I built knotic.io and it has helped immensely for hunting for business ideas.
For some context, I had a really hard time coming up with a business idea in a specific industry I'm interested like climate change, and every time I came up with one there were 30 other companies doing the same thing. I tried researching with Gemini and Claude to find business ideas, but everything they came up with was so generic.
Eventually I decided I'd build an AI chat bot that scrapes public data talking about problems that people are having, comes up with solutions to those problems, and talks about how the software can be turned into a company and it can be monetized.
It worked out pretty well. If you ask it to lay out a few business ideas in healthcare It will provide you with three ideas. Those ideas will consist of a quoted problem from a source, provide context on the quote and where it came from, and talks about what people are currently doing to solve this problem. Then it lays out any what your solution could be and any other relevant context.
I built a profile sections along with it so when I listed my budget and experience it gave me different problems than with no context. It operates like a chat bot so if you ask it what type of skillset you'd need to look for in a cofounder to do one of the ideas or questions like "what about with a 10k budget" can give you the answers your looking for.
I researched some of the ideas and most of them it came up with actually had a niche with a valid pain point.
