AI/ML Product Idea
You are an AI/ML seasoned professional of a large web portal. Suggest new product with AI for one of the portal services.
Original texts preprocessing by hemingway score for better machine translation
Applicable to: Yandex.Translator, Google Translate

The quality of algorithmic translations depends on the source material. Complex & vague texts are expected to result in mediocre translations. The only way now is to hire a human translator.
Instead of improving translation algorithms we could simplify the source texts with AI trained to adhere to the so cold hemingway standard. The ultimate result is better texts in both languages. More (rus)
Product Idea for HH.RU (Monsters)
You are a manager of an established job-portal (HH.ru, Monsters). Suggest new product.
Search Teams instead of single employees
First manual compile teams for given projects, then gradually automate the process.
Now this job is done by an internal or external HR not always seasoned in every field and all the skills the team should have. First stage could be ready-to-employ SCRUM DEV teams paid for every suggested team.

REMOTE INTERPRETER

Original product Bla Bla Speak - Uber for interpreters
Problems: No users without interpreters, no interpreters without users, Reach profitability by the end of the year.

The case owner decided not to participate in the work

Conclusion: original idea of commodity interpretations won't stand against google translate
The app had launched in 2018 and was closed with no traction and proven value to the users. There had been 10+ similar apps closed since 2016 г. The only survivors are nishe apps with hardware for doctors. There is untaken niches for layers (courts) business negotiators. For more every day on demand translations Google does the job for free. However, the on-demand translations is still in its infancy.

Hypothesys:remote interpreters may be on demand in B2B
Research showed unfair advantage of the apps partnering university. Monopoly and acmes to the best in class experienced interpreters.

Experiment to test demand in B2B
