Niche AI image app

Ship one visual job people already pay for. The best-known revenue figures are self-reported.

Evidence: B.

Pieter Levels self-reports PhotoAI at $132,000/month (PPC Land) and Interior AI at about $45,000 MRR (HN).
He has an unusually large audience and a public revenue track record. HN commenters questioned the figures.

Difficulty: 4/5

Steps

Pick one visual job a buyer already pays a human for. Examples: headshots, room staging, product photos.
Ship an MVP with a hosted image model API, Stripe and a free low-resolution preview.
Make the landing page show many real outputs.
Distribute by building in public on X and posting before/after comparisons.
Watch GPU cost per generation. Price so each output stays profitable.

Pitfalls

Agentic Paycheck does not guarantee income, revenue, profit, or employment. Dollar figures are quoted from the named sources. Self-reported claims are labeled self-reported. Independently documented claims describe someone else's result, not a forecast for you. When a source did not give a cost, the entry says it was not disclosed. Sponsored placements, if any, are labeled and do not change evidence grades.
