The 140 character tweet (or X) version

This tool finds the easiest ways to make the most money—and then sends agents to execute the whole thing for you. Welcome to automated ops.

The Longer Story Version

The Problem
Most people chase ideas. Smart people chase good ideas. But the real winners? They chase easy money.

Problem is, there’s too much noise. Everyone’s talking about building the next billion-dollar thing, but no one’s looking at the gold mines right under their feet—simple, cash-flow-positive plays hiding in plain sight.

You could spend 100 hours doing trend research. Or buy some Gumroad PDF promising 100 side hustles. Or worse—just scroll Twitter and hope for inspiration.

But even if you find the idea, execution is the next bottleneck. You’ve got a full-time job, a family, a life. You’re not trying to become an AI janitor managing 20 prompts and 9 Chrome extensions.

So how do you go from 0 → revenue with minimal effort?

The Solution
What if an AI agent could do it all? Spot the opportunity. Build the plan. Run the ops.

Here’s how it works:

  • Discovery Agent: Scours NTE, job boards, business forums, marketplaces, Reddit, AliExpress, AppSumo, and even private Discords to find ideas with high ROI and low execution drag.

  • Strategy Agent: Once it finds a banger, it auto-generates a full execution plan: the product, the funnel, the stack, and the first 10 steps to get to $1K/month.

  • Execution Agent: This is your virtual operator. It handles the grunt work—posting jobs, automating outreach, updating listings, managing micro-tasks across Upwork or Fiverr profiles you’ve acquired (yes, that’s a thing).

  • Bonus Agent: You can even resell AI-powered freelance services (like converting Loom videos into blog posts or summarizing legal docs) without ever lifting a finger.

How We’d Build It

  • Agent Infra: Start with CrewAI or AutoGen Studio to assign roles to agents and let them collaborate like a team.

  • Data Sources: Scrape sites like Trends.vc, IndieHackers, Exploding Topics, and use LangChain agents to summarize what’s worth chasing.

  • Execution Layer: Use Superagent to deploy LLMs that actually run workflows, not just spit out text.

  • Frontend: Light frontend on Typedream or Softr to manage what agents are working on.

  • Revenue Dashboard: Pipe into Airtable or June.so for live earnings visibility per idea or task.

Why It Needs to Exist

Because the future isn’t AI replacing your job. It’s AI owning the job board.

This isn’t about playing startup dress-up. This is about letting machines find overlooked opportunities and squeezing the juice from them—without burning your time, your money, or your will to live.

We’ve all heard the cliché: “Work smarter, not harder.” This is that—on steroids.

It’s not for people trying to become billionaires. It’s for people who want a cash-flowing digital empire of tiny businesses and freelance gigs they don’t have to run.

Welcome to passive income, active intelligence.

🧠 Ideas Worth Automating

Because thinking better is the ultimate cheat code

Here’s the problem:
You want a money-making idea, but your brain keeps recycling the same junk:

  • "What if I made a better Airbnb for dogs?”

  • “What if Uber, but for laundry?”

  • “What if I just... built a newsletter?”

Cool. But you’re playing the game on easy mode—and still not winning.

The real move? Train your brain to think in systems, not slogans. To spot leverage, not just features. To find opportunities so good they’re boring.

Because once you get good at spotting ideas worth automating, the rest becomes way easier.

The Shift:
Most people try to come up with a startup idea like it’s a lottery ticket. They wait for a flash of genius. You don’t need that.

What you need is a system.

A system for thinking like a founder, not just brainstorming like a college kid with a whiteboard and a Red Bull.

Try this instead:
Here’s a 3-part mental model that makes idea generation 10x easier:

1. Start with the Constraint, Not the Category
Instead of asking, “What’s a good fintech idea?”, ask:

“What do I already know, that others don’t, that could make money?”

Tools that help:

  • Clarity.fm: See what advice people are paying for by the minute. That’s real demand.

  • People Also Ask: Scrape the weird questions people Google in any niche.

2. Hunt for Underserved Signals
The best startup ideas are already hiding in behavior. You just need to spot what people are doing inefficiently.

Examples:

  • Are people stitching together 3 tools to solve one problem?

  • Are freelancers selling the same exact service repeatedly?

  • Are consumers hacking products to do something new?

Tools that help:

  • Whop.com: Browse paid communities to see what niche nerds are paying for.

  • Zigpoll: Launch a 1-question micro-survey to find pain points fast.

3. Ask: “Would I Pay to Make This Go Away?”
That’s the best idea filter of all.
If the answer is yes, chances are someone else would too.

Better than a TAM slide. Better than a trend graph.
Your personal pain is your best radar.

Bonus: If you wouldn’t pay, you sure as hell won’t build.

Final Thought:
Thinking of ideas is a skill. It’s not luck, and it’s not magic.

It’s a muscle—and most people never train it.

They try to outsource it. Or they wait for a perfect idea to strike, like lightning. Meanwhile, the best builders are out here collecting sparks.

You want an idea worth automating?
First, build a brain worth trusting.
