Can't find the AI tool you need? Now you can request it directly from the builders who are looking for their next idea.

One of the most common things I hear from people in the indie builder community is some version of this:

"I know exactly what I need. I've looked everywhere. It doesn't exist yet."

And on the other side I hear builders saying:

"I want to build something people actually want. I just don't know what that is."

These two people need to find each other.

That's why we just added Request an AI Tool to IndieAIs.

Here's how it works:

If you're a user who can't find the AI tool you need — submit a request. Describe the problem you're trying to solve, what you've already tried and why nothing has worked. Be specific. The more specific you are the more useful it is to the builders reading it.

If you're a builder looking for your next idea — browse the requests. Real people describing real problems they'd pay to have solved. No guesswork. No market research documents. Just someone saying plainly: "I need this and it doesn't exist."

Why this matters more than it sounds

Most product ideas come from one of three places:

The founder's own pain — which produces the best products but is limited to one person's experience.

Market research — which produces generic insights that ten other people are already building toward.

Community signal — which is what this is. Real people in a community of builders and users saying openly what they need.

The Request feature turns IndieAIs into a two-way platform. Not just a place where builders broadcast what they've built. A place where the people who need things built can speak directly to the people who build them.

The first request sets the tone

Right now the requests board is empty.

That means the first person to submit a request gets seen by every builder who visits IndieAIs from this moment forward. If your request is specific, genuine and well-articulated it becomes the template for every request that follows.

If you're a user with a genuine unmet need — this is your moment. If you're a builder looking for signal on what to build next — bookmark the requests page and check it weekly.

One ask from me

If you're reading this and you have a genuine problem that no AI tool has solved properly — submit it. Don't worry about whether it's technically feasible. Don't filter yourself. Just describe the problem honestly.
