How it works

From raw frustration to fundable business brief in four steps

01

Scrape

We crawl Reddit, X threads, YouTube comments, and indie hacker forums daily. Millions of posts. Thousands of communities.

02

Detect

AI identifies recurring complaints, "someone should build..." requests, and "I'd pay for..." signals buried in conversations.

03

Score

Each pain point is scored by frequency, engagement velocity, willingness-to-pay signals, and estimated market size.

04

Brief

Top opportunities become full business briefs: target customer, revenue model, competition, MVP spec, and a 7-day launch plan.
