StartupSonar analyzes Reddit discussions 24/7 to find hidden business opportunities. Built in 48 hours using AI, it turns social conversations into actionable startup ideas with market analysis, viability scores, and implementation roadmaps.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
Forty-eight hours ago, I had a crazy idea while scrolling r/Entrepreneur for the millionth time: "What if I could automate finding business opportunities from Reddit discussions?"
So I built StartupSonar - an AI-powered platform that scans Reddit 24/7, identifies real problems people are discussing, and turns them into actionable business ideas.
The 48-hour journey:
- Hour 1-8: Market research (ironically, mostly on Reddit)
- Hour 9-24: Built the AI analysis engine with OpenAI + n8n
- Hour 25-40: Developed the web platform with Laravel + Scout
- Hour 41-48: Deployed and tested with real data
What makes it different:
✅ Real problems from real people (not AI hallucinations)
✅ Complete market analysis for each opportunity
✅ Viability scoring based on engagement metrics
✅ Implementation roadmaps with cost estimates
✅ Updated daily with fresh opportunities
The meta twist: This platform literally found its own business idea by analyzing Reddit posts about people wanting better business ideas 🤯
I'm giving free access to the first 100 Product Hunt community members who want to check it out!
What do you think? Too crazy or crazy enough?

Tech stack for the curious: Laravel + Scout + OpenAI + n8n + Meilisearch
