Idealab.ai turns problems found in news, research and patents into 1.2 million business ideas, each paired with the shift that makes it possible now. Browse free, find the one that fits what you know, and sharpen it in Labs.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Bill Gross. I've started more than 175 companies at Idealab since 1996.

Recently I watched AI outperform a brainstorming skill I had spent decades building. I could have kept it. Instead we scaled it and are giving it away.

What Idealab.ai does today:

1. Reads news, research and patents for problems people actually have, and pairs each with the shift that makes a solution possible now.

2. Turns them into more than 1.2 million business ideas you can search free.

3. Lets you sharpen any idea in Labs, or bring your own.

What it does not do: build the company for you. You decide, you build, you own the result.

Ideas are cheap now. What is scarce is the person whose experience makes them the right one to build a particular idea.

That is who this is for.

One question for you: which idea did you find that you would actually build, and what would stop you?

Yep, love the concept. Idealab was definitely ahead of its time!

I’d like to know how people here compare this to Idea Browser, as that’s where I usually get my researched and verified ideas to share with my startup community. 🤔
