Overview

Ideas AI, built by Pieter Levels, publishes startup ideas generated entirely by AI – currently using xAI’s Grok – with no human authorship, ranked by more than two million people voting ideas up or down.

The voting layer is what makes it more than a novelty generator. Any model will produce endless plausible-sounding business ideas; the interesting signal is which ones strangers thought were worth building. Two million judgements is a substantial filter, and it surfaces the difference between an idea that reads well and one that makes someone think about actually doing it.

Treat it as a prompt for your own thinking rather than a shortlist. Generated ideas carry no market research, no check on whether the thing already exists, and no assessment of whether it can be built profitably – and the ones that read most cleanly are often clean precisely because the hard part has been left out. Free to browse.
