The problem it solves

Finding out what people are actually frustrated enough to ask for takes hours of scrolling through Reddit yourself. Without it, you're guessing at what problems are worth building a business around.

Who it fits

Indie hackers, product builders, or founders looking for validated problems to solve.

How it works

  1. Every Monday, the system scans ten target subreddits
  2. It filters posts for genuine frustration and demand signals
  3. AI reviews the matches and writes up an opportunity report
  4. You receive the report by email
What you get

Startup ideas you spot before anyone else

Every Monday you get a report of frustrations people are posting online, giving you fresh ideas worth exploring.

What you get

A weekly email report of startup opportunities based on real Reddit posts.

What you need

An AI API key and a Gmail account.

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.
