The problem it solves

Scrolling Reddit looking for a real business idea or unmet customer need takes forever, and most of what you find is noise. You end up spending hours reading threads just to walk away with nothing usable.

Who it fits

Entrepreneurs and small teams doing early-stage market research.

How it works

  1. You start the scan for your chosen communities
  2. It pulls trending discussions and filters out low-value posts
  3. AI reads each post for sentiment and unmet needs, then scores the opportunity
  4. Results are written to a spreadsheet ranked by potential
  5. An email lets you know the report is ready to review
What you get

Reddit opportunities ranked for you to review

You get a ranked list of the most promising business ideas straight from real Reddit conversations, ready for you to review anytime.

What you get

A ranked spreadsheet of business opportunities with supporting insights from real discussions.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Sheets account, 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.
