Executive Summary

Solo founders and teams of 1–10 routinely lose action items across email, chat and meeting notes and end up juggling multiple heavyweight tools that don't match their simple end‑to‑end workflows, creating real time and revenue drag for roughly 60M small businesses. This friction is especially acute for micro agencies and solopreneurs who can't justify enterprise suites or complex setup. You could build an inbox‑first, lightweight task manager that uses LLM-based task extraction to convert emails, chats and notes into one‑click tasks and compact AI workflows, with templates, calendar sync and simple automations; target an ACV around $200 so value is clear in days. Prioritize a minimal UI, privacy/offline options and plug‑and‑play connectors to popular inboxes to keep adoption low‑friction for tiny teams. The timing is strong: a $12B addressable market driven by reliable AI task extraction, tool‑consolidation fatigue and a growth in solopreneurs and micro‑agencies — market score 88/100 and revenue potential 80/100 indicate attractive demand. To compete, focus ruthlessly on an inbox‑first UX, demonstrable AI accuracy and privacy controls tailored to 1–10 person teams and simple pricing around $200 ACV; build distribution through SMB channels and templates for common micro‑business workflows. Be honest about challenges: competition is high, acquisition costs and integration trust are real hurdles, so early retention and clear ROI proofs are essential.
