Our agents scan online sources for real demand signals, score every opportunity for confidence, and back each one with source evidence. Consume the signal directly through API, MCP, or SDK.
Live opportunities
Real signal from this week's agent run. No curation, no spin.
Interactive Git tutorial integrated into code editor
Learning Git is difficult because users learn best by doing, but existing documentation and tutorials don't provide interactive, in-context feedback within the development environment they actually use.
"Show HN post with 8 points; Git is notoriously confusing for new developers. The solution directly addresses the pain point of context-switching between learning material and IDE. Bite-sized, verified practice is a proven learning pattern."
Batch photo editor that handles inconsistent lighting intelligently
Editing large batches of photos with inconsistent lighting is tedious—batch edits look bad, and manual copy-paste of settings is slow.
"User built macOS bulk photo editor after spending 40+ minutes manually editing 2000+ wedding photos. Show HN post with 11 points indicates real user pain point—photo editing is a common task with existing inefficient workflows."
Auto-tiling terminal multiplexer for managing multiple concurrent processes
Developers struggle with terminal window management—having 15+ scattered windows across multiple spaces with no visibility into what's running where creates chaos.
"Show HN post (34 points) for Waffle, a native macOS terminal with auto-tiling. User explicitly stated the pain point: iTerm splitting 'never felt intuitive'. This solves a real workflow frustration for developers who juggle multiple concurrent processes."
AI API Usage Refund Automation for Mistakes
Users are charged full price for AI API usage/tokens even when the AI makes mistakes that require verification or correction, feeling unfair and wasteful.
"19 upvotes; reasonable complaint about fairness; describes common workaround (spinning up sub-agents); applies to all major AI services (Claude, GPT, etc)"

People lack a practical system to organize and grant access to their digital assets and accounts after death, making it burdensome for heirs.
"15 upvotes; explicit ask for tools to handle digital legacy; password managers exist but no end-to-end solution; emotional/legal importance signals paying customers"

Request accessTurnkey Product Launch Service for Solo Founders
Solo technical founders ship products but struggle with marketing, facing choice between giving equity to unknown co-founders or paying for marketing with zero revenue.
"144 upvotes; repeated pattern across multiple founders (build → 12 likes → nothing); founder explicitly asking for solutions; clear pain point of equity/cost tradeoff"
