Using AI to summarize Reddit for business ideas

Hey folks! I'm the maker of GummySearch, which is an audience research tool for Reddit. It lets you dive into any set of communities on Reddit to find what your target customers are talking about.

One of the popular use-cases is to look at pain points or solution requests that come up, and use that intelligence to come up with business ideas.

Today I'm launching a huge improvement to the product, which uses AI to find common trends in those conversations. So it takes the hours of time that it would take for you to read Reddit posts, and turns it into seconds to find common pain points/solution requests.

Here's a video demo of the pattern-finding feature:

If you're ideating/validating businesses, I'd love your feedback!

(Most of the product is accessible to use on a free tier, but since the AI features are quite costly they require a paid plan or a day pass for $10)

    An interesting feature might be: 1) your AI identifies a trend / problem 2) it creates a post in the relevant subreddit to validate. I.e. "im thinking of building xyz, what would you pay for this product etc

    Looks like a great tool/new feature but man I wouldn’t give up your search terms at the top of each section!

      Haha appreciate the concern, that's not very sensitive though. Anyways the search terms are used for the free tier, for the paid tiers it's AI-based matching.

    I like this idea. I have a Decentralized Sportsbetting SaaS I'm near completion, and would like to test something out like this.
