Executive Summary

Creators and small businesses — roughly 1.5 million potential customers — struggle to produce consistent vertical short-form content like TikTok slideshows because turning images and assets into attention-grabbing videos, captions and hooks is time-consuming and requires repeated creative iteration. The result is inconsistent posting, inefficient spend on creators/ads, and lost organic reach for teams that can’t scale content production. You could build an AI-driven, set-and-forget slideshow creator that ingests images, brand guidelines and raw assets, automatically generates multiple vertical video variants with optimized captions/hashtags and schedules them to TikTok/Reels with A/B testing and simple analytics. Packaged as a SaaS with template libraries, brand-voice tuning and one-click scheduling, it targets a $3K ACV for creators/SMBs and can be turnkey for solo creators or small marketing teams. The market looks attractive now — a $4.5B opportunity (1.5M creators/SMBs × $3K ACV) fueled by rapid short-form video growth and accelerating adoption of AI-generated content, which aligns with your market score and revenue potential of 88/100. To stand out in a medium-competition field you’d need a clean end-to-end workflow focused specifically on slideshow-style short-form content, superior ML/prompt tuning for platform-native hooks, and rock-solid scheduling/API reliability; but expect real challenges around maintaining content quality for TikTok’s algorithm and navigating changing platform policies. If you can demonstrate clear engagement uplift and time savings, the recurring revenue economics make this idea worth pursuing, though it will require ongoing model and product iteration to remain defensible.
