The $10M App Idea I Had While Driving

Make me a book App_LMAI idea

Brough to you by DJ founder brain and caffeinated enthusiasm

 

So I’m driving down the road. No music, no podcast. Just vibes and that weird sound your tires make on certain kinds of pavement. I have 6 more hours to go and my brain is drugged by coffee. In the distance I hear a kind of rumbling! It gets louder!

And then bam — an idea hits me. You know the kind. The “why-the-hell-doesn’t-this-exist-already” kind.

I’m talking about SpeakWrite — an AI-powered voice diary for people who want to turn their thoughts into content.

Let me paint you the picture.

 

🚗 Driving, Showering, Pacing… a.k.a. Idea Zones

You know the deal: some of your best thoughts hit when you’re not trying. Driving. Showering. Walking the dog. That liminal space where your brain is chewing on ideas in the background.

But here’s the problem: you forget. Sometimes I write it down in my phone, but mostly even that is problem.

 

🧠 Enter: SpeakWrite (work title)

Here’s the pitch:

SpeakWrite is like having a ghostwriter in your pocket — you talk, it listens, organizes, and builds your next book, blog, or business plan.

You open the app, speak your mind, and boom — it transcribes, tags, summarizes, and files it under your “Book Idea” project. Separate AI agent analyses all of the material and suggest the Chapters and how to improve.

You don’t just get a full transcript. You get:

  • summary of what you said with context.

  • Pulled-out quotesthemesaction itemsquestions.

  • A growing outline of your book, article, startup pitch — whatever you’re building.

  • Interview option – when on, data is saved as interview with speaker data.

 

💥 How It Works (AKA Why This Isn’t Just Another Notes App)

Projects, Not Chaos:
You’re not just dumping audio into a black hole. You’re organizing by project:
📘 “Write That Damn Book”
💡 “Startup Ideas”
🎙️ “Podcast Season 2”

Voice Tags & Commands:
Say “Tag this as marketing” or “Remind me about this next Tuesday” — it gets tagged, organized, and added to your calendar.

AI That’s Not Dumb:
It’s not just speech-to-text. It’s speech-to-content:

  • Suggests chapters and story arcs

  • Summarizes your week’s ideas

  • Helps rewrite your ramblings into real paragraphs

Ask It Stuff Later:
Hey SpeakWrite, what did I say last Thursday about our pricing model?
It’ll fetch the answer like a loyal assistant who never sleeps or complains about your tone. Or just ask AI to ask you follow up questions to clarify the idea.

 

💰 Who Buys This?

Basically anyone who has ideas faster than they can write them:

  • Authors who want to dictate books while walking.

  • Entrepreneurs who pitch themselves in the car.

  • Coaches/Therapists who want to record client sessions and auto-generate notes.

  • Content creators who dream of turning rants into newsletters, tweets, videos.

This isn’t a note-taking app. It’s a thought-capturing, idea-compiling, draft-writing co-pilot.

 

🧨 Why This Could Be a $10M+ Business

Let’s do some fast math:

  • 10,000 paying users

  • $15/month subscription (premium plan for power users with multiple projects management)

  • $1.8M ARR

Now throw in:

  • Corporate/coach team plans

  • Custom integrations with Notion, Google Docs, Ghost, etc.

  • Marketplace for “voice templates” (e.g. “write in Paul Graham style”)

Oh, and you can upsell AI ghostwriting, editing, publishing tools. A full-stack Thought-to-Content machine.

 

🔥 Bonus: It’s Founder Therapy

Honestly, I’d use this just to talk to myself and feel productive.

Forget journaling. Forget writing. Just ramble into the void and let the app figure out what you meant.

 

TL;DR

I want an app that captures my shower thoughts, driving rants, and middle-of-the-night ideas — organizes them, writes summaries, builds outlines, and helps me publish the damn book.

That app is SpeakWrite.

And if you’re reading this and thinking “this should exist” — cool. Go build it. Just remember me when you reach $10M and give me 1% or a lifetime subscription.

 

Let’s do it together!
Want to build this with me? Or know someone who’s already working on something like this?
Hit reply or DM me on Twitter. I’m serious.

 

Until next time — stay weird, stay building, and don’t let your best ideas disappear into the wind like a fart in traffic.
