Everyone wants an easy life. Then they decide to become a software engineer. Then AI shows up. Now you're learning: - Programming - AI - Agents - APIs - Cloud - Databases - Security - Business - Communication And somehow... you still enjoy it. The good news? The hard path usually has the fewest competitors. Question: What's been the hardest thing for you to learn as a software or AI engineer? 👇

Most businesses think choosing the right AI model is the hardest part. It isn't. The real challenge is understanding the business workflow. Before building any AI software, AI agent, or workflow automation, we map how the business actually works. - How work starts. - How information moves. - Where delays happen. - Where manual work repeats. Because AI automation can't fix a broken process. It only automates it. At Greatodeal, we build AI solutions, AI SaaS, AI agents, and business automation systems by solving real business problems first. Question: What's one repetitive task in your business that you'd automate with AI? 👇 Comment below.

Yesterday, I shared the story of a UK lawyer who contacted us to build an AI platform for lawyers. Most people would start by choosing an AI model. We didn't. We started by asking one simple question: What is wasting a lawyer's time every single day? After studying the legal workflow, we identified 8 real operational problems: - Reading huge case files before hearings. - Connecting emails, evidence, notes, and documents. - Searching hundreds of pages for one key detail. - Finding contradictions across legal documents. - Rewriting the same documents repeatedly. - Dealing with AI tools that can't always be trusted. - Managing files spread across different systems. - Spending too much time on repetitive work instead of strategy and clients. This reminded us of something important. Great AI products don't begin with AI. They begin with understanding how people work. First, understand the workflow. Then remove the friction. Only then should AI become part of the solution. That's how we build products at Greatodeal. Now I'm curious... If you run a business, what's the one repetitive task your team does every week that you wish AI could take over? Share it in the comments. You never know—it might become the next product we build together.

Last night, I had a conversation with a UK lawyer who wanted to build an AI SaaS for the legal industry. Instead of jumping into development, we did something different. We started by understanding the workflow. After researching the industry and validating ideas, we identified 8 major pain points that lawyers face every day. That changed our entire approach. Instead of asking: "Which AI model should we use?" We started asking: "Which problem is painful enough that people would happily pay to solve?" That's the product discovery process we're following at Greatodeal. I'd love feedback from people building AI products. How do you validate pain points before building an AI SaaS?
