Find something worth building.

Hunting Apps searches the web for problems people already pay to solve, checks who sells a solution and at what price, and hands the ideas that hold up to your coding agent.

The start screen in Hunting Apps: find something to build from anywhere, from a proven app or from a GitHub engine, or work on a market, a product or a component.

Workflow

From a hunch to a repo.

AI agents do the legwork across the web. You decide what gets built.

Hunts

Say what you’re after. It plans the hunt.

Pick what you are starting from. Each kind of search runs its own plan and hands back its own result.

A From anywhere hunt: it took one market, passed on seven with its reasons, and suggests what to try next.
An REA hunt’s plan, every step done: find apps with proof of demand, cut at the gates, scan for weakness, classify where the value lives, size the rebuild, write a case for each.
A From a GitHub engine hunt: it passed on four markets and names the engines the probe missed.
A Size up a market hunt: five steps done, from finding the products to judging the idea against the map, ending in a market map document.
An Improve my product hunt for an ebook-to-audiobook converter: six steps done, ending in a feature plan in the project.
A Find a component hunt: restate the problem, search the repository index and GitHub, read the strongest, rank them and recommend one.

Projects

Build the case in a project.

A candidate you keep can become a project: its documents, the sources behind them, and a chat that has read both.

Documents

Plans drafted from the evidence

Every competitor it names links to the page it read. Edit anything; it saves as you type.

A feature plan in a project: each competitor it names links to the source page it was read from.

Chat

A chat that has read the project

It reads what is on file first, searches the web when that is not enough, and marks what it inferred. Attach your own files and it reads them too.

  • PDF
  • Word
  • Photo
  • Text
A project chat answer that marks every claim as from a source on file or as its own inference.

Handoff

FAQ

Common questions.

What is Hunting Apps?

Hunting Apps is an AI research tool for deciding what software to build. Its agents hunt the web for problems people already pay to solve, check who already sells a solution and at what price, and return a verdict (start, narrow or stop) with every source attached.

Who is Hunting Apps for?

People who can build with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Replit or Bolt, but do not know what is worth building. That includes indie hackers, developers looking for a side project, and non-coders.

How is it different from a list of startup ideas?

A list gives everyone the same ideas. Hunting Apps checks each idea against the market and what you pinned down, can tell you no, and shows every page it read so you can check the reasoning.

How does a hunt start?

You pick a kind of search: from anywhere, from a proven app or from a GitHub engine when you have nothing yet; or size up a market, improve your product or find a component when you do. You can add your own words and pin down what must hold, such as the field, the buyer and what to rule out. Pick no kind and the agent says which one it reads and waits. It then writes a numbered plan and works through it, and you can change the direction as it works.

Can it rebuild an app that already exists?

That is REA, Reverse Engineer Anything: it tells you whether one is worth rebuilding. It finds apps with proven demand and real weaknesses, or checks one you name, and writes a rebuild case from public pages only: the listing, pricing, docs and reviews. It never downloads or decompiles the app, and the case says not to copy its name, brand or icon.

Does Hunting Apps use AI, and can I check what it did?

Yes. Reasoning models make the judgement calls, and faster ones read and condense the sources. If a provider fails mid-run, the run continues on another and still finishes. Every page it read is kept with the run, so any claim can be opened and checked against its source. Ideas from Go further are marked invented and are never counted as evidence.

How much does it cost?

You can try a hunt and develop its results without a card. After that you pay per run and top up when you need more; there is no subscription. A run's price is held before it starts, only what it used is charged, and a run that fails is refunded. Your account page lists every price, your balance and each charge.

What happens when an idea is worth building?

It becomes a project with its documents, sources and an AI chat. When you are ready, Hunting Apps writes a build brief and pushes it to a public repository on your own GitHub account, with an AGENTS.md and a build plan your coding agent can start from.
