Hi, everyone!
My name is Mary, I’m a translator turned tour guide turned part-time admin for a small start-up, new technology fascinates me b/c despite its dangers and drawbacks, it CAN solve the pains that can’t always be solved by the human staff.
Have I built an AI Agent in 5 minutes? Sorry, Dimitry, I have failed you…
Do I have a killer niche idea? Hell yes!
Context: Santorini’s number-one pain is the running costs of a luxury business. Hotel, tour operator, you name it, NOBODY can or wants to hire a secretary. Problem? Reputation damage due to missed emails and poor communication, where people actively STRUGGLE to confirm their bookings! in 2025!
So after yesterday’s call, I feel like pitching this here.
Idea: Build a customizable vitual receptionist/asssistant specifically for this market, ready to ingregrate with the business and solve this problem.
My side: local insight, knocking on doors, pitching, marketing/sales/storytelling (if a tour guide can’t BS over here, you’re thrown off the caldera. true story)
Your side: throwing this together from the technical side - choosing the right stack.
We will collab and test it together and figure out the pricing and business model along the way. But please no big agencies - I’m looking to put together a superhero team, not get steamrolled over))
(Yes, I have asked ChatGPT, I did take Prompt Engineering courses super recently and it’s great for the initial brainstorm. I’ve got those files ready:))
This idea is definitely adoptable to third-world countries (which Greece very much is, it’s the 90s here with the donkeys), not so much burning potential next door to your Doordashes and Ubers. So make sure you enjoy such low tech challenges, because they’re coming for you first.
Thanks for your time!
