Just do it.
Personally I don't think just do it is always the correct response. Time is finite so making the right decisions is paramount, that being said I do partly agree because indecision is a decision.

Personally when it comes to this kind of addon Its really down to, are you creating enough value to warrant somebody spending that monthly on an addon? And how do you plan to market your addon? It's well and good designing it but what is your method to get it to market?

I'm absolutely not putting a downer on your idea, I'm just playing devils advocate which I assume what you wanted when you posted this message.

And you'll only get these answers when you do it.

check out this thread, it'll definitely help you.

Goodluck.

A simple google shows this exists, can you do it better and/or can it generate revenue?

I'd say no, there's better ideas out there.

I want to make a Google Chrome Extension that creates a TLDR summary for whatever web page you are currently using. What do you think?
Think about audience. Who’s it for? This seems like a feature of some other thing that together could make it easier for students.

Help solve valuable problems for people. Imagine if you had some software that would combine multiple valuable things together to make things easier for a specific group. That would be worth $20-$40 a month if I was a a student even when I was broke.

And I’d tell all my friends about it. “Yeah bro I use schoolsucks.io and it helps me never have to do homework. I upload my homework questions and then type in the book I’m supposed to use and it scans the text and uses AI to answer the context questions at the end of the chapter. It also summarizes text for essays. And it does X,Y and Z too. Best thing ever only $30 a month!” Then you’d have 10,000 users right away. Think about what your target audience would truly desire and then build it and get the word out. Vertical video posts on social media using it and showing exactly how it would save people time. “If you’re a student you need to use this software” type stuff.

Just an example for one group. Maybe you want to help authors. Maybe you want to help people with office jobs. But think about your audience first and put yourself in their shoes, it’s easier if you are solving your own problems since your problems are likely not unique.

I like solving problems that other people would have a problem with solving. A bunch of people wouldn’t help create stuff for students to do less work. But I hated school. I’d build it in a heartbeat. I’d also build a reverse Yelp database that syncs with crms to flag bad clients and customers so local businesses could unify and not provide services to problem customers and avoid them like the plague. Imagine if every Karen in your city got blacklisted and their number, IP address and data would get flagged in a crm so every local business would auto reject their inquiries and block calls.

Thank you. Do you think I would need to hire a developer to build this extension or could AI do it for me?

No, use your competitive advantages. You don’t have any tech experience? Then why do that as your first business and have to spend thousands before getting any sales or interest? Bad idea

Thank you. The only fields I have experience in are low level jobs like cleaning and food delivery.

This is a big waste of time for multiple reasons:
1) Bing has it already
2) Google will most probably have it soon (if they did not have it already things change daily in that space)
3) It is way too easy to make
As I keep saying again and again, people need to create AI apps for more niche scenarios eg for CRM or Finance software integrations. This is where you have a fighting chance.

Don't be discouraged.

I'm new here so this may have been said a million times before but you don't necessarily need a new idea to make good money. It really depends what your goals are, are you trying to be the next Zuckerberg or do you want financial freedom? I'm going to be biased because it's what I do but you could simply sell 'things' online to people.

The whole worlds at our fingertips through a laptop or PC. You can use software to analyse keyword search volume (need) then find a product to sell and just do it! Best way to get started in my opinion but as I said I'm biased. Personally I would stay away from drop shipping or anything like that.
