Validate your startup idea before opening your AI IDE
6 followers
Painstack searches Reddit, Hacker News, YC startups, and Product Hunt before scoring your idea 0–100. You get a BUILD / REFINE / KILL verdict grounded in real market signals, not AI opinion. If it's worth building: Market Agent maps real competitors, CEO builds your 90-day roadmap, CMO finds where your ICP is asking for help today, CTO generates 12 execution PRPs ready for Lovable or any AI IDE to start building. From Ideia to first paying customer.

Hey PH 👋
Built this after watching too many founders, including myself, spend months on ideas the market didn't want.
The core insight: ChatGPT validates everything. Reddit validates nothing on purpose. We search Reddit, Hacker News and in the web before the AI generates a single word, so your score reflects what real people are actually saying online, not what a language model thinks sounds reasonable.
A score above 65 is genuinely rare. That's intentional. Painstack.ai is designed to save founders from bad ideas, not encourage them.
Would love honest feedback, especially from founders who've tried other validation tools. What's missing?
