

Score 3: several moving parts (data collection, AI output, delivery) need testing and monitoring.
Easy to automate: LLM API and Database.
Harder to automate (needs set-up and monitoring): Web scraping.
Still needs a human: checks legal and regulatory points and signs off risky decisions; fixes broken data sources or API changes — about 3 h per week.

Automation scale (1–5)

1 – Very easy: no-code tools, a few hours to set up.
2 – Easy: standard tools, a few days, little monitoring.
3 – Moderate: several integrations, 1–3 weeks, regular checks.
4 – Hard: complex data or sensitive output, a coding agent or developer recommended.
5 – Very hard: advanced engineering, strict quality and compliance control.
