Let’s keep it simple. Here are the _exact _steps to make 7 AI startup MVPs, for 7 diverse use-cases, in 7 minutes. Fasten your seatbelts.

Idea: Sell face mask detection systems to stores for their CCTVs.

**Data: **Images of people wearing masks and people not wearing masks.

**Process: **Build a model, host it, sell it.
