Medical prescription Finder SaaS/App collab Idea
New AI SaaS Idea: The Automated Pharmacy Finder Hey @everyone, I have way more ideas than I have time to build them. So, I'm open-sourcing this one to the community because I believe it's a massive opportunity for a team here to grab and run with. Who wants to build it? The Problem: The Pharmacy Runaround We've all seen or experienced this. You (or a loved one) go to fill a critical, life-saving medication—for diabetes, mental health, asthma, whatever—and the pharmacy is out of stock. What follows is a complete nightmare: - Hours wasted on the phone, driving around town. - Navigating endless automated phone menus ("Press 3 for the pharmacy..."). - Waiting on hold for 15 minutes, only to be told "no, we don't have it." - Repeating the same panicked conversation over and over again. For many, this isn't a minor inconvenience—it's a high-stress medical crisis where every hour counts. The Idea: "RxFinder AI" An AI agent that acts as a personal pharmacy concierge. It's simple: a user provides the medication name and their location, and the AI does all the legwork. Here’s the workflow: 1. Input: User submits the drug & their zip code on a simple interface. 2. Action: The AI uses a service like Twilio to start calling every pharmacy in the area, automatically navigating phone menus to reach a human. 3. Query: The conversational AI asks the staff the key questions: "Do you have X medication in Y dose in stock?" and "Can you fill it today?" 4. Result: The user gets a single, beautiful text message: "Success! Your prescription is available at the CVS on 5th & Main. We've confirmed they can fill it for you." Why This Wins This solves a high-emotion, high-value problem. People would gladly pay a one-time fee of $29 or $49 to make this crisis disappear instantly. The tech is feasible and the operational cost per search is incredibly low (probably $1-5). It's a high-margin, high-impact business waiting to be built. Let's Build This (Without Me!) I'm posting this for you all to take over. I will not be leading this project. My goal is to see a team from our community bring this to life.

Love love this idea and love the call routing logic aspect diversity search algo + stock degradation/decay factor 1. The "Chain-Hop" Routing Instead of calling every pharmacy in order of distance, we rotate chains to find stock faster or look at our past calls/data and use probalistic + decay/velocity bc some drugs move faster than others. Distance + time+ decay or just go off distance - Route 1:Call the closest CVS to user. If they say "No," don't call the next CVS. Jump to the closest Walgreens or call a cvs outside that zip code. Eventually you can treat some entities as clusters - Why: If one CVS is out, the local warehouse is likely empty(only after 2 fails within same company but diff zip codes - The Kill Switch: If two CVS locations in a row say "No," we auto-skip the rest of the CVS list and focus purely on other chains and Mom & Pops. 2. The "Decay" Tracker We treat inventory like melting ice, not a permanent rock. - The Nuance: The AI doesn't just ask "Do you have it?" It asks "Do you have enough for a 60 x 20mg XR generic or brand name?" Also could switch it up by asking "Do you have a 30-day supply?" but using that phrase with an older more naive voice because 30 days supply doesn't really quantify because 30 days for me is different than 30 days supply for someone else. - The Alternatives: If the specific brand is out, the AI immediately pivots: "Okay, no XR. Do you have Instant Release instead ?"(This follow-up question should be tested because it sounds very suspicious.) - The Timeline: We track the drain. The Result: We stop sending users to stores that used to have stock yesterday but are empty today. But also we'll have data on inventory turnover - basically I'm in it for the data and I'd love to see or realize patterns like opiates move much quicker during holidays or on Mondays --idk . I like the Monetization of the Shadow Inventory: Once this database hits critical mass (e.g., 10,000 calls a day), generate a "Heat Map" of shortages.

gamifying the script structure will also be fun it's like Guess Who where what is the one question that you can get the most data and context from? - AI Asks: "Oh, you're out? Bummer. Do you know when your next truck comes in? Thursday?" - The Metadata: restock_prediction_date. - The Gold Mine: Now you know to automatically schedule a call to this store on Thursday morning at 10 AM. You beat the crowd. Even the wait time should be recorded for the call, like: - the amount of time it takes for the live person to pick up - Then from answering to when you actually get the final answer The End Product: You aren't just telling the user "Yes/No." "Walgreens on Main St has it. But heads up—they only have the Brand Name (expensive), they are super busy right now, and they close in 30 mins."

Cereal Entrepreneur
Experience is in whole wheat and some granola cereal and if you enjoyed that joke we will get along great. If I'm going to be totally honest, I'm an opportunist. I enjoy making money in unconventional ways. I'm not a fan of the actual money but the process of doing it. The weirder the better. For cash flow and short term Looking to automating content . I'm really intrigued by repurposing content aspect Long term i'm actually pretty lost as to what i want to work on. Havent worked for about 4 years after i sold my project. My experience is in product development, community management, Web3, and oversharing. Open to collab i am also looking for a few workflows to be built out
