Four founders, two of whom had built the drinks-delivery start-up Winelivery, looked for a profession that works with a large, fast-changing body of rules and had not yet adopted AI, and chose Italian accountants and labour consultants. They tested a first version with practitioners and sold monthly subscriptions. In October 2025 TeamSystem, an Italian maker of software for accountants, bought the majority of the company; its press release said Normo.ai had €1.3 million of revenue in 2025.

It sells one narrow job to one profession in one country: missed calls at small Belgian law firms. The site, the blog and the terms are written for lawyers at the Belgian bars, in French, with answers about professional secrecy and GDPR that this buyer asks first. A small firm pays a fixed 90 euros a month instead of a part-time secretary.

The founders are lawyers who built the legal departments of two Berlin startups, and the CEO writes that he knows the frustration with old legal software from that work. LawX replaces the whole office system instead of adding one more AI tool, it charges one price per user for the whole team, assistants included, and every AI suggestion waits for a person to approve it. tech.eu reported in May 2026 that the next step was the broader law firm market.

One founder had worked as a corporate lawyer and the team sold directly to law firms and banks that it already knew. The product was built on Indian court material, which global tools cover less well. Customers made it part of daily work: when the platform went down for maintenance, users called and messaged the team to ask when it would return.

Three founders built it without outside money in 2023, and the first message, that it replaced lawyers, scared the customers away. They changed it into an assistant for lawyers, connected it to the Spanish official gazette and court decisions, and had it take the Spanish judiciary entrance exam in front of a notary. According to Merca2, that public test turned a handful of customers into hundreds a month. Doctrine, a French legal AI company, bought it in February 2026.

The founder is a New York trial attorney with about fifteen years of practice, and the company's pages say he built the platform inside his active trial practice and wrote the prompts and templates himself. General legal AI tools are not built for one task such as contested litigation; this one is built only for that.

Many people own enough clothes and still do not know what to wear, and a screenshot of a look they like does not tell them how it would look on them or what in their closet goes with it. Aesty answers both questions with image models from OpenAI and Google, and sells the answer by the week, the month or the year. TrustMRR, reading the company's RevenueCat account, showed US$67,971 of revenue in total and US$10,064 of monthly recurring revenue from 688 subscriptions at the last sync on 22 September 2026.

It reached the App Store early, in July 2023, with the simplest form of the idea: press one button, get a transcript and a summary. The founder paid for Meta ads while they still worked for a new kind of app, tested paywalls constantly and moved buyers to annual plans. He works alone with AI coding tools, so in his own 2026 account about US$3 million of about US$7 million a year stays as profit.

It appeared in January 2023 inside Google Slides, a program where people already work, when writing slides from one sentence was new, and users showed it to each other without paid advertising. A blog about presentation topics then brought about 80% of new users from Google search, by the founder's account. Both channels weakened: search traffic fell, and Google added the same function to Slides. The verified total is real, and so is the fall: monthly revenue fell by half between February and July 2026.

The founders had worked inside healthcare billing before, so they knew that insurance follow-up calls are a large, repetitive and expensive part of the work.

The first three critiques are free, and a subscription is needed after that.

The founder is a search-and-rescue dog handler who saw that teams still kept paper logs. Professional dog units must prove training for certification, audits and court, so a structured record with timestamps and edit history has a clear buyer. The AI summaries turn those records into advice without extra work for the handler.
