Show HN: AI Product Opportunity

AI Product Opportunity, a new platform showcased on Hacker News, claims to help founders discover and validate AI product opportunities using evidence from 15 sources, tracking 3,000+ opportunities, 14,000+ evidence items across 44 domains. The platform scores opportunities on 16 dimensions across four pillars (Demand, Monetization, Buildability, and a fourth), with scores capped by evidence, and offers features like AI-ready MVP build prompts and monitoring. The service aims to replace weeks of market research with a six-minute dashboard review, addressing the common startup failure of building products nobody wants.

Stop guessing what to build.

Each product opportunity is scored 0–100 on four weighted pillars, and each pillar is the mean of four dimensions — sixteen in all — scored against cited evidence pulled from GitHub, Hacker News, Reddit, arXiv, Product Hunt and the open web. Demand 30%Is the pain real, frequent and severe — with people saying so in public? Monetization 30%Will someone pay? Budget owners, comparable products, pricing headroom. Buildability 20%Can a small team ship it with today's models, data and open tooling? Openness 20%Is the space still open — or already locked up by entrenched incumbents? The honesty rule: any dimension without verified evidence is capped at 6/10, and a URL only lifts that cap for the claims its kind of evidence can actually prove — so unproven claims can never carry an opportunity to the top of a leaderboard. Popularity metrics like GitHub stars never enter the score. Put a whole domain on one chart A ranked list tells you the order. It does not tell you which opportunity is cheap to build, which one is worth the most, or which one is defensible — and those are different questions with different answers. Compare plots any two of 36 axes against each other across one domain or several, with bubble size and colour carrying two more. The default is the effort-versus-score quadrant every PM already reasons in — quick wins, big bets, fill-ins, money pits — split on the medians of the ideas you selected , not an arbitrary threshold. Quality Score, the four pillars, all 16 scored dimensions, and evidence integrity — how much of a score is actually proven rather than assumed. Economics Weeks to MVP, build cost, year-one ARR, ROI, payback months, LTV/CAC, market size, moat strength, competitor count. Momentum Evidence count, times rediscovered, and 7- or 30-day score movement. Missing estimates are left unplotted rather than drawn as zero — an idea with no revenue estimate is not an idea worth nothing, and a chart that quietly conflates the two is worse than no chart. Every value is also in a data table beneath, so nothing is locked behind the picture.
