I want to start an Ai automation (Ecom specific) in 2026. Is it profitable?

By profession, I'm a performance marketer with 7 yrs of experience and I’m still new to the AI space, but I’m really interested in where things are heading.

I want to work closely with eCommerce brands and help them actually use AI in ways that make sense for their business. Not just the usual generic solutions like chatbots.

The goal for me is to build something valuable long-term, where I can help brands improve and grow while also building a solid business around it.

Still learning and figuring things out, so would genuinely appreciate any guidance or insights from people already in this space
