Ache - demand finder

Judge whether a forum thread is a real recurring pain and whether anyone in it is ready to pay. Requires your own API key.

Ache reads the forum thread the user is viewing and reports whether it describes a real recurring problem and whether anyone in it is close to paying for a solution. WHAT IT DOES • Says whether a thread describes a real recurring problem or a one-off complaint • Scores separately whether anyone would pay to fix it • Flags posts that are promoting the writer's own product • Highlights the individual comments carrying buying intent • Keeps a findings list grouped by community, with export to Markdown or CSV WHAT IT WILL NOT DO Ache never posts, votes or replies. It reads and reports. It never reads what you type. It will tell you when a thread is a real problem that nobody will pay to solve, which is the answer more often than it is comfortable. PRIVACY Ache has no account and no server of ours. To produce a judgment it sends the site and community, the thread title and post text, the top comments, the post age and the comment count to TypeSafe, whose Jev model produces the judgment, using a TypeSafe API key you supply and pay for directly. Nothing is sent anywhere else, nothing is stored off your machine, and nothing is used for advertising or to train any model. The only other network request is verifying your licence key with Gumroad. FREE AND PAID Free covers the judgment itself, on every page, with no limit: judgments are never metered, because you are already paying for your own inference. One payment of $4.99 unlocks grouping and sorting your findings, search, your own notes, and export to Markdown or CSV. No subscription.
