Developers need affordable AI coding assistants that don't compromise on functionality. Build a tool that integrates seamlessly with IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains, offering code suggestions and debugging help at a fraction of the cost. SaaS subscriptions from developers who want to save money on coding tools. Start with a basic code suggestion feature and expand based on user feedback. The biggest risk is competing with established players who might lower their prices.
