🚀 Introducing AIdeator — Validate Your Startup Ideas Locally with AI

[zacharias1219]

Hey everyone 👋

I'm excited to officially introduce AIdeator — an open-source, local-first
AI idea validation engine I've been building over the past few weeks.

What is AIdeator?

AIdeator takes your raw startup or product idea and scores it across three
critical dimensions:

• 📈 Demand — Is there a real market for this?
• ⚔️ Competition — How saturated is the space?
• ⚠️ Risk — What are the key failure points?

Each dimension is scored 0–100, benchmarked against 12 reference SaaS products,
and exported as a clean markdown + HTML report.

Why local-first?

Most idea validation tools send your idea to external servers. AIdeator runs
entirely on your machine using Ollama by default — your ideas never leave
your system unless you explicitly choose a cloud provider.

Privacy Modes

Mode	External Calls	Best For
local-only	None	Full offline privacy
hybrid	Keywords only	Balanced signals
cloud-enabled	Full context	Maximum insight

Get Started

pip install aideator
aideator config init
aideator serve  # → http://localhost:8000

What's Next?

• Better multi-model consensus scoring
• Competitor deep-dive cards
• Export to PDF
• Community idea templates

I'd love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or just what ideas you've
been validating! Drop them below 👇
