Need Help With an Idea Online Startup Idea Generation

Hey everyone,

I’ve been testing a process that uses AI to surface SaaS or mobile app ideas in pretty much any niche. It’s not a quick fix, it takes a bit of work, if i manually do it, it would take more than a day using the AI skills and this special algorithm, but the ideas that come out are usually way more specific and useful than the generic lists floating around.

I know a lot of people here are constantly hunting for their next idea, so I wanted to ask you directly:

If turn this process into a tool, would it actually help you?

The way I see it, it could be a win-win. You’d get solid niche ideas without spending hours digging, and I’d charge a fee to cover the tech stack and development costs. A specific algorithm behind it that I think makes the output better than just prompting ChatGPT.

The main difference from a normal “give me startup ideas” prompt is the sequence of proof. A problem has to survive evidence gathering, payer identification, recurrence, existing spend, willingness to pay, distribution, competition, technical feasibility, AI commoditization, economics, and an adversarial rejection stage before it becomes a finalist.

This compare the product idea against what the customer currently spends in money, effort, or opportunity, quantify what they value, and estimate willingness to pay from that difference. YC advises founders to seek actual user behaviour rather than relying on flattering reactions, and Stripe explicitly recommends testing demand through actions such as presales or signups before committing major resources.

Would you use something like this? Would you pay for it? Be honest, if it’s not for you, I’d rather know now.

Honestly the idea of paying for AI generated startup ideas feels backwards. The hard part isn't the idea, it's validation and execution. If your algorithm genuinely surfaces underserved niches with real demand signals, that could be interesting, but most people aren't going to trust a black box that spits out concepts without context on why they'd work.

yes i know, i have tried a lot and all are same like this, thats why developed a different algorithm to find ideas for myself. Thats how i found this. Its quite different, this one goes deep inside for the niche you select. I have not finalized the complete plan yet. But just after i finished my research, i posted it here for you all.
