Market research, from real conversations
Stop building things nobody wants.
Problem Scout reads thousands of real online discussions in your niche and shows you the problems people are asking someone to solve — ranked by how many people have them, how often they come up, and how much they hurt. Every problem arrives with the verbatim quotes that prove it.

I never know if a quote is fair — I just accept it and hope I'm not being ripped off

How it works
Step one
Point it at a niche
Give Problem Scout a market you're curious about. It validates the niche, generates the search phrases people actually use, and goes looking.
Step two
It reads what people write
The scout collects real discussions from public communities, forums, and Q&A sites, and extracts the passages where someone describes a problem — verbatim, never paraphrased.
Step three
You get a ranked map
Problems are grouped, scored by frequency, intensity, and search demand, and delivered with the exact quotes behind every ranking — so you can judge the evidence yourself.
Built for people betting their time on an idea
Early-stage founders
Validate before you build. Find the pain that's loud enough to pay for.
Leaving the 9-to-5
You get one runway. Spend it on a problem people already have, not one you hope they have.
Manual researchers
If you're already living in forum threads and spreadsheets, this is that — automated, ranked, and sourced.
Where the data comes from
Problem Scout collects only from sources it has the right to read: public communities and Q&A platforms accessed under their published terms, with robots.txt respected on every request and a full provenance trail behind every quote. Every ranking traces to real people's own words — collected lawfully, quoted verbatim, never invented.
