Few insights 

1. There are no shortcuts in the primary research wrt industry analysis and competitor mapping. That is the best possible way to gauge gaps.

2. Identify your Target Group. Ensure and validate their needs/ paying capacity and intent for the same.

3. Never assume! Create Business Model Canvas and work/ rework with validations on assumptions.

4. AI in the idea has to generate value. Focus on usability and customer impact- technology alone isn't enough; your product/ service has to drive P&L. 

5. Have a rightly aligned mentor(Subject and business specialist) on board.
