Tinker Agent — Demo video

Tinker Agent is a 24/7 AI-powered idea research assistant that helps you decide what's worth building, before you write a single line of code. Drop in a startup idea, and the agent autonomously researches the competitive landscape, identifies your differentiation angle, generates an MVP spec, and delivers a clear build or NOT recommendation. Each idea gets a full research brief: market scan of existing solutions and their gaps, recommended tech stack, core features to ship, and a one-sentence rationale for the decision. Built with Next.js, Supabase, and Claude Sonnet, Tinker Agent runs as a nightly pipeline — surfacing a digest of researched ideas every morning. You can also trigger research on-demand and chat directly with the agent to pressure-test an idea, explore pricing strategies, or refine the MVP scope. A random idea generator powered by AI even helps you when you don't have inspiration :) The result: a living ideapad that thinks alongside you — so you spend less time on ideas that won't work, and more time building the ones that will. 🐙
