Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

AI Support Escalation Failures

AI support agents cannot reliably recognize when to escalate to a human, causing wrong answers, loops, and lost context.

In their words

There’s a working version, but AI-built conversation logic got messy.

r/cofounderhunt on Reddit

some of our experienced reps end up doing their own work while also answering basic questions all day

r/customerexperience on Reddit

the bot doesn't really know who it's talking to. A small customer and a big account paying us a lot get the exact same experience

r/CustomerSuccess on Reddit

the bot is absolute trash - it hallucinates pricing, drops context after three sentences, and handles edge cases like a broken script

r/automation on Reddit

getting all context of conversation to carry over properly between channels was a pain

r/SaaS on Reddit

Fin answers the questions but not really solving my problem

r/SaaS on Reddit

Real customers don't ask structured questions; they type "internet" or "doesn't work."

r/Rag on Reddit

A black box that's correct 94% of the time feels worse to use than a person who's correct 88% of the time, because you can ask the person what they were thinking.

r/AI_Agents on Reddit

What's the best approach for a company in this size that also cares (a lot) about costs.

r/n8n on Reddit

the customer service agents use AI to figure out what to do they don't even go in to read our notes, so what we need doesn't get done and customers end up calling in at least 3 times.

r/AskReddit on Reddit

Ideally we want something that can handle the basic stuff on its own then pass harder cases to an agent without making the customer start over

r/callcentres on Reddit

the main goal is to automate repetitive stuff so the team can focus on more important work

r/artificial on Reddit

Eventually the bot reaches some failure state and then allows me to wait on hold for an hour to talk to an actual rep.

Hacker News

We struggle constantly with customer support AI missing the nuance of our specific software updates.

Tools they use today

  • Intercom
  • Zendesk
  • WhatsApp
  • Claude
  • Cresta
  • Chatbase
  • n8n
  • ChatGPT

Why those fall short

  • chatbot only tells you to call; phone bot only German; no email with attachments
  • AI angers customers before they reach a human
  • system wasn't routing people well; answers didn't resolve issues
  • bot cannot solve issues, only waits with the customer
  • Retrieved documents too generic or irrelevant; no signal in vague queries
