So you want to start a business, maybe a side hustle, but you’re not sure what’s worth doing in 2025?
You’re not alone.
Most advice out there is either vague (“start an online business!”) or recycled (“drop shipping!”). But here’s the good news: AI can help you find real, low-cost, low-stress business ideas—ones that fit your skills, interests, and time.
In this post, I’ll show you a simple ChatGPT prompt that spits out 10 solid AI-powered business ideas. These aren’t get-rich-quick schemes. They’re realistic ideas you can actually run, even if you’re solo and don’t code.
Let’s go.
🤖 Why Use AI to Brainstorm Business Ideas?
Because your brain is tired. And AI doesn’t sleep.
Seriously though—AI is good at combining trends, simplifying complex stuff, and thinking outside the box. With the right prompt, you can get ideas that:
- Don’t require a ton of money or tech skills
- Use tools you already have (like Notion, ChatGPT, or Canva)
- Are built around solving real problems—aka where the money is
🧠 Try This Prompt First
Pop this into ChatGPT:
“Act as a successful entrepreneur. Give me 10 AI-powered business ideas that need low startup cost, minimal tech skills, and can be started remotely in 2025.”
That’s it. No fluff. No fancy inputs. Just this.
Now let’s see what it gives us.

👀 Want Ideas That Fit You Better?
Tweak the original prompt like this:
- “Give me 10 AI business ideas for someone with no audience or followers.”
- “Focus on businesses I can run anonymously.”
- “Keep it under $100 to start.”
- “Only ideas I can run part-time, 10 hours/week max.”
The more specific your ask, the better the ideas you’ll get back.
✨ Pro Tips to Level Up the Results
Let’s make your prompt results even more useful:
- Ask Follow-Up Questions
Once you like an idea, try: “Give me a 3-month action plan to launch this.” - Request Monetization Ideas “How would this business make money? Be specific.”
- Use It as a Jumping-Off Point
Combine two ideas or use the AI’s response to start mapping out your MVP (minimum viable product). - Do a Reality Check
Google it. Check Reddit. Is anyone else doing it? Are people paying for it? If yes—good. That means there’s a market.
💸 What to Do After You Pick an Idea
Let’s say you choose the Notion template shop.
Here’s a quick game plan:
- Use ChatGPT to help brainstorm and write the templates
- Design them in Notion (or duplicate and tweak existing ones)
- Sell them on Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, Etsy, or your own site
- Promote on TikTok, Reddit, or Twitter using short content clips (also written by AI)
Boom. Business started. Keep iterating from there.
🔁 Bonus Prompt: Get a 90-Day Launch Plan
Once you’ve picked your favorite idea, run this:
“Create a 90-day roadmap to launch [insert business idea here]. Include weekly tasks, tools I should use, and low-cost marketing ideas.”
This gives you a clear starting point, broken into small, doable chunks.
🎯 Final Thoughts
The hardest part of starting a business isn’t building—it’s choosing.
Using prompts like these, you can skip the overwhelm and get straight to the action. Let AI take care of the brainstorming while you focus on testing, tweaking, and earning.
Start small. Keep it simple. And don’t overthink it—your first business doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to exist.
