An AI-based app and database of business ideas to address real-world problems (bigstartupideas.com)

Hello everyone. I work as a researcher for startups and other companies, and I know how many people struggle to come up with new business ideas. I believe there are still many problems to tackle; we just need to look closer.

So, to help everyone interested in starting a company (and also expand my coding skills and understand how to use generative AI), I built Big Startup Ideas, a database of business ideas for real-world problems. The backend AI-based app uses real-world data (economic, market, and consumer behavior coming from online sources) to generate the business ideas.

This is it: https://bigstartupideas.com

It took some time to develop and improve data gathering, but it is still quite basic (it was mostly the learning curve). The app is a gpt wrapper in part, but it has its own set of rules to identify problems and produce ideas more systematically.

The database is free to browse, and there is an ebook with a curated set of ideas for just a few bucks. But it's still a side project.

I appreciate your comments and hope you find at least one idea that inspires you!
