For an AI creative business design I would go in the direction of a graphic design firm. This would integrate the skills that I have using AI tools and services with my experience in design. Using AI the business would create several mock up designs based on a clients likes and needs, as a way of getting started. The AI itself doesn’t need to come up with the finished product because human designers could interfere and help make improvements or changes as needed from the perspective of a designer or based on a client. The firm would specialize in things like logos, perhaps mock up websites or even merchandise.
Graphic design has a lot of competition already as it is but I think that AI is a tool that can make this business bloom because of its rapidness. Really I think something essential to this business would be in prompt writing. People need to have the proper language and ability to describe what a client is looking for. Not only that but they should have some type of experience in design so they can make decisions to achieve the best results.
I think that the best way to start a project like this would be to gather a team of some sorts with experience in using AI tools and people in design. But in order to gather a team there would need to be some type of market to get the ball rolling. I’d say a good way to begin is by designing or redesigning logos/merch for small local companies and expanding marketing through social media. Reaching out to businesses and asking if they would be interested or even looking for sponsors. In order to do this there would need to be some type of market research on the efficiency of using AI tools in this aspect, what types of AI are optimal in this aspect but beginning by trying to budget carefully by working from home or in a small space would be best. I’d say to start this business it would definitely take some type of investment to pay off any licensing and fees for AI services.
