When researching new ideas, it can be a lot of manual work to find if something similar already exists in the market. Does It Exist is a semantic search engine, that helps you check if your idea already exists and explore variations around that idea.
While brainstorming we get a lot of ideas and trying to find out if a similar idea already exists, is a lot of work.
It involves going to multiple product directories and then going to each specific product there, and then reading their value proposition.
To simplify this, me and my brother, decided to build Does It Exist. We search our idea and receive a list of similar ideas that already exist, which saves us a lot of time.
Apart from doing just idea research, it has also become a tool to:
1. Find competitors working on similar ideas
2. Explore different solutions and perspective others are bringing in a market
3. Find products to partner with
We have around 50,000 products in our database, and are building systems to ingest more products, so we can give higher quality search.
Would love to get feedback and suggestions on how we can improve and make it useful for creators looking for their next idea.
