Tinker Agent
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.
Core trick
Runs a nightly Claude Sonnet pipeline that researches competitors per idea and stores a build-or-skip verdict in Supabase.
Description
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. 🐙
README excerpt
This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/cli/create-next-app). ## Getting Started First, run the development server: ```bash npm run dev # or yarn dev # or pnpm dev # or bun dev ``` Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result. You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file. This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/fonts) to automatically optimize and load [Geist](https://vercel.com/font), a new font family for Vercel. ## Learn More To learn more about Next.js, take a look at the following resources: - [Next.js Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs) - learn about Next.js features and API. - [Learn Next.js](https://nextjs.org/learn) - an interactive Next.js tutorial. You can check out [the Next.js GitHub repository](https://github.com/vercel/next.js) - your feedback and contributions are welcome! ## Deploy on Vercel The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the [Vercel Platform](https://vercel.com/new?utm_medium=default-template&filter=next.js&utm_source=create-next-app&utm_campaign=create-next-app-readme) from the creators of Next.js. Check out our [Next.js deployment documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/deploying) for more details.
