1. Describe the problem:
I am a researcher/developer. To start a truly innovative project, I need to know what has already been done in my field. Existing search engines (including specialized academic ones) and AI do not provide an exhaustive overview of existing projects, publications, or patents. This leads to the risk of wasting time developing something that already exists or has been disproven.
2. How often does the problem occur?
The problem arises at the beginning of every new project or research direction. This is the first and most critical step, which is currently the weakest link in the process.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
I try searching through specialized academic search engines and asking AI, but the results are incomplete and unreliable. There is no tool that aggregates information from all relevant sources (academic databases, patents, code repositories, startup databases) into a clear report on the "state of the art" in a specific, narrow field.
4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
The author indicated an amount of ~5€ for one comprehensive answer to a narrow query.
