How to Create and Monetize an AI Wedding Speech Generator in a Weekend

👰‍♀️ Weddings are always a good time. Unless you hate public speaking and you’ve been asked to give a speech. What if there was a tool that could help you do this and significantly lessen your anxiety?

In this edition of the Easy Startup Ideas newsletter, we’ll break down how you can build an AI-powered wedding speech generator that helps users craft heartfelt, personalized toasts while creating a scalable and profitable online business.

Today’s Idea

A niche AI-powered platform that helps wedding participants—grooms, brides, best men, maids of honor, and family members—write heartfelt, personalized wedding speeches.

The tool guides users through structured prompts, emotional tone options, and storytelling techniques to reduce stress and ensure the speech feels authentic and memorable.

Ideal Customer

• Grooms, brides, best men, maids of honor, parents, and close friends who need help crafting a wedding speech but feel anxious about it.

• Officiants looking for unique, well-structured wedding ceremony scripts.

• Wedding planners who want to offer speech assistance as an add-on service.

• Toastmasters and public speakers who need structured templates for wedding-related events.

Why It Will Succeed

1. Solves a Real Pain Point – Public speaking is one of the biggest fears worldwide, and wedding speeches are high-pressure moments. Many people struggle to find the right words and worry about being too long, too short, or too generic. An AI-powered tool eliminates these anxieties by providing structure, guidance, and personalization.

2. Existing Demand, No Clear Winner – Generic AI writing tools exist, but few focus exclusively on wedding speeches with structured storytelling guidance. Current alternatives are either static text templates or generic AI writing assistants that do not provide a tailored experience.

3. Simple Yet Profitable – OpenAI’s ChatGPT API makes it easy to build a niche product without developing AI from scratch. The value comes from branding, user experience, and industry-specific fine-tuning. Simple “AI wrappers” like this continue to generate significant revenue.

4. Scalable, Low Overhead – The business operates entirely online, with no physical inventory, shipping, or fulfillment concerns. Once the product is built, the main costs are marketing and server fees.

5. High Willingness to Pay – People are willing to spend money to avoid embarrassment and deliver a great speech. Weddings are high-budget events, making it easier to justify a small one-time expense.

Getting Started and Building an MVP

Step 1: Core Technology – Using OpenAI’s API

Instead of developing an AI from scratch, we can integrate OpenAI’s GPT API or Anthropic’s Claude API to generate well-structured wedding speeches. The API call would take in:

• The user’s role (e.g., best man, father of the bride)

• Their relationship with the couple

• The tone they want (humorous, sentimental, formal)

• Any personal anecdotes or themes they want to include

By fine-tuning the prompts and structuring responses properly, we can ensure that speeches don’t sound robotic but instead feel engaging, personalized, and natural.

Step 2: Designing a Simple, Beautiful UI

• Use Bubble.io or Webflow to create a no-code or low-code web app that delivers a smooth user experience.

• The UI should be structured like a guided questionnaire, making it easy to fill in personal details and generate a unique speech instantly.

• Offer an editable output so users can tweak the speech before finalizing it.

• Implement an AI-powered speech tone selector, where users can test different versions before choosing their favorite.

For a fully custom-built solution, users can ask ChatGPT or Claude for guidance on coding a web app from scratch using:

• Next.js (for a fast, scalable front-end)

• TailwindCSS (for clean and modern styling)

• Vercel (for easy deployment with minimal backend management)

A simple MVP can be built in a weekend by following online tutorials or getting AI-generated code snippets to assemble the core functionalities.

Step 3: Testing & Refinement

• Launch a beta version with limited users and gather feedback.

• Adjust prompts and tone settings based on common customer feedback.

• Optimize output to ensure that speeches sound natural, engaging, and unique.

• Offer a freemium model where users can generate a basic outline for free and upgrade for a fully written speech.

By leveraging existing AI tools, low-code solutions, and rapid deployment platforms, this MVP can be built with minimal technical expertise and be live within a matter of weeks.

Monetization Strategies

1. Pay-Per-Use Model – Charge a one-time fee per speech, such as $19.99 for a basic speech and $29.99 for a premium version that allows for extra revisions.

2. Subscription Plan – Offer a $9.99/month plan for users who may need multiple speeches (event planners, toastmasters, officiants).

3. Upsells & Add-Ons – Provide additional services such as professional editing, speech coaching, or video delivery of the speech read aloud.

4. Affiliate Revenue – Partner with wedding vendors, speech coaches, and event planners who can promote the tool in exchange for a commission.

5. Corporate & White-Label Licensing – Sell the tool to wedding planning websites, speechwriters, and event services under a white-label agreement.

Marketing Strategies

1. SEO-Optimized Blog Content – Create a blog filled with high-ranking wedding speech keywords like "best man speech examples" and "how to write a wedding toast." This will drive organic traffic from people actively searching for help.

2. TikTok & Instagram Ads – Short video ads showcasing the AI speech generator in action will perform well, especially on platforms where wedding content is highly engaged.

3. YouTube Tutorials & Demos – People search for wedding speech advice on YouTube. Creating demo videos of the AI generating speeches in real-time will help with conversions.

4. Wedding Planner Partnerships – Offer wedding planners a referral fee for every couple they send to the tool.

5. Reddit & Facebook Groups – Many wedding planning communities exist where people share speech struggles. Offering a free trial or discount in these groups could convert many customers.

Expanding and Improving

1. Personalized Speech Coaching – Offer an AI speech analysis feature where users can record themselves reading their speech, and AI provides feedback on pacing, tone, and clarity.

2. AI Voice Generator – Allow users to hear how their speech sounds when read aloud, helping them refine it.

3. Custom Templates for Different Speech Styles – Create specialized options, like humorous roasts, sentimental speeches, and religious ceremony scripts.

4. Localization & Multi-Language Support – Expand to other languages and cultural traditions for global markets.
