Steal this idea: What's a product you wish someone else would build?

Ever had a random idea and thought, “Someone should totally build this”? Drop it here.

This thread’s for the stuff you don’t want to build yourself—but really wish existed. Weird, useful, hilarious, oddly specific… all fair game.

  • Fine tune a model with all of my emails

  • Draft emails based on my previous replies

  • Give me a doc I can use to supercede the prompt

  • Take my money

Chris Messina

@steveb Superhuman now does the first two. New Email might also be relevant?


For #4, you can send it to me. 🤑

Neel Patel 🦕

@steveb https://www.serif.ai/ may be what you are looking for.

Liberty Goromonzi

@steveb building it as we speak :-) stand by

steve beyatte

@liberty_goromonzi will be a beta user!

Caterpillar Killer

@steveb  @liberty_goromonzi where? Link to page?

Adam Lababidi

@steveb It's coming soon, check out Migma.ai it's more like for Email Designs that understand your brand and previous designs.

Sophia L.

@steveb True. And my whatsapp / slack messages too.

Teleport – I really do not like when I spend 5 hours travelling. 😅
Quite unrealistic at the moment, but it would be cool to have one.

Aaron O'Leary

@busmark_w_nika yeah this is my one. I think about this every time I'm about to board a flight

Nika

@aaronoleary Exactly. Just waiting for 2 hours at the airport is so time-consuming (not to mention that I have to travel to the closest airport ~3 hours). 🙈

Rajiv Ayyangar

@busmark_w_nika This kind of exists. @tonari is a life-size portal between offices. In fact, @gabe and I recently had a chat via Tonari between SF and Tokyo...it was wild!

Nika

@gabe  @rajiv_ayyangar Pretty cool. Maybe in a few years, you will be able to physically cross from one end of the world to the other through this "mirror". 😀

Brian Balestri

An app that uses a phone's gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, and GPS to determine once and for all who's a better driver; my wife or me

steve beyatte

@bnbalestri Infinite TAM

Derek Liu

@bnbalestri I feel like the stronger the proof, the worse the consequences 😱

Brian Balestri

@derek_liu_dev 100% agree. Originally I thought of the idea when my kids were learning to drive. I want to show them about smooth stopping and accelerations.

A marketplace where you can sell the sofwares that you no longer use. that is, all these lifetimes that you bought in Appsumo by FOMO and that now accumulate dust on your computer. You could also sell those subscriptions that you pay each year because you caught them with a great starting price and today they are worth double, but you and I know that you do not even go to see what is new. Well, that, a place to buy and sell sofwares, licenses and subscriptions that you no longer use.

@jordi_gango an after-market for digital goods would be so good.
Scott Kennedy

@jordi_gango Ooo, you're onto something.

steve beyatte

@jordi_gango If you look at the wild world of AppSumo / LTD Facebook groups, you'll find this :-)

Scan reddit and find posts that apply to my product - Draft multiple replies - I just need to click a button to send the reply
Olga Aleksiutovich

@harvanshchaudhary  @steveb So cool! Will you advise some for X?

steve beyatte

@harvanshchaudhary  @theonebroker I've never used an AI reply bot but people seem to like @Owlead

Olga Aleksiutovich

@steveb  I'm going to test it right away, despite the fact that they do not have a good look on PH @Owlead, but I found out that they are on the market since 2015. So they should otherwise make a second launch on PH.

Andres Vlaeminck

@harvanshchaudhary Would you be interested in a tool that scans subreddits of your choice so you can analyse reddit for marketing purposes?


Harvansh Chaudhary
@andres_vlaeminck it will have a manual work but can come at second place. one similar tool Linkeddit.
Harvansh Chaudhary
@harvanshchaudhary Well, I myself building my idea, 70% of MVP version is finished in 5 days. curious one can join the Waitlist: threddr.com
David Conelly Orellana

Oh man, I have one.

Have you tried opening bank accounts and a payment gateway for a new company? I hate spending hours doing KYCs, when I've already made dozens.


If there was a software where I can upload all my documents just once, and then it gets sent to all the institutions that I want automatically... TAKE.MY.MONEY

Aaron O'Leary

@david_conelly Yeah, banking in general needs a serious dose of automation. I remember moving to England and even trying to open a personal one was hell

"Make me better" AI - that guides me to become better at each area of life.

Parth Ahir

Okay but seriously… why hasn’t anyone built this yet?

I don’t need another AI tool that writes emails or organizes my day—I need one that just says:

“Yo, cancel that meeting. You’re good. Go outside and vibe.”

Like a Reverse To-Do List.
It looks at my calendar, my energy, maybe the weather too—and tells me what not to do today. 😅

Dumb idea or genius? Someone please build this. I’ll be first in line to use it.

Mat G

@parth_ahir We've built something like this with Voke, we're soft lunching soon. 2 main features, vote on if you want to keep or cancel an upcoming meeting and then you can move that meeting to a live or ongoing chat meeting: https://www.vokemeet.com

Raghu_Rtr

Some product that can help people do marketing at the early stage

steve beyatte

@weblancerdev_ What kind of marketing? There are a ton of products that target this niche

Raghu_Rtr

@steveb for any product bcs there are few set of things that are common for all of these

Sophia L.

@weblancerdev_ Check out Aha. It's the 2nd product of the month last month (2nd I think).

Prateek Gupta

An AI assistant which looks at what exactly I do on my computer daily in and out. Slowly it learns and does what I do, freeing me up.
