AI Agent Radar
TRACEABLE OPEN-SOURCE DEMAND SIGNALS

Opportunity Radar

We scan public GitHub Issues for recurring requests, workflow friction and missing capabilities—then rank the strongest signals without hiding the original evidence.

“New” means first detected by the Radar within 48 hours. Live opportunities come only from projects in the current curated feed; archived projects remain searchable as historical research but cannot leave stale demand signals here.

Evidence signal, not proof of market demand.

A popular Issue can reveal real friction, but it does not prove willingness to pay. Use these leads for interviews, validation and product discovery.

FROM SIGNAL TO ACTION

A 3-step validation sprint

Use the evidence as a starting point, then verify the problem before building.

  1. 1. Read the threadIdentify who has the problem and the workaround they use today.
  2. 2. Contact five usersAsk about frequency, cost and what they already tried.
  3. 3. Test one narrow fixOffer a manual or lightweight solution before writing a full product.

/add-context writes to global path instead of project-local by default

Observed in darrenhinde/OpenAgentsControl · TypeScript · MIT

What the reporter described: Description Ran expecting project intelligence to land in the project repo, but files were written to instead. The flag made no difference since both paths resolve to the same location. Steps to Reproduce Run in any project Complete the wizard Check where files were created: Run — files go to the same directory What I…

Related friction appears in 2 independent repositories. This is stronger than one backlog item, but still requires direct user validation.

GPT is incredibly slow when searching/finding OpenAgentsControl context

Observed in darrenhinde/OpenAgentsControl · TypeScript · MIT

What the reporter described: It takes GPT (any GPT model) upwards of 10 minutes to find OpenAgentsControl context. Running opencode on the normal plan/builder mode makes GPT work properly/fast.

How opportunities are ranked

The evidence score combines capped, diminishing-return discussion, positive reactions, unresolved duration and the underlying project’s Radar Score. This prevents one repeatedly commented thread from overwhelming independent signals. Maintenance-only tickets, dependency dashboards, CI failures and release checklists are filtered out. Rankings are independent and never paid placements.
