My wife was working a role that, as one of her more mundane jobs, required grabbing image descriptions from ShutterStock for their purchased images and replacing the filenames with them. It took up several hours of her week and was incredibly boring work. I wrote her a small script that she could simply drop it in the folder where the images were and double click.

I always wondered how monetizable this sort of thing was. I've debated building a marketplace for these things. Let me know if you think this could work!



The best monetisation for this would be to explicitly seek out and take up these jobs then automate them away and enjoy the free paychecks. With remote work you could get multiple jobs concurrently even.
