AI in Unexpected Places.

I've been exploring how AI shows up in places most people aren’t looking.
Not just in content or code — but in things like:
Electricity trading
Crop insurance for small farms
Predicting demand in informal markets
Dynamic menus for street food vendors
Matching unused warehouse space to last-mile delivery startups
It’s not about the tech.
It’s about seeing new levers for decision-making, pricing, matching, forecasting — in the weird, the local, the overlooked.
If you're a founder or solopreneur, here's how to explore this:
Zoom in on friction — what still relies on gut feel, spreadsheets, or WhatsApp?
Ask: “What would become possible if this had better data or smarter predictions?”
Don’t try to build AI — try to think with it.
This is where the most interesting AI plays will happen — in places no one’s watching.
