Users want personal assistants but are wary of cloud-based solutions due to privacy concerns.
Build an open-source, self-hostable personal assistant that users can customize for their workflows. Include basic features like reminders, task management, and integrations.
Users pay for premium plugins or support, while developers can contribute to the open-source project.
The MVP could focus on basic task management and reminders, expanding to integrations later.
The biggest risk is competing with free, cloud-based alternatives.
