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. “This exact pain point surfaced 11× across 7 subs in 5 months” beats any single upvote count.
Cheap, then deep
A free heuristic pre-filter plus an Opus-4.8 classifier discard the noise, so only real ideas move on to 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.
