Hello! Seeking essential advice regarding the desire to create an "AI". One that acts as a personal musical "Composer" in response to the individual users' emotional feedback. Company Name already created, as well as Trademark name for potential AI. However, I don't know where to start...

Title pretty much sums it up. With 0 background in computer science as well as no experience developing a company, I'm seeking professional advice (or personal) on the best approach to this potential business idea. Given the progression of Artificial Intelligence and its influence on the global population in modern day, I have now developed an interest in its potential.

After creating a model for foundation, one which is relatively simple in nature, I took it upon to myself to embrace my lack of knowledge/interest in the science of AI and go directly to the source: ChatGPT.

Unfortunately, I currently can't afford to engage with the "smartest model" of ChatGPT, but after discussing a plan of approach with the free OpenAI version, I was given a lot of valuable information that I most likely would have overwhelmed myself with independently. With that being said, I'm now looking to hear from individuals who have actual experience within the respective backgrounds. Any advice will help

Questions:

What does the development of an AI assistant require for foundation?

Can it be built upon already established AI and will there require a level of knowledge regarding coding as well as the proper legal understanding of API usage?

Should the focus be on app development or the AI tool specifically?

What communities would you suggest, to seek individuals with the ability to bring an idea to fruition virtually?

From a business perspective, given the lack of financial resources and significant model value, how would one communicate this idea to others to potentially become involved or invested?

If I am asking the wrong question, feel free to advise. Any questions that require more information on the idea is welcomed.
