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.
Good startup idea
Couch cushions - an app that finds lose change from your digital footprints
Here's a fun AI use case for ya:
Hook an AI agent up to your inbox and tell it to find class action settlements you already qualify for.
I did this and it found 8!
About $200 already paid out. About $2,000 more pending.
It's the modern day version of finding change in the couch cushions.
For those too young to remember "change", it's a physical currency that's round and we used to carry it around in our pockets...
Okay, now there's a business here. Someone please build this out. You can call it Couch Cushions.
All I ask is you let me know when you start making money with it and I can have you on the pod.
Give your agent the same prompt tonight. Then have it flag new settlement notices the day they land.
Escaped the terminal for IRL event at User Experience gallery.

If you are in SF in October, you gotta swing by.
Watch this full startup build
(in less than 30 minutes)
the stack:
@ideabrowser - ideas and agents with Claude code
@paper - design assets, prototypes, infinite ideas canvas
@referodesign - design inspo gallery
@wisprflow - 4x faster than typing
@RiversidedotFM - 4k capture + edit
Full build, name, brand what a time to be a builder
I put five startup ideas on a spinning wheel and gave myself 60 minutes to build whatever it lands on.
by the end it needed a name, a brand, a live landing page, an app mockup, socials and ads
i didn't know what i was building until the wheel stopped
@untold_bits was in the trenches with me
startup speedrun ep. 1
There is a big opportunity to build startups for families.
1. Google's new personal agent is for families
2. The skylight calendar is crushing ( bootstrapped $400M company)
You can start by create content and workflows for the modern family.
Start with affiliate revenue/brand deals as you grow your audience, then build your own products.

Startup I wish existed
Connect this to the Home Depot MCP, order materials for pickup, start building, get skating
Upsell: hire the team to build it for you
My kids skate teacher asked if I could help him with a mini-ramp design. Things quickly got out of control.
Let me present, PLY 🛹
Grounded in real-world constraints, materials, and common sizes used in ramp building - I've put together a tool that allows you to not only make a mini-ramp with construction ready plans. BUT infinte ENTIRE skate parks.
PLY is truly nuts. I got hyper good performance at 120fps, all browser based, EU/US standards, full BOM, Cutlist, material optimisation and use of off-cuts. Integration with stores like Home Depot and Beijer (gives you an up to date price estimate for your build) based on total material needed.
It even estimates how many screws you need, and what types of screws. All down to a +-2.5% margin.
Everything is parametric, everything locks into grids based on material constraints (you can detach for bespoke aspects) any orientation, 15 degree banks, 45 degree bowls. But grounded in what can be done with the material you buy.
Not only does it output printable PDF, with step by step assembly like it was LEGO. It also creates 3D visuals and step by step 3D assembly guides you can play on your phone or tablet (yes even computer). Per section, or/and ofcourse your entire park.
The example below shows a park with elevated floor, but you have ground connectors aswell. So you can make freestanding quarters, roll in ramps, spines, boxes, pyramids, rails, stairs... Even draw your own custom components and save them to your own library.
mm, cm, inches, feet, everything is dynamic and you can switch between settings in real-time.
Park fly-throughs, assembly timelapses... BUT that's not all, when done, you can also... skate the damn thing.
IN THE ACTUAL BROWSER 🤯
So what started as an ask for my kids skate teacher, is now turning into a full CAD/GAME for creating skate parks, based on real-world material constraints.
There is so much left to sort out, for example, CONCRETE, yeah, we're doing it. Being able to smoothly shape concrete, calculate the needed volume, rebar, sand, filling material, drainage, slopes, anti-crack lines. Coping molding.
If people are not yet getting it, AI assisted development, is absolutely flipping software upside down and inside out.
I've not touched a single line of code. none. zero.
When it's ready for you to try, I'll share the link.
Until then this video will have to do + some more examples below.

The ideal founder fit is a Solo founders with HR or tech background:
- An ex-tech-recruiter
- ex-comp-analyst who spent 5+ years inside FAANG or a Series C+ startup
- 10K+ LinkedIn followers
- Wants to solo-consult
Why: They already know the counter scripts, they read the risk signals faster than any AI, and their name on the landing page closes the trust gap that a no-name founder cannot close at any price.
Second-best: a career-content YouTuber with 50K+ subscribers pivoting from ads to services.
This is easily a $1M+ opportunity

2) Initiate SEO strategy based on high-intent keywords
3) Create partnerships with career coaches
The MVP
Where the first users come from
- LinkedIn

Can you name your customer and call them today?
Most people who say they are working on a business can't name their ICP
I tweeted a $10 million idea: workouts for desk workers.
Someone built the app. The headline on it was "your smartest workout companion ever."
Who is that for?
Change the headline to "you have eight hours at your desk." I download the app immediately.
A small niche feels like you cut off most of the market.
But would you look for a goldfish in the ocean or in a fish bowl?
Before you build, fill in this line:
I am building [type of business] for [type of person] at [kind of company] who has [this pain] and buys [this] today.
AI knows everything.
But you still don't know
- how to get customers
- what business model is best
- what landing page copy to test next
Here's how Idea Browser gives you the insights you need for your business

3) Get a map that coaches you through building your business
The Market Map gives you
- the shape of the business
- the business model
- your ICP

Every artifact you build goes back into Idea Browser.
Open the project next week and it tells you where you stopped and what comes next.
Pro accounts have no cap on the agentic flows. You connect your own model subscription, so the usage cost is yours.
Idea Browser is "the strategy consultant layer" for your business.
This can compound into a huge business with a realistic ceiling of $10M+ ARR
The goal is to build the Upwork of remote Waymo drivers for heavy machinery.
This would have sounded insane a few years ago.. now it's possible.
Here's how I’d start
1) Partner with Teleo, a company that adds remote controls to construction machines to get trained.
2) Create short-form content on new work from home employment / side gig opportunities.
3) Build the #1 training digital first training. Sell it back to Teleo and other partners
4) Build a vetted network of on-demand operators where construction companies and operators can connect.
This will take some time to build the network effect.
But a B2B enterprise network is a good AI proof moat.
