Demandquake

How it works

Evidence first. Guesses labelled. No fake odds.

Demandquake suggests startups that don’t exist yet by reading what the internet is already saying — and shows you which parts come from real sources and which are the AI’s suggestions.

Step by step

From a question to a startup you can test

Eight steps in three phases. Each step is labelled so you know whether it’s based on sources, on AI reasoning, or on you.

Phase 1

Research

Find problems people already describe online.

  1. 01

    Plan the search

    AI

    Your question becomes a research plan: targeted searches for complaints, regulation, market news, technology shifts and explicit requests.

  2. 02

    Search the live web

    Observed

    Context.dev web and news search retrieves real publications — each stored with its link, publisher, publication date and when we read it.

  3. 03

    Pick out signals

    AI

    Each source is read for concrete signals: a complaint, a rule change, a funding round, a capability that didn’t exist before.

  4. 04

    Group into problems

    AI

    Signals from different sources are grouped into recurring problems. Evidence strength reflects how many independent sources agree.

Phase 2

Build

Turn a well-sourced problem into a startup idea.

  1. 05

    Check existing solutions

    Observed

    A second live search looks for companies already working on each problem. Only companies named in sources are listed; logos and profiles come from Context.dev and are only shown when the company clearly matches.

  2. 06

    Draft the startup

    AI

    A startup idea is designed around the evidence: name, solution, customers, business model, risks, pitch and a plan for testing it.

Phase 3

Grow

Claim the idea and keep an eye on the market.

  1. 07

    Watch for market changes

    Observed

    A market scan searches the news again and explains whether each new development strengthens or weakens the idea. Claimed workspaces re-check on their own when their evidence is over a week old.

  2. 08

    Claim and test it

    You

    Founders claim a startup into a private workspace with the research, assumptions and an experiment checklist — and can invite co-founders to edit it with them.

Reading a startup page

AI suggestions

Shown with a dashed purple outline. Names, solutions, prices, customers and plans are suggestions to start from — not findings.

AI hypothesis

Plain-word ratings

Six areas rated Strong, Moderate, Weak or Unvalidated, each with written reasons and sources. Never a success percentage.

Good to know

What Demandquake can’t tell you

  • People complaining online is not proof they’ll pay. Every startup starts as “Not validated with customers yet”.
  • Search coverage is broad but not complete. An empty competitor list means none were named in sources, not that none exist.
  • Publication dates come from the publisher. Undated pages are marked as undated rather than guessed.
  • Startup ideas are public and more than one founder can claim the same one — how you build it is what counts.
