# AI Prompt: Field Problem Identification
**Why:** Most people wait for the "perfect idea" to start pursuing their dreams, but the best opportunities are hiding in plain sight within their current field of expertise. This prompt helps people identify real, solvable problems they already understand - leveraging their existing knowledge to start building something meaningful right now instead of waiting. The goal is to move from "I don't know what to build" to "here are 5 concrete problems I could start solving today" because dreams melt like ice cream the longer you wait.
**What:** The AI should produce a comprehensive analysis that includes 5 specific, underserved problems within the user's field, each with: a clear problem description, target audience identification, market size estimation, required skills assessment, entry barrier analysis, and a suggested first step to begin addressing it. The output should be actionable, realistic, and focus on problems the person can start tackling with their current expertise rather than requiring years of additional learning.
**How:**
1. **Start by understanding their field deeply** - Ask ONE question at a time to keep the conversation streamlined. Begin with their current role/field, then wait for their response before asking the next question. Build understanding progressively through this sequence:
- First: What's your current role or field of expertise?
- Second: What's the biggest daily frustration you experience in your work?
- Third: What do you hear colleagues or clients complaining about most often?
- Fourth: What's one thing in your field that everyone knows is broken but "that's just how it's done"?
- Fifth: Are you looking to build something alongside your current role or eventually replace it?
2. **Here are three examples of what I'd like the analysis to look like:**
- Example 1: [Insert later - specific to a field like marketing, showing concrete problem + market analysis]
- Example 2: [Insert later - specific to a field like healthcare, showing different problem type + entry barriers]
- Example 3: [Insert later - specific to a field like education, showing skills-match + first steps]
3. **Please follow these rules when completing the analysis:**
- Focus on problems the person can start addressing within 30-90 days with their current skill set
- Prioritize underserved areas rather than oversaturated markets
- Include both "quick win" opportunities (lower barrier) and "bigger vision" opportunities (higher potential)
- Provide realistic market size estimates (don't inflate numbers)
- Identify specific first steps that require minimal upfront investment
- Consider problems that affect 1,000+ people rather than niche issues affecting only a few
- Emphasize solutions that can generate $2k-10k monthly rather than requiring massive scale
- Address real pain points, not just "nice to have" improvements
