What it is

Repair-or-replace assistant for appliances and gadgets is an AI-agent business for repair shops and people who want to repair instead of replace. Concretely: Describe or photograph the problem with a washing machine, phone or vacuum and get the likely cause, a fix guide, the right spare part and whether repair is worth it.

Who pays & why

Who pays: repair shops and people who want to repair instead of replace. Why: the agent does, quickly and around the clock, work they would otherwise do by hand or pay a person for. Recommended price: affiliate commission from licensed operators (CPA or revenue share). You know it is working when you see: views per video, conversion rate. Main risk to manage: AI mistakes reaching customers, must not be presented as financial advice.

How it works

Customers find you through: YouTube tutorials, TikTok, SEO (Google search). They sign up on your website.
AI does the core work with: LLM API and Image generation.
Automatic quality checks run before delivery; anything unusual is sent to you for review.
Every week you check: views per video, conversion rate.

Concrete example

Example: a customer from the target group (repair shops and people who want to repair instead of replace) signs up. What they get from the first week: describe or photograph the problem with a washing machine, phone or vacuum and get the likely cause, a fix guide, the right spare part and whether repair is worth it. The customer pays affiliate commission from licensed operators (CPA or revenue share). On your side you spend about 2 h per week on: reviews a sample of AI outputs and corrects the prompts when quality drifts; validates the editorial line and approves sensitive content.

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.
SEO: Search engine optimisation: making your pages appear in Google results.

Existing competition Medium

How to stand out: New AI tools, mostly US; EU bonus and parts links are the angle.

How we estimate this

Start-up cost = idea price (€39) + one month of running costs while you build (€263). Monthly profit = low end of the revenue estimate (€2000) 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.
