Micro SaaS Ideas for SaaS Founders
⛳ 💡 Micro SaaS for AI-powered Internal Link Building and Image Alt Text Generation
Manually adding internal links between related pages and writing descriptive alt text for images is a time consuming task. Internal linking is crucial for SEO as it helps search engines understand a site's structure and spread link equity. `writing descriptive image alt text is important for accessibility and helping search engines understand the image content. However, these tasks are tedious to do manually, especially for larger sites.
An AI tool that automates this would help large websites with hundreds of web pages as well as agencies looking to optimise their clients websites for SEO. By understanding the context and meaning behind the content, AI the tool would suggest the most appropriate and effective internal links to create as well as descriptive alt text for images. Provide a dashboard for comprehensive internal link analytics and reporting that gives a bird's-eye view of a site's entire link structure and identify broken links etc. The tool should be simple to integrate with Wordpress, Webflow, Shopify and other platforms.
For inspiration, see Beki.AI which is an AI tool that builds and monitors internal links with AI and is used by 200+ clients worldwide.

Create an AI-powered speaking coach that integrates with popular video conferencing tools and provides personalized feedback on the user's spoken English during actual conversations and online meetings. It should work automatically in the background during online calls on Zoom, Google Meet etc. The tool after analyzing the user's speech and identifying areas for improvement should provide targeted exercises to address specific weaknesses. Build a dashboard for users to track their improvement over time with AI providing the insights.

The tool should automatically capture relevant data such as the user's browser, operating system, screen size, console logs etc.
