The problem
Small businesses waste hours copying data between tools, chasing clients or sorting emails, with no budget for a full-time developer.
The solution
An audit of repetitive tasks, then no-code automations and AI assistants connected to their existing tools, with monthly maintenance.
Your customers
Businesses with 5 to 50 staff: practices, agencies, distributors, training providers, online sellers.
How you make money
€1,500 to €6,000 per automation project, then €150 to €400 per month for maintenance.
Competition
Freelancers on marketplaces, IT service firms, software integrators and vendors adding their own AI features.
Who has an edge
A technical profile who understands business operations and talks in hours saved rather than technology; a sector specialisation helps a lot.
The risks
Fast-changing tools, fragile automations, liability for client data, longer sales cycles than expected.
The first 3 steps
- Pick one sector and list its ten typical repetitive tasks.
- Deliver two discounted projects and measure time saved.
- Publish these case studies and contact 50 businesses in the sector.
How the numbers are calculated
Example in a high-income eurozone country, at month 12: revenue €4,300 − costs €1,500 = €2,800 net per month. Revenue: 1 project × €2,500 + 8 maintenance plans × €225. Costs: AI tool subscriptions, software, insurance, prospecting, social contributions. For other countries, Mundyo adjusts the starting budget to the price level (World Bank) and the income to prices and customers' purchasing power, then converts at the day's exchange rate.
