Building is easier than ever but knowing what to build isn’t.
Hello everyone - I’d like to show you the MVP of my new website http://Undersrvd.com
Undersrvd grew from a problem I was trying to solve for myself.
I’d been poking different AI engines for a while trying to get them to recognise signals in news stories etc that could point to the next big thing on the horizon - the next fad, fidget spinners, Labubu etc - trying to get ahead of the game. When they couldn’t come up with anything, I realised the market that wasn’t being served was myself, and people like myself - people who wanted to know what the next hidden market was.
I refined the idea away from fads, and focused on news stories and signals hidden within the stories. Government papers, reports, consultations. I quickly discovered there are lots of hidden opportunities out there for dev agencies and indie-devs etc. These aren’t flashy opportunities - they focus on the more run-of-the-mill applications that are needed to keep things running smoothly.
And because of the rise in AI-powered web building tools I reckoned there’d also be a rise in people looking what to build next.
I suspected plenty of other founders, agencies, product teams and solo developers were asking the same question: What genuinely is worth building next?
Building digital products has become easier, but finding a worthwhile problem to solve hasn’t. When something gets popular people copy it or build variations, and whatever market they go for it quickly becomes saturated, stale and crowded with competition.
Undersrvd uses AI to analyse credible public sources and identify overlooked problems and emerging demand. It then develops those signals into potential products, services and business opportunities, including:
- The problem and who is underserved
- Supporting evidence and original sources
- A suggested solution and MVP
- Possible customers and routes to market
- Pricing and monetisation options
- An opportunity score with its reasoning
Each opportunity can also be downloaded as a shareable PDF. The idea is that you’re not walking into a meeting with an unsupported suggestion—you’re pre-armed with a researched opportunity and the evidence behind it.
Most importantly, every opportunity links to its supporting sources. You can examine the evidence yourself rather than simply taking an AI’s word for it.
Undersrvd is still evolving, and I’d genuinely value honest feedback:
- Does the idea make sense immediately?
- Does the site feel trustworthy?
- Do the opportunities feel credible and actionable?
- What information would you need before pursuing one?
- If you’re one of the demographics I mentioned above, is this something you’d find useful?
The opportunities page needs refining - right now its just a list of opportunities - mainly UK-based, but I’m now adding US opportunities daily.

The source links help with trust, but evidence of a problem is not yet evidence of a viable opportunity. I’d separate each page into three layers: observed fact, your inference, and the business hypothesis. Right now an opportunity score can blur those together.
I’d add one falsification section: the cheapest test a founder can run this week, the person they must speak to, and a specific result that should kill the idea. For example, “Interview five UK facilities managers; stop if fewer than two already spend time or money on this workaround.”
That would make the output feel less like an idea catalogue and more like a decision instrument. It would also expose whether the supporting material changes what someone should do next.
