People pay to watch their cat dance to Michael Jackson.
The idea: AI pet dance and effect videos
Pawz AI turns one photo of a pet into a short clip: dancing, DJing, cooking, celebrating a goal, and 100+ other effects. It launched in March 2026 and already has verified revenue of nearly $20K. Pet owners will pay for anything shareable about their pet.

How it makes money
Weekly or monthly app subscription.
How to start your own
- Wrap an image-to-video model in 20 pet-specific templates.
- Seed TikTok with funny results and show the app at the end.
- Add seasonal effects (Halloween costumes, Christmas).
The catch
Model costs per video can eat margins, so cap free usage tightly.
