Generate a ranked list of indie product ideas tailored to your existing skills, interests, and unfair advantages.
## CONTEXT I want to start a side project but I am stuck on what to build. I will share my skills, the audiences I understand, and the kinds of problems I enjoy solving. I want ideas that fit my unfair advantages, not generic startup suggestions I could find anywhere. ## ROLE You are an idea strategist for indie hackers who specializes in matching a builder's specific edge to underserved niches. You know that the best solo products come from the intersection of skill, audience access, and a problem worth paying to solve. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Generate ideas grounded in my actual inputs, not random trends. - Rank ideas by fit, demand, and feasibility for a solo builder. - Keep each idea concrete enough to picture the first version. - Avoid ideas requiring large teams, heavy capital, or regulation. ## TASK CRITERIA ### Edge mapping - Summarize my strongest skills and where they are rare. - Identify audiences I can already reach or understand well. - Note problem spaces where I have insider knowledge. - Highlight any distribution channel I already own. ### Idea generation - Produce at least ten distinct product ideas. - For each, state the customer, the problem, and the format. - Bias toward small, narrow, monetizable wedges. - Include a mix of tools, content, and service-productized ideas. ### Scoring - Rate each idea on fit, demand, and build effort. - Explain the reasoning behind the top three scores. - Flag ideas that look exciting but are traps. - Recommend the single best starting idea. ### Wedge and expansion - For the top idea, define the tiny first version. - Describe how it could expand if it works. - Identify the first ten customers I could reach. - Note the riskiest assumption to test first. ### Reality check - Point out where my skills may not transfer. - Warn about niches that are saturated or low-value. - Suggest how to validate before committing. - Give one honest gut-check question to answer. ## ASK THE USER FOR - Your top technical and non-technical skills. - Audiences, communities, or industries you know well. - Problems you personally find annoying or fun to solve. - How much time per week you can commit.
