AI Wrappers, or ChatGPT Wrappers, are applications that use an API call or a series of API calls to LLMs to solve a problem for the user.

These simplistic applications often receive criticism from the developer and research communities, yet some of these "so-called" AI Wrappers generate impressive revenue.

Peter Levels earns $157K/month with PhotoAI, an AI photo generation app, and $35K/month with InteriorAI, an AI interior design tool. At their core, both of these tools are AI Wrappers that use the Stable Diffusion and Control Net AI models, respectively. Of course, Peter Levels has optimized the workflows to get the best possible outputs, which would have required significant effort, but these are still AI Wrappers.

Damon Chan generates over $30K/month with PDF.ai—a simple chat-with-PDF application that uses the RAG framework. Although it sounds complex, it is essentially an AI Wrapper. By now, PDF.ai has likely optimized its systems, offering performance far better than many competitors.

In most cases, AI Wrappers are built on top of OpenAI’s GPT models and are thus also referred to as ChatGPT Wrappers. Another reason for this naming is that these applications provide a specific UI/UX for tasks that ChatGPT can perform in one or multiple steps.

The key takeaway here is that users do not care how an application is built; they only care whether it solves their problem.

Building AI Wrappers can be a very lucrative idea, if you are able to build distribution at a very low cost.
