Docs saver An app where you can store electronic copies of your documents, such as ID, tax number, insurance, whatever. Encrypted. Stores high-quality PDF. You can send docs in any moment if necessary. And the most important part: the app allows to export all the data.

Person finder extension A browser extension that shows you information about a person you're reading about on a web page. For instance, you read a text about an online course you're gonna take, you see a course author, and immediately see this text highlighted so you can click/hover on it and see this person's biography. Or, when you read the news and don't know who are all these people they talk about.

Opportunity: health care optimization How many industries do you think can be optimized by involving technology to increase their efficiency? For instance, let's take health care system. As described by TechOpinions, “the actual medical care system is not significantly more efficient than it was 10 or 20 years ago. Yes, there are now electronic medical records, and some consumers have access to their health history online. But the process of booking appointments, getting a referral, determining the price of a service, or determining the efficacy of a physician or the quality of a hospital or other treatment facility remains a rather arcane process.” While capital intensive, is there a potential alternative or opportunity to roll-up a healthcare system in a rural part of the country and begin experimenting with tech optimization? There are currently over 6,090 hospitals in the United States with 2,946 Nongovernment Not-for-Profit Community Hospitals and 1,233 Investor-Owned (For-Profit) Community Hospitals. Given that there is a market, this business would double-down on capturing a larger more efficient share of the investor-owned community hospitals that exist. We had an idea posted here about ERP systems that are super outdated, expensive, time-consuming, but health care units use them because of conservative monopoly in the market. There are still businesses in, for example, rural areas where you can implement such a system, which will be not so expensive, more efficient, user-friendly, and yield the profits.

Solve my pains A platform where people that work in various industries share their daily pains and problems that they think could be better handled. It allows business-minded people to consider new ideas and approaches to help people that have real problems. On the platform, I, as a user, can create a topic about what annoys me at my work daily. Other users see my topic and can discuss the problem too. Someone will say they have a similar problem and maybe it was solved. Or, the problem wasn't solved and a company is looking for a way to handle it. Maybe people can share their opinions on that.

Trends monitoring by industry A tool that helps you to see current trends divided by industry. They are aggregated from various sources such as social networks' activity, news, etc. Since such tools exist, not many of them provide a possibility to search for trends in a particular industry, category, niche, or all of that, plus a search term.

Article to Instagram image Many people use Instagram as an additional or main source in their marketing. It turns out the process isn't convenient because it's time-consuming to convert useful information into images. You should google for the right image dimensions for Instagram, then design those, fit huge amounts of info there. What if we had a tool for that? You put information there and the tool converts it to the images that can be posted on Instagram. A few clicks instead of a few hours for someone.

Real-world opportunities from Reddit posts. I'm attaching links to the source posts with comments below each opportunity. Basically I'm an outbound call salesman, and I make about 100 calls a day. I don't absolutely hate it, but it's something I could definitely streamline if I could talk to someone about automation. For example, i leave about 40+ voicemails a day and I was wanting to make an mp3 file I could just play when i get a voicemail. Source ———————————- Over the last few years I have developed a bit of an anxiety over unknown callers to my phone. This actually all stems from my mom passing away at the hospital and the hospital trying to reach me from an unknown number during CPR.How can I make it so that whenever someone calls my personal cell phone number, an automated voice message says, to speak with “MyName” press one, And then my phone would ring. This would eliminate 80% of the phone calls that I receive a day. I just want the caller to have to press a number to then be connected to me. Source ———————————- This is always a tedious process. I have to create a case, copy and paste the text into the Salesforce email, attach the Monthly Summary Statement, copy and paste the email address of the account contact and send. Then I have to notate in the comment section that I sent the monthly summary statement (current or past due). Finally I close the case. The comments gets transferred over to our database overnight. There has to be an easier way to do this! Even just using Outlook alone would be easier, having to do this in Salesforce just doubles the work but we are required to use Salesforce to send out emails. Source ———————————- For work I have to do a simple task on a daily basis that just screams: "automate me!" What I have to do: I have between 1 and 6 CSV files with slightly different names that I open in Notepad++, convert to UTF-8 and then save. So I have two questions about this process: Can this be automated? (I'm pretty sure it can) Can I do this with Python and is this a good exercise for a complete beginner? If there is another programming language that is better suited for this I would still like to try it with Python for training purposes. Source

Move to listen An app that plays podcasts only when you're moving. It's useful when you go running or do some physical activity. To finish a podcast you need to keep moving, there's no other way. The same logic may be applied to music. If your physical activity doesn't require permanent movement, you can configure allowable pause time. Say, you have 1 minute to rest and if you pause more than that time, the app stops playing podcast.

