THIS WEEK'S AI IDEAS 💡
The Allergy Menu Card
More than 33 million people in the U.S. live with food allergies, about 1 in 10 adults, according to FARE (Food Allergy Research and Education). Ask any of them how they choose a café and you hear the same answer: they go where the menu tells them what is in the food.
The AI 80%: The owner sends the menu and the ingredients in each dish. AI builds a simple chart showing which dishes contain the nine major allergens, from peanuts and milk to sesame, and drafts a small table card telling guests to ask the staff about anything not listed.
Start with this prompt: “Here is my café menu and the ingredients in each dish. Make a table with every dish down the side and these allergens across the top: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame. Mark each one Yes or No based only on the ingredients I gave you, and flag any dish you are not sure about. Then write a friendly one line note for the bottom of the menu and a small card that tells guests what to do if they have an allergy.”
The pricing: Around $150 to build the chart and table card for a café or food truck menu, then $50 each time the menu changes. Ten local spots that update twice a year could keep you busy without leaving the kitchen table.
YOUR 20% 🎯
1. Get every ingredient. Sauces, dressings, and the fryer oil hide most allergens, so ask the cook, not just the menu.
2. Have the owner sign off. You build the chart, the owner checks it against their recipes and approves it before it goes on a table.
3. Update with the menu. Ask to hear about every new dish or new supplier, because an old chart is worse than no chart.
Total time: About 2 hours per menu, then 30 minutes per update.

Service Money: The Picture Describer
Pictures with no written description turn up on 53% of home pages, according to WebAIM’s 2026 study of the top one million websites. That description, called alt text, is what a screen reader says out loud to a blind visitor, and it also tells search engines what a photo shows.
The AI 80%: The owner shares their website, and AI looks at each photo and writes a short, plain description, like “Owner smiling behind the counter with a tray of fresh croissants,” plus a clear file name for each image.
Start with this prompt: “Here are the photos from my small [type of business] website and the page each one sits on. For each photo, write a description under 125 characters that tells someone who cannot see it what matters in the picture. Do not start with “image of” or “picture of”. If a photo is only decoration, say so. Then suggest a simple file name for each one.”
The pricing: Around $150 to describe every image on a small website with up to 50 photos, then $40 a month to cover new photos as they go up. Most owners have never heard of alt text until you show them the blanks on their own site.
YOUR 20% 🎯
1. Show the gap. Run their home page through WebAIM’s WAVE checker and send the owner a screenshot of the missing descriptions.
2. Read every line. Fix anything AI guessed wrong, like the wrong dog breed or a person’s name it could not know.
3. Do the typing. Most site builders have a box for each photo description, so paste them in yourself and the owner does nothing.
Total time: About 3 hours per site, then about 20 minutes a month.

Shelf Money: The Lunchbox Notes Shop
Plenty of parents love the idea of a little note in the lunchbox. Far fewer have the energy at 7am to think of a joke, a fun fact, or a kind word. A printable pack of ready made notes covers the whole school year, and it never goes out of season.
The AI 80%: AI writes the jokes, fun facts, riddles, and little pep talks, sorted by age, plus the listing text.
Start with this prompt: “Write 50 short lunchbox notes for kids aged 6 to 9: 20 clean jokes, 15 fun facts about animals and space, and 15 encouraging notes for a hard day. Keep each under 20 words and easy for a first grader to read. Then write a 150 word Etsy listing description and 13 tags.” You lay them out in Canva as small cards, eight to a page, and save them as a PDF.
The math: ArtsyPrintableStore has passed 28,000 sales on Etsy in four years with kids printables like lunchbox notes, routine cards, and activity packs, and holds a 4.9 rating from about 2,600 reviews.
YOUR 20% 🎯
1. Test every joke. Read them to a kid. If they groan and grin, it stays. If they look confused, it goes.
2. Pick a theme. Animal facts, space facts, or picture notes for kids who cannot read yet each find their own parents.
3. Leave room for a name. Parents like adding a name or a heart themselves, so keep a small blank line on every card.
Total time: About 3 hours per pack, then about 1 hour a week.

The Shortcut: One Prompt, Your Five Question Customer Survey
Only about one in ten Americans nearly always post their own online reviews, according to Pew Research Center. So most customers leave without telling you what they loved or what almost kept them from coming back. A short survey asks them.
The AI 80%: One paste writes the whole survey, plus the note that asks people to fill it in.
Save this prompt: “I run a small [type of business]. Write a customer survey with exactly five questions that takes under two minutes to answer: why they first came to me, what they like most, what almost stopped them, what they wish I offered, and one open question for anything else. Then write a friendly two sentence message I can text or email to ask my regular customers to answer it.”
The math: About 15 minutes once in Google Forms, and every answer is a clue about what to keep doing and what to fix.
YOUR 20% 🎯
1. Send it to regulars. People who come back often are the most honest and the most likely to answer.
2. Read for patterns. One complaint is a bad day. The same complaint three times is a project.
3. Reply to a few. A short thank you to the people who wrote the most turns a survey into a conversation.
Total time: About 15 minutes to set up, then about 30 minutes to read the answers.

THE 2AM IDEA 🌙

Leftover Night Chef. For $2, the parent standing in front of an open fridge at 6pm snaps a photo of whatever is in there, half a roast chicken, three eggs, one lonely pepper, and gets back a dinner they can make in 20 minutes with what they already have. 🍳
Why it might actually work: Everyone has stood in that fridge light hoping a meal would appear. Two dollars to skip the takeout app and use up the leftovers is an easy yes, and the question comes back every single night.
The AI 80%: AI looks at the photo, lists what it sees, picks one dish that uses as much of it as possible, and writes five short steps a tired person can follow, with a swap if one ingredient is missing.
YOUR 20% 🎯
1. Ask what is off limits. Allergies, picky eaters, and the one kid who will not touch anything green.
2. Keep it to five steps. Nobody wants a project at 6pm, so any recipe longer than five steps gets cut.
3. Offer the week plan. A Sunday photo of the fridge that turns into five dinners is the version people come back for.
Total time: About 5 minutes per photo.
