Just-In-Time Learning AI
Teach me only what I need. Nothing more.
The Problem
Most learning tools give you a curriculum — 40 hours of content to learn one thing you needed in 20 minutes. You spend tokens on knowledge you'll never use. Your brain fills up. Your output suffers.
The Idea
An AI that asks: "What are you trying to build or do?" Then gives you exactly what you need to do it — and stops. No courses, no curriculum, no fluff. Just-in-time knowledge, scoped precisely to your current goal.
How It Works
- User inputs a specific goal: "I want to build a SaaS payment flow with Stripe"
- AI maps the minimum knowledge required
- Delivers it as an interactive guide — only the concepts you need
- Checks comprehension before advancing
- Stops when you have what you need
Business Model
Freemium. 3 goals/month free. Unlimited at $9/mo. Enterprise API for dev tools and coding assistants.
Stack Suggestion
Next.js + OpenAI / Anthropic API + Supabase for user state. Could be bootstrapped in 2-4 weeks by a solo dev.
Token Budget Tracker
Plan your day by cognitive load, not just time.
The Problem
You plan your day with time blocks. But time isn't the real constraint — cognitive load is. A 30-minute argument drains you more than 2 hours of deep work. Nobody tracks that.
The Idea
A daily planner where every task has a "token cost" based on type. Creative work, social interactions, decision-making, learning, administrative — each category has a different drain rate. You set a daily budget and the app tells you when you're close to empty before you schedule something that will break you.
How It Works
- Morning: schedule your day, assign tasks to categories
- App calculates total token cost of your day
- Warns you if you're over budget before 9am
- Evening: reflect on actual drain vs. predicted
- Over time: learn your real token costs per activity
Business Model
Free app. Premium at $4.99/mo for analytics, custom categories, and team features (shared token budgets for managers).
Stack Suggestion
React Native / Flutter for mobile. Firebase for sync. Simple enough to ship in 3-4 weeks solo.
