I was drowning in information, so I built an AI tool to help me understand what people really think online

Hey everyone,

I've always been inspired by the "building in public" stories. So, I figured it's time to share my own.

My project started as a personal frustration. Whenever I'd read a news article or an interesting piece of content online, I'd find myself scrolling through thousands of comments just to get a sense of the overall public opinion. It was a tedious and time-consuming process. I wanted a way to quickly understand what people were actually talking about without having to manually read every single comment.

So, I decided to build a tool to solve this problem for myself. I've been working on a project, that uses AI to analyze vast amounts of online comments from Reddit (soon I wanna add X and other public forums) and provides an instant, easy-to-understand summary.

While I originally built it for myself and others who just want to quickly grasp public opinion, I've realized it could also be a powerful tool for market research for companies.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and get your feedback. I’m curious, from your perspective as builders and founders, what do you think would be the most valuable use case for a tool like this?

I'm excited to be a more active member of this community and learn from all of you as I continue to build TopicLens.io
