I Automated How I Find and Validate SaaS Ideas I wasted months trying to come up with SaaS ideas by just sitting and thinking, which obviously led nowhere. The problem was never about creativity or being smart enough, it was that I was trying to invent problems instead of finding real ones. What actually ended up working was something way more simple. I started going through Reddit threads, X, HackerNews, Product Hunt, basically anywhere people complain about stuff. And people complain a lot. If you see the same complaint show up over and over in different places, that's probably a real problem worth solving. Not a maybe, not a "I think people might want this", but an actual thing that people are frustrated about right now. After that I'd look into who's already trying to solve it, whether the market is big enough to actually make money, and if the timing is right. I'd check competitors, see how they're doing, look at whether the space is growing or dying. This is the part most people skip and then they wonder why nobody wants their product. The problem with doing this manually Doing all of this by hand takes forever. You're scrolling through hundreds of threads, reading comments, trying to spot patterns, then switching to a different tab to research competitors, then going back to reading more threads. It's exhausting and after a while you start losing track of what you've already looked at. This process, while it works, is not sustainable if you want to move fast. And moving fast matters because someone else is probably looking at the same problems you are. So I automated the whole thing I built Hurrymind to automate the entire flow. It finds online conversations across Reddit, X, Product Hunt, and HackerNews, then extracts the pain points from those conversations. Those pain points get classified into actual ideas, and then they go through a filtering system so that only the best ones reach you. Not every complaint is a business opportunity, so the filtering is important. On top of that, you can run a detailed market analysis on any idea. It finds the competitors, tells you if it's the right time to launch, and whether there's enough market to actually generate revenue. I also added a chatbot to the analysis so you can ask questions and dig deeper into anything that's not clear. The third part is the one-go prompt generation. It creates a super detailed prompt that will generate like 90% of the MVP in one shot. The whole flow from discovering an idea to having most of the MVP done took me around an hour and fifteen minutes. Why this approach works You're not guessing. You're looking at what people are already telling you they need. The data is literally out there in public conversations. You just need a way to find it, filter it, and make sense of it fast enough to actually act on it. I've seen too many people (including myself) build something nobody asked for because it "seemed like a good idea." If you start from real frustration that real people are expressing, you skip that entire phase of uncertainty. If you want to try it Currently Hurrymind is offering free trials, so if you're stuck not knowing what to build or you keep going back and forth on ideas, check out hurrymind.com and give it a shot. Worst case you find some interesting problems people have that you didn't know about. Best case you walk away with a validated idea and most of your MVP done in about an hour.
