Sold-price comps API for resale marketplaces
Build a sold-price/comps API and pricing tool for resale marketplaces (Poshmark, Mercari, Depop) aimed at resellers, cross-listing tools, and inventory/pricing apps that need clean historical sold data now that eBay locked its sold listings behind login.

Resilience dashboards for distributed solar in conflict zones
Build a lightweight monitoring and resilience-planning tool for households, small businesses, and municipalities using distributed solar and battery systems in conflict or grid-instability zones: a dashboard that aggregates output from home inverters and battery systems, predicts outage windows from grid-stress signals, and recommends load-shedding schedules.

Swipe-based willingness-to-pay testing for indie makers
Build a rapid pre-launch validation tool for indie makers that goes beyond a basic yes/no survey: a swipe-style deck with conditional follow-ups (price for yes-voters, objection for no-voters), segmented by role and traffic source. Differentiate from the existing iwouldpay.dev by adding an embeddable widget for landing pages, pooled cross-niche pricing benchmarks, or integrations with Product Hunt and indie hacker launch flows.

Schema-aware natural language BI for small teams
Build a natural-language BI wrapper for small business teams: connect to Snowflake, Postgres and Airtable, let users ask plain-English questions and get charts or saved dashboards back, with a schema-aware context layer (table/column descriptions, relationships, business glossary) so the LLM stops hallucinating joins. Sell as a lightweight Retool/Lovable alternative aimed specifically at teams who find existing tools too generic or too hard to keep accurate.

Analytics dashboard for AI crawler traffic
Build an AI-crawler analytics dashboard for website owners that logs server-side requests from Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity and other LLM bots (invisible to JS-based tools like Google Analytics), showing which pages get crawled, how often, and how much referral traffic each AI assistant sends back. Target content sites, SaaS marketing teams and SEO agencies who want to understand and optimize for AI-driven discovery.

Agentic data-exploration tool for solo analysts
Build a narrow agentic BI wrapper that connects to a single database type (e.g. Postgres or Snowflake), lets a user ask a business question in plain language, and autonomously runs a multi-step query exploration loop (drill into cohorts, compare periods, test hypotheses) before returning a written finding plus supporting charts. Target solo founders, small e-commerce teams, or startup ops folks who currently pay for Tableau or Metabase but lack an analyst to actually interrogate the data.

Dynamic pricing tools for small restaurants and shops
Build an affordable AI-driven dynamic pricing add-on for independent restaurants and small retail chains that cannot afford McDonald's-scale AI systems. The tool would ingest POS sales data, local weather, foot traffic and competitor pricing to suggest daypart-based menu or product price adjustments, sold as a lightweight app on top of Toast, Square or Clover POS platforms.