Educational platform A service that connects teachers and students. For teachers, the service helps to create educational materials without a need to promote them and find the right audience, that relies on the platform. For students, it helps to find educational materials, aggregates the courses. Therefore I, as a student, don’t need to grab a math course from Harvard, a biology course from Coursera and so on. The service helps to build an education plan. Why does it matter? Fundamentals are great to learn in school (mostly), but the further education in universities/colleges can be boring as there is a lot of non-practical, outdated information. Such situation creates an opportunity for the best teachers to teach other people who really need and want to be educated.

Auto presentations A tool that converts information into digestible slides of a presentation. It should split the data wisely and extract the important parts. In such a way, it delivers only information that people would benefit from the most. Why: it takes time to extract the important pieces of information from texts, charts, etc. Then, you need to pick a nice design for slides, fonts, colors. It can be automated.

Items rent from locals A platform where you could rent something from local people, not businesses. Say, you want to drive an electric bicycle, but don't want to buy it. It's simpler and cheaper to rent it from a local person that lives in 3 mins from you. There will be a rating, so you can see if a person you rent to/from is reliable.

Real-time book quotes A social app where people could share interesting quotes from books they're reading. As a user, I can add more context to the quote, describing my point of view on the quote. The users can see such quotes and notes in a real-time feed. Hence, it can be a source for them to find an interesting book to read. By clicking on a user-picked quote, I see other quotes and notes for this particular book. Or, for this particular user. I can follow users.

Training together Training programs (runners, cyclists, etc.) for couples with different levels but who want to train together. It should provide data synchronization across different devices - watches, desktops, smartphones. Why: such apps could encourage couples to train together. Or with friends. To transform training into a competition.

Health inspector An app that allows you to save and keep track of clinic records/visits, illness history. All the written records can be converted to a digital format, so it's okay when you forget the paper clinic records. The app could do that. The app is targeting the customers convenience, although there are ways to cooperate with businesses(clinics).

Modernized Floor Cleaning Equipment Problem: Dirty floors suck. This is a globally recognized phenomenon: according to Grandview Research, “The global floor cleaning equipment market size was valued at USD 5.38 billion in 2018 and projected to expand further at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2019 to 2025.” But what are the innovations and opportunities in this otherwise dirty market? Solution: In addition to sizing an absurdly large market, during their Floor Cleaning Equipment Industry Report, Grandview Research identified a few other notable trends. Namely, High-end cleaning demand: “Rising demand for high-end cleaning products is among the key factors responsible for the growth of this market.” This point has only been exacerbated by the global consciousness of the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact the global market is expected to grow at 11% per year over the next decade: largely due to germ-consciousness. Electric Machines: “The advent of electric machines and handles due to technological advancements in mopping system will also help boost the market growth.” In the consumer space, this includes products like the “Roomba,” which vacuums houses or apartments automatically. However, there is also the rise of other products like floor scrubbers, vacuum cleaners, floor sweepers, power washers, and more. All of these have the potential to be digitized. Ride-on and No-ride Models: “Moreover, the introduction of ride-on models of floor cleaners has resulted in increased demand, thereby fueling market development. The ride-on models are 60% more efficient than other products due to the reduction in forward motion by the operator, which reduces the intensity of the task.” While Grandview focuses on ‘ride-on’ models, my hunch is that the next generation of robotics will be entirely remote. Much like how Cobalt Robotics is on a mission to provide seamless robotic security services for all situations through self-driving and self-acting robots for security, this business would ideally do the in the cleaning space. Consumer Complexity: This market trend, one I completely overlooked, is best described by Grandview: “Use of different types of flooring materials also affects the product demand. For instance, flooring materials used in hospital wards, such as wood blocks or strips, require high maintenance and hygiene levels as these materials are porous and thus, the surface can have split between the strips or blocks retaining dust particles. Thus, increasing usage of flooring materials, such as of natural wood, stones, and rubber materials, has widened the scope of application for advanced floor cleaning products.”
