Spot the frustrations people already have and turn them into products they are ready to pay for.

TL;DR

You'll build an AI Pain Radar that scans real Reddit complaints, captures evidence, and turns frustrations into business ideas. You'll connect a simple two-table Airtable base to recurring Codex automations that research new complaints, generate ideas, and test the best ones. By the end, you'll have a system that surfaces problem-backed startup ideas automatically.

Who this is for

  • Product managers seeking validated problem hypotheses
  • Indie hackers looking for data-driven startup ideas
  • Freelancers wanting to build products people actually need

What you'll build

An Airtable base that stores complaint evidence and business ideas, connected to Codex automations that scan Reddit for complaints and generate linked business ideas.
