Ideas that keep coming back
pulse mines Reddit for startup ideas and pain points, deeply analyzes the survivors with AI grounded in live web data, and tracks how often each idea resurfaces. “Surfaced 11× across 7 subs in 5 months” beats any single upvote.
Cheap, then deep
A free heuristic pre-filter plus an Opus-4.8 classifier discard the noise, so only real ideas reach expensive deep analysis.
Recurrence tracking
pgvector fingerprints every idea and counts how often the same pain point resurfaces across subreddits and over time — the headline signal.
Grounded, dual-evaluated
Each survivor gets a web-grounded feasibility analysis, re-checked by two independent evaluators. Only ideas that clear both are published.
How pulse works
Four bounded, resumable stages run continuously — cheap where it can be, deep where it matters.
- 1
Listen
Poll a curated, growing set of subreddits over RSS, de-duplicated globally so nothing is processed twice.
- 2
Filter
Keep only genuine business, app, and startup ideas using a strict AI schema — the rest is discarded cheaply.
- 3
Correlate
Fingerprint each idea and count how often it recurs across communities and months. Repetition is validation.
- 4
Analyze
Deeply analyze survivors, grounded in live web search, dual-evaluate, then publish the ones that clear the bar.
