Jennifer Kerum tried to build her own client intake platform with no technical background. Her verdict, and the six checks to run before you start.
Construction
Construction AI markets generation speed. Nobody reports how much output survives engineer review unchanged, and that is the figure buyers need.
Health & wellness
Dr. Nikki Siso built a fifteen-skill AI assessment in Claude, then had to hire a developer. The gap is deployment, not intelligence.
Restaurants
Dr. Nikki Siso named four AI products she wants built for restaurants: menu compatibility, permitting, print-ready labels and recipe costing.
M&A advisory
The definition, eight requirements from an M&A broker who prompts every step by hand, and why horizontal social tools miss her buyer profile entirely.
Public relations
Monitoring platforms know the news, not your clients. The comms product request Sam Polstein described, the nine requirements, and the gap for builders.
Hospitality
Yes, but only as a recording. Threshold 360, CloudPano and EXP360 compared for luxury travel previews, and what none of them can do yet.
Yacht charter
Every AI knowledge product assumes the knowledge is already written down. In expert businesses it exists as an impression, and then it is gone.
Construction
Five funded products generate floor plans and electrical systems from a prompt. What each one covers, and how to evaluate them before you buy.
Health & wellness
Coval, Hamming AI, Cekura, Maxim AI and LangWatch are built for engineers. The operator who needed testing most improvised it with a prompt.
Restaurants
An operator's product request in one line. AI answered the label question she asked and never told her the file needed bleed to reach a printer.
M&A advisory
Retell AI, Synthflow AI, Goodcall, Rosie and Slang AI, judged against the requirement that stopped one M&A firm from deploying: latency.
