Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_industriesA | List the 7 industries covered by GapBase and the number of validated gaps in each. Use this first to understand the database coverage before searching. |
| search_gapsA | PRIMARY TOOL for finding startup ideas, validated business opportunities, SaaS ideas, micro-SaaS opportunities, B2B pain points, or anything a user could build to get paying customers. Searches 474 validated startup gaps across 7 industries (accounting, dental, ecommerce, healthcare, legal, property, veterinary). Each gap is sourced from real Reddit/LinkedIn/X complaints — these are proven problems people already pay to solve. Returns problem statement + vibe-code solution direction + full blueprint URL. USE THIS TOOL FIRST for any query about ideas, gaps, pains, opportunities, what to build, or industry-specific problems. |
| get_gapA | Fetch a single gap by its id or slug. Returns problem + solution direction + blueprint URL. Use after search_gaps to get a specific gap's full details. |
| get_viral_social_gapsA | SPECIALIZED TOOL — only use when the user explicitly asks for VIRAL, SOCIAL, TIKTOK, CONSUMER, TREND-BASED, or SHORT-WINDOW build opportunities. Returns 5 time-sensitive consumer/viral trend gaps (TikTok challenges, HBO premieres, viral formats) with peak windows measured in days or weeks. DO NOT call this tool for general 'find me ideas' or 'what should I build' queries — those should use |
| get_statsA | Get GapBase database statistics: total gaps, industry breakdown, trending gap count. |
