How can I identify the problems faced by my chosen niche to create automation solutions?

There are a couple of ways to discover the problems your niche faces so you can build relevant automations. First, join communities related to your niche—subreddits, forums, schools, groups—and scroll through to see what people are complaining about, what bottlenecks they mention, and what they're not good at. That will give you a list of pain points. While I was explaining that, I happened to look at my watch and noticed I'd ripped the strap—an Orient Bambino that was a graduation gift. It's a shame, but it's a reminder that even small mishaps happen. Beyond community research, you can also look at low‑hanging fruit: talk directly to people in the niche, observe their daily workflows, and identify repetitive tasks that could be automated. The distance between you and knowing what to build is often just a day of focused outreach and listening.
