Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team with interest in beauty/wellness; sells to beauty brands, dermatologists, or direct to beauty-obsessed users across Africa

How to build it
1. Choose a beauty niche (e.g., acne solutions, skin tone matching, hair care for textured hair, or makeup for weddings). Build a knowledge base of 200–500 vetted product recommendations and skincare routines. 2. Wire WhatsApp Business API to a simple Node/Python backend. Use OpenAI API or a local LLM to power conversational Q&A. Store user chat history and skincare profiles in PostgreSQL. 3. Train the AI on your niche knowledge base so it confidently answers questions, asks clarifying questions (skin type, budget, concerns), and recommends products or routines. 4. Add affiliate links or referral codes to products you recommend (Jumia, local beauty e-commerce, international brands). Monetize via commission or direct product sales. 5. Launch to 50–100 beta users (Facebook beauty groups, Instagram DMs, Whatsapp status). Gather feedback, refine answers, track which recommendations convert.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian builders can dominate African skincare + hair niches (textured hair, tropical humidity, darker skin tones) that global AI tools ignore. WhatsApp dominance in Nigeria + West Africa means zero app install friction. Affiliate revenue from beauty retailers + direct product sales to friends/communities scales fast. Low server costs. Can earn in USD from international beauty affiliate networks
