The problem it solves

You want to build or improve a product but don't have time to dig through Reddit, Twitter, and app reviews looking for what people are actually frustrated with. Coming up with new ideas often feels like guesswork instead of something grounded in real demand.

Who it fits

A founder, product manager, or SaaS team looking for validated ideas grounded in real customer complaints.

How it works

  1. The system pulls posts and comments from social media, forums, and app reviews
  2. It cleans and combines the raw data into one list of complaints
  3. AI checks whether each complaint could realistically be solved with a simple product
  4. Promising ideas are scored and ranked by potential
  5. The top-ranked ideas are emailed to you with a suggested solution
What you get

Validated product ideas waiting in your inbox

You get validated, scored product ideas emailed to you, grounded in complaints people are already posting online.

What you get

An email with a ranked list of validated product ideas, each backed by real complaints and a suggested solution.

What you need

Access to social media and forum APIs, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
