Every idea that went through the panel.

“GearSync — inventory bridge syncing Reverb and Shopify for boutique music shops selling used and vintage gear.”

You're building a $3.6M ceiling disguised as a company — but the pain is real enough to make it work as a very specific thing.

“DriftWatch: Consumer-Side API Integrity for Agents Forget high-end CI/CD suites. Build a lightweight drift detection agent that monitors the third-party APIs your LLMs depend on. When an external API (like Stripe or Twilio) shifts its schema or behavior, it breaks your function-calling. DriftWatch catches this in real-time. Core Features: Runtime Monitoring: Compares live API outputs against published specs (OpenAPI/Swagger). Instant Alerts: Slack/PagerDuty pings the second an endpoint "drifts" from its definition. Failure Logs: Captures exactly where and why your AI agent choked on a response. The Play: Target DevOps at AI-native startups and Fintech teams using heavy function-calling. Price at $49/mo per endpoint. Ship in weeks, not months. The real moat? Collecting a category-defining dataset on which APIs are the most "agent-hostile" to eventually upsell producers on prevention tools.”

You named your product "DriftWatch" — the same name as an existing competitor that already does what you're describing. That's not a startup, that's a trademark lawsuit.

“A review aggregator, for the Korean market, that let agencies log in on multiple platforms, like naver maps, google maps, Trustpilot, Yelp. Etc.”

You're betting the whole product on an API that doesn't exist yet — in a market that haggles hard.

“For Shopify agencies tired of getting blamed for revenue dips they didn't cause, [Product Name] is an invisible accountability layer that monitors 'cowboy' theme edits in real-time. Unlike analytics dashboards that require manual checking, we are a headless webhook service that plugs into the tools you already use—Slack, Notion, and Triple Whale.”

You're selling a "Get Out of Jail Free" card built on a causal claim you can't actually prove.

“Localization is the "final boss" for indie game developers. Enterprise tools (Phrase, Lokalise) are overkill—both in price and complexity—for a solo dev shipping a $15 game on Steam using Godot or Unity.”

You're selling aspirin to people who only get headaches once every two years.

“LinearPulse is a "Feedback Loop" automation tool for Linear-centric B2B teams that turns the "Done" column into a retention weapon. It uses an AI scoring engine to parse internal tickets, filter out dev-only noise, and automatically dispatch personalized "We built this for you" emails to the specific customers who requested a feature or reported a bug the moment it goes live.”

You're building a $49/month feature that Linear will ship for free before you hit 100 customers.

“The "One-Click" AI Subscription Auditor SaaS "creep" is at an all-time high. Every employee now has their own "company" AI tools.”

You're bringing a knife to a gunfight where Zylo and Torii already have tanks — but the tanks can't see Shadow AI yet.

“GEO-Pulse: Vertical AI Intent Monitoring Traditional SEO is dead. Brands now live or die by Answer Engines (Gemini, Perplexity). GEO-Pulse is a B2B SaaS that audits how AI models represent your company in the "black box" of LLM outputs. Core Features: Share of Model (SoM): Tracks citation frequency vs. competitors for high-intent queries. Hallucination Guard: Alerts you if an LLM provides false info on your product or pricing. Source Mapping: Finds the niche forums or docs AI uses as "truth." The Strategy: Target Cybersecurity or Fintech vendors specifically. Position as "Visibility Insurance." When an IT lead asks AI for "secure alternatives to [Competitor]," you ensure your brand is the answer. Price at $299/mo per seat. High-intent, high-moat, low-churn. This is a technical B2B play, not a solo-founder toy.”

GEO Tracker is already live selling your product; your only edge is a vertical wedge in cybersecurity/fintech you haven't started building yet.

“ContractKeeper ContractKeeper is a specialized "Revenue Retention" SaaS for small-to-mid-sized HVAC contractors. It focuses exclusively on the $300–$900 "silent churn" problem: maintenance agreements that expire because visits were missed or renewals weren't tracked.”

You've identified a real $50K problem and priced it like a $50/month newsletter subscription.

“AgentShield: Middleware for Robust Tool-Calling Stop selling monitoring; sell resilience. Build a LangChain/CrewAI SDK—a drop-in wrapper for functions that: Validates API responses against OpenAPI specs before they hit the LLM. Degrades Gracefully with structured error context to prevent hallucinations. Telemeters anonymized drift events to your backend. The Strategy: SDK: Open-source/Free (the "npm install" distribution wedge). Dashboard: $29/mo flat for drift history, alerts, and "Ecosystem Intelligence" (e.g., "Stripe’s beta endpoint is breaking 12% of agents"). Execution: Target Stripe, Shopify, and OpenAI for V1. Ship in 4 weeks. Your moat is the cross-ecosystem drift data—something Postman can't replicate. Low friction, high-gravity data.”

You're building a data moat that needs 10,000+ agents to matter on a 6-month clock before LangSmith eats this as a checkbox feature.

“AgentDocs: AI-Autonomous API Infrastructure In 2026, AI agents—not humans—are the primary consumers of APIs. Stale documentation causes "Agent Drift," leading to catastrophic LLM integration failures and broken workflows. The Concept: A self-healing documentation engine that lives in your CI/CD pipeline. It doesn't just generate human-readable Markdown; it generates Neural Manifests optimized for machine consumption. Core Features: Live-Sync Triage: Every PR triggers an AI audit that updates docs before code merges. Agent Sandbox: A virtual playground where your API is stress-tested by agents for 100% reliability. Manifest Injection: Automatically hosts optimized .ai-plugin specs. The Play: Target Fintech and Infrastructure where downtime is death. Price: $499/repo/mo. Sell "Agent Compatibility," not just docs.”

You coined "Agent Drift" before finding a single customer who's experienced it — meanwhile a solo dev on Reddit is already building your MVP cheaper.

“ActReady The Problem: Non-compliance costs up to €35M (or 7% of revenue). Law firms charge €50k+ to draft these documents manually, which is unaffordable for small teams.”

You're building TurboTax for a tax that nobody's filed yet — and someone already built the same TurboTax.

“Shopify/WooCommerce A/B Test Log In 2026, Shopify Plus fees have climbed to a $2,500/month floor, making merchants hyper-sensitive to "app sprawl" and conversion leaks. Most mid-market stores don't use heavy split-testing tools like Optimizely; they "cowboy code" changes—tweaking a price or a CTA—and then wonder why sales dipped two days later.”

You're selling a smoke detector to people who are angry about their electricity bill—and the landlord might install one free.

“FranchiseFlow Local is a local-first SaaS for 5–10 location franchises trapped in "Manual Data Hell." In 2026, labor costs make hiring "Ops Coordinators" ($60k/yr) to manage spreadsheets unsustainable.”

You've built a beautiful architectural thesis looking for a franchise owner who'll never read it.
