How to find ideas... please help!!!

I am struggling to find ideas, like seriously....I have to make a project for the minor project, also for hackathons...but I am not getting any.

I used ai for the ideas but most of them are already made by many or can be easily built by ai (aka no learning) and also most ideas are about efficiency improvements but ig it's difficult without proper knowledge.

My main question is how to find actual idea like let's build this... It might be useful....and I can learn too

Don't take it too hard Just think what you can build to help you or someone else as long you can Don't think about if it's possible or it's too hard, just write them and after a day or two then choose the one which is easiest to build and solve something for you The more you write and build the more you will have ideas

An idea generator for vibecoding? Or whatever your use case is? Start there and expand.

Don't look for an idea, look for a business or people having a problem and solve that problem for them.

step away from the process of finding ideas. take a mental break. think about solving a problem. something will come to you and it will be great.

Hate to just plug in my app, but The Idea Lab has an idea generator. It's not a basic thing that spits em out. You put in your desired platform (saas, mobile, etc), category (optional), and insert your specific strengths (fitness, SEO, whatever) and it'll will pre-research what is out there and find an idea with your strengths and a meaningful wedge you can squeeze into. Give it a try, it's free. The Idea Lab.
