A good idea can change everything...

@gregisenberg Would buy “where’d I put that” right now Hey Claude, where’d we put that file we just made?

agreed that the the modern computer probably has to be reinvented 12 "tiny" startup ideas that ride that wave: 1. a "where did I put that" app. you describe what you're looking for in plain english and it searches across every app, folder, email, and slack message you've ever used. no more remembering where things live. 2. a "did this actually work" tracker for AI agent outputs. every time an agent does something for you, you thumbs up or thumbs down it. over time it builds a quality score per agent per task. right now nobody knows which of their agents are actually good and which ones are quietly wasting money. 3. a screen recorder that watches you work and builds SOPs automatically. you do the task once. it writes the playbook. now an agent can do it forever. 4. an AI-native contacts app. it remembers every interaction, every context, every promise made across email, slack, texts, and calls. you say "what did I tell jake last week" and it knows. 5. a "daily briefing" app that reads your calendar, email, slack, and docs overnight and texts you a 60 second summary of what matters today before you open anything. 6. an intent-based screenshot tool. you screenshot anything on the internet and tell it what you want done with it. "order this." "remember this." "send this to my designer." one screenshot, one sentence. basically cleanshotx for mac but actually does the work not just captures the moment (i love this idea who wants to build it?) note: i used @ideabrowser to validate some of these ideas 7. a permissions manager for your AI agents. which agents can access which accounts, what's the spending limit, what requires your approval. nobody is building this and everyone is going to need it. 8. a "rewind for work" that logs every tab, doc, and conversation from your workday and lets you search it like memory. "what was that article I read tuesday about pricing?" found. 9. a dead simple app that sits between you and all your AI agents and tracks what they're spending. token costs, API calls, subscriptions. one dashboard. your AI budget is about to become a real line item. 10. a personal API for yourself. one endpoint that any agent or app can query to know your preferences, schedule, current projects, and communication style. instead of configuring every AI tool separately, they all just call you. 11. an approval feed for agents. every time any AI agent in your stack wants to do something risky, it pings one feed. one place to say yes or no. like a notification center but for agent decisions. 12. an AI-native voicemail. instead of leaving a message, the caller talks to your AI. it asks followup questions, figures out urgency, books the meeting or handles the request. you never listen to a voicemail again. you read a summary with the action already taken. goal: get your creative juices flowing it's time to build i believe in you

@DCandi83 @gregisenberg ideabrowser.com/success-stories Have some more I should add. A user emailed me last week about signing a $156,000 annual contract

@ideabrowser @gregisenberg You need to put some testimonials on the site, someone who built some idea from the site and profited from it

wake up because this is the GREATEST time in history to start a company with TRILLIONS of dollars up for grabs over the next 10 years 1. consumer mobile is INTERESTING again for the first time since like 2017. apps can actually do things now. do things. real things. book the flight, draft the contract, follow up with the lead, negotiate the rate, do things. we went from "tap to view" to "tap to deploy." the entire interaction model of software just flipped & most people haven't even registered it yet. OH, and the cost to create these apps is 1/100th of 2017. 2. HARDWARE is back on the table because you can shove Gemma 4 or DeepSeek onto a device that costs less than dinner & it runs locally with zero cloud costs. a year ago that sentence would have sounded insane. you can ship a physical product with a real brain in it now. the last time hardware was this accessible was the early smartphone era & that created a trillion dollar app economy from scratch. 3. literally EVERY category is open to be rebuilt AI-first. the incumbents know it & they're paralyzed. they can't move fast because moving fast because incumbents move slower than you (usually). that paralysis is your opportunity. build the app. build the SaaS. build the AI agent 4. distribution is FREE. you can go from zero audience to 10,000 people who trust you in 90 days on X or YT or IG your first 100 customers are sitting in your replies right now. the old playbook of "raise money, hire sales team, buy ads" is being lapped by a solo founder with a twitter account & a working demo. Oh, and you can use AI to automate a lot of it (ideas, research, AI avatars etc) 5. Idk about you but it feels like companies are doing LAYOFFS like it's the great depression and it's only getting started. No job is secure. So, building a side project that could turn into the main project is more important than ever. 6. the ENTIRE economy is being repriced in real time. the surface area for new companies has never been wider. the tools to build are free. the models are open source. the incumbents are running committees about their "AI strategy" while you could have already shipped. and somehow the predominant response from most people is to watch youtube videos about it & go back to their 9-5. not saying this is easy not saying everyone will win but im saying right now is a time worth trying YOU ARE LIVING through a mass reshuffling of who owns what & who builds what. the last time this happened was the internet itself. before that, electricity. this almost never happens. & you're sitting there doing nothing about it? wake up.

@erichristian1 @gregisenberg nice one!

@gregisenberg Built this app this week from an @ideabrowser idea: apps.apple.com/us/app/gutchec…

@AIWiseGuide @gregisenberg 🙏

@ideabrowser @gregisenberg I am a subscriber. Have found tremendous it fascinating with many great ideas!

@ItsMattGeer Truuuthheerrrr

@ideabrowser A lot of truths in there. Couldn’t find much if anything to argue with.

I built a personality quiz for founders A scenario game that tells you: - what ideas to build - types of business models - who to partner with - how you operate in success/stress It's too fun so I made it free.

@nitishnaik2022 Give it a try ideabrowser.com/archetype/jord…

@ideabrowser This is a cool tool for founders! Knowing your founder archetype can shape your product strategy and team choices. The scenario-based approach is way more engaging than typical quizzes. As a SaaS builder, I'm curious what this would give me.

@andrewgmonroe What’d you get??

@ideabrowser this is awesome

@primetimeindy CleanshotX Mac app just a screen recording

@ideabrowser This is sick! What did you use to record this demo?

@ClaretteduPlooy @startupideaspod Yeah it’s kinda mind blowing

@ideabrowser @startupideaspod Was fun to try and a lot of truth in the results 😁.

@catarinaniny 100% ideabrowser.com/archetype/jord… Lemme know how you like it :)

@ideabrowser Can I try?

Good idea Better UX Best product demo

@gregisenberg Good idea

It feels pretty obvious at this point that someone’s going to make billions building a social app that’s just for friends, no AI slop, no brainrot, calm design, chronological feed and no concept of followers

@demosliceio @gregisenberg You can use the free connector to any LLM. We will be adding more free skills to help get you unstuck, started and confident about ROI. :) more soon Ideabrowser.com/login

@gregisenberg I signed-up at @ideabrowser , however I'm stuck in analysis paralysis. I don't enjoy watching videos; they get boring. I'd rather clearly see the inputs and outputs of each feature so I can be confident I'll get ROI.

The xAPI is the cheapest it’s ever been. You can give access to your agents and openclaws. Build apps with real time data. This is the perfect example. Build a fun sports app for your team or skip ahead and build a cash-flowing business in a niche with the data.

@probecomplianc Cool!

@ideabrowser that’s a static scan Probe runs an agent against your API and scores what comes back. getprobe.xyz

This website tells you if your site is ready for agents.

@gregisenberg Let’s go Claude design. Steal ideas from me and design them. Ideabrowser.com/join
