My saas discovery idea discovery agent - if anyone wants access let me know.
this run without any niche.
If you want me to run this for any specific niche or problem that you think need a bit of validation let me know in the comments.

What I did (high level)
Searched Reddit across target communities (r/Freelancers, r/SideProject, r/SocialMediaMarketing, r/hubspot, r/indiehackers, etc.) for problem threads matching queries you requested.
Scraped representative threads for full context and comments.
Validated each problem with YouTube tutorial evidence and keyword demand (via keyword research) and a quick web competitor scan.
Shortlisted four validated problems and started synthesizing short opportunity briefs for each.
Reddit threads I found & scraped (representative)
Freelancers complaining about time spent chasing clients and following up on invoices
Example scraped thread: "How does everyone keep track of their clients automate follow up?" (r/Freelancers) — OP: spending too much time on follow-ups; commenters recommended free CRMs, snooze/email reminders, and lightweight trackers.

Social media marketers debating AI caption generators (mixed sentiment)
Example scraped thread: "Has anyone here tried an AI social media post generator? Worth it or overhyped?" (r/SocialMediaMarketing) — many commenters skeptical but others see use as a drafting assistant.

Proposal & proposal automation mentions across r/SaaS, r/freelance, r/n8n (found via searches)
Several posts and tutorials show people building and asking about proposal generators and automations (n8n/Make tutorials and Proposify/Proposaly tools surfaced).
Validation evidence per problem (quick summary)
A. Invoice follow‑up / client follow‑up automation
Reddit signal: multiple threads from freelancers asking for lightweight tracking and automated follow-ups; side project PayChase demonstrates iterated attempt from a founder.
Keyword data: strong volume for payment-related queries — e.g., "payment follow up email" ~1,300/mo; "follow up on invoice" and related phrases consistent in hundreds to thousands monthly.
YouTube: tutorials and explainers on following up on invoices and automating invoicing reminders exist (many finance/invoicing creators).
Web competitors: Bonsai, Zoho Invoice, PayChase (side project), and many invoicing tools with reminder automation — indicates buyers and viable pricing.
B. Social caption / Instagram caption generator
Reddit signal: mixed — marketers skeptical about replacing human voice, but many admit utility for drafts; thread contains practical discussion about expectations and limitations.
Keyword data: very high intent volumes for "instagram caption generator" (~22k/mo), "ai instagram caption generator" (~3.6k–4.4k at peaks), "social media caption generator" (~720/mo) — large demand.
YouTube: tutorials showing how to use
Copy.ai / other tools to generate captions; walkthroughs exist showing demand for how‑to.
Web competitors:
copy.ai, numerous Instagram caption generator tools — crowded but quality complaints indicate opportunity for a better UX/brand-voice approach.
C. HubSpot portal templating / client onboarding automation
Reddit signal: explicit post asking for templated portal cloning; users discuss features to clone (workflows, properties, pipelines).
Keyword / web: fewer direct search volumes for niche phrase but clear niche demand in HubSpot onboarding community; competitor mentions include Supered,
admincrm.io, and various portal replicator tools.
YouTube: technical tutorials on HubSpot APIs, Power Automate, and Portal setup; shows feasible build/integration options.
Opportunity: niche buyers (HubSpot integrators/agencies) willing to pay for time savings; less consumer competition but more technical work needed.
D. Proposal & contract generator (AI‑assisted)
Reddit signal: multiple posts asking for proposal templates and automated proposal workflows; authors demonstrate building such tools and request feedback.
Keyword data & web: Proposify, Proposaly, ProposalGenie and many tutorials; YouTube has practical tutorials on building AI proposal flows in n8n/Make — real, repeatable demand.
YouTube: several creators show building proposal generators and chargeable automations (some reporting revenue).
Short opportunity briefs (actionable, fast MVP paths)
Invoice Nudge — AI-driven follow-up sequences for freelancers
Problem: Freelancers waste time chasing invoices and deciding what to say.
MVP: Landing page form to input invoice details → generate 3 follow-up messages (friendly → firm → final) downloadable sequences; simple scheduler via Airtable Make zap to trigger emails (or manual copy/paste).
Validation strength: High (Reddit demand strong keyword volume).
Quick GTM: Post to r/Freelancers, r/SideProject, LinkedIn groups; offer first 10 users free scheduling.
CaptionDraft — Brand‑aware caption generator (assistant, not autopilot)
Problem: Marketers want fast drafts but not robotic copy.
MVP: Simple UI where user pastes 3–5 past brand posts or a brand URL; LLM returns 5 caption variants tailored to platform and tone; free tier allows 3 captions/day.
Validation strength: High (big search volume); Reddit shows quality concerns — position as assistant brand‑voice training.
Quick GTM: Live examples on Twitter Instagram showing before/after; small outreach to social managers.
PortalClone — HubSpot portal template cloner (niche B2B)
Problem: Agencies doing repeated HubSpot portal setups want to clone core assets cheaply.
MVP: Offer a "consult template" service or a script that extracts/exports JSON config of core properties/workflows for manual import (or step‑by‑step instructions using HubSpot API). Start as paid service for single-clone jobs or a self-serve script for advanced users.
Validation strength: Moderate but targeted (clear Reddit ask; fewer product competitors).
Quick GTM: Outreach to HubSpot consultancy owners and r/hubspot; offer a low‑cost pilot.
ProposalForge — Lightweight AI proposal generator for freelancers
Problem: Freelancers spend time writing bespoke proposals.
MVP: Form-based intake (project brief, deliverables, pricing) → LLM generates a polished proposal PDF export; include 2 pricing tiers (basic free PDF sample; $9 one-off for branded proposal).
Validation strength: High (existing tools & tutorials, many builders).
Quick GTM: Share templates in r/freelance, demonstrate generating a proposal for a real Upwork listing and show conversion benefits.
Next steps I completed internally
Collected and scraped representative Reddit posts (links above).
Ran keyword analyses for the main problems (invoice follow-ups and caption generation show strong search volumes).
Searched YouTube for tutorials and found practical build guides that confirm feasibility (proposal generator tutorials, HubSpot API tutorials, caption-generator tutorials).
Marked tasks complete in the todo manager and synthesized the four opportunity briefs above.
What I can do now (pick any)
Fully expand 1 of the four briefs into a complete 48‑hour build plan: exact LLM prompts, landing page copy, UI wire, no‑code integration steps (Airtable/Make/Stripe), and outreach scripts ready to paste.
Build the copy and exact LLM prompts for the MVP (so you can paste directly into your OpenAI account and wire into a form).
Produce the short launch assets (landing headline, 3 bullets, 5 outreach DM templates, Reddit post copy) for any chosen idea.
Which one should I turn into a full ready‑to‑execute 48‑hour pack first? (Invoice Nudge, CaptionDraft, PortalClone, or ProposalForge)
