Billion-Dollar Idea Generator

> I'm building The Operating System for SMBs

it's a genius

greenRust•3w ago
Some of these are almost definitely billion-dollar ideas. For instance, Cursor for Developers.

Lovable for Property Managers? Probably not.

Boom, slam-dunk.

QuadmasterXLII•3w ago
From the rapidly changing letters during generation, I can only assume this is powered by a custom text diffusion model, not a boring old autoregressive transformer. (because clearly this would show up in the front end.) Text diffusion is hot right now, are you selling equity? Since its already in production, probably series A- valuation of 2 billion sound right?

This comment made my day, thank you.

checks out

> I'm building Fullstack AI for Defense

Yeah, I think this could be taken to a billion-dollar idea within a couple of months, if the implementation is decent.

Full-stack would probably mean, in context, something from Palantir-style data-mining and aggregation, through logistics/legal/command/etc., all the way to autonomous systems operating on the front lines.

I don't think that anything of this sort actually exists yet? I imagine it could exist, though, especially in smaller countries that feel threatened, and which have fewer layers of bureaucracy, e.g. Estonia.

koolba•3w ago
The real way to use this site is to be the one that makes it and then measure the pause between user clicks. The longer the pause, the more worthwhile the idea. So the “users” are really your compute engine.
darinpantley•3w ago
>I'm building Cursor for Manufacturing

It's the natural next step after software. Imagine the token costs though...

The little GitHub icon on the main page adds some useful context:

Um. Is this jeopardy? If so, "Who is Obama?"

Oh never mind, this one is already done by a country and made a military industrial complex out of it.

It's like the Deepak Chopra BS generator.
