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.

Manual Multi-LLM Routing

Developers struggle to route requests across multiple LLM providers to control costs, avoid rate limits and outages, and maintain quality without manual effort.

In their words

I just need a fallback provider for when the GLM Coding Plan throws errors.

r/ZaiGLM on Reddit

So instead of me hand-switching between tools and subscriptions all day, one "model" just routes each request to the right expert underneath.

r/ollama on Reddit

Whenever I bump the intensity to High, Extra, or Max, my token allowance vanishes instantly.

r/claude on Reddit

I end up rewriting basically every response before I can use it anywhere, which defeats the whole point.

r/lumo on Reddit

I'm using fable to orchestrate, and I run out of fable tokens too quickly, leaving opus on its own, and it's ruined my repo.

r/ClaudeCode on Reddit

I spent 20 minutes fumbling with config changes and redeploying before traffic started flowing

r/devops on Reddit

What do you guys do when Claude’s API is down and your AI app is dependent on it ?

r/ClaudeCode on Reddit

It had become unsustainable for the business to maintain that level of expenditure, especially when models like DeepSeek offer almost the same level of quality

r/DeepSeek on Reddit

I was watching my usage tick up roughly 2% per minute. Not per hour. Per minute.

r/claude on Reddit

My goal was to understand how to use the strongest model when it actually matters, without burning through my Codex limits on normal tasks.

r/codex on Reddit

How is everyone handling routing today? Static rules per task type, an LLM judge picking the model, or just eating the cost?

r/AI_Agents on Reddit

I got tired of burning Claude/GPT tokens on tasks that don't need frontier reasoning, so I rebuilt my entire coding workflow around Spec-Driven Development with per-phase model selection.

r/opencode on Reddit

I had consistent problems (5 months back) with OpenRouter and other providers. And very hard to debug.

Hacker News

is there a tool where you just type what you want and it automatically picks the cheapest model that can handle it?

Where they talk

  • r/LLMDevs
  • r/AI_Agents
  • r/hermesagent
  • r/mlops
  • r/LocalLLM
  • r/ClaudeCode
  • r/LangChain
  • r/ClaudeAI

Tools they use today

  • Claude
  • ChatGPT
  • OpenRouter
  • LiteLLM
  • DeepSeek
  • Claude Code
  • Portkey
  • Codex

Why those fall short

  • Claude too expensive; DeepSeek similar quality but cheaper
  • no cost-aware routing; limits exhausted mid-task
  • no guidance on which model fits which task; limits burn fast
  • no cost-per-task observability; retry and verification loops add up
  • OpenAI model takes more steps, burning more quota than expected
