Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between "I have a topic" and "Generate one for me"?

"I have a topic" runs your own typed idea through the full validation pipeline immediately. "Generate one for me" skips the typing — seed it from your top skill, your top hobby, or live trending signals instead, and the platform picks the direction.

What does "real" vs "estimated" data mean on a result?

Every result is built from a mix of real market data (search volume, competition, pricing, and real complaint threads pulled from actual forums and marketplaces) and AI reasoning that fills gaps where live data isn't available for that specific search. Results are always honest about which is which — you'll see this reflected in each idea's grounding.

What categories does it cover?

Books, Products, Services, Technology Products, and a Discovery mode that surfaces what's trending across the web right now, independent of any category you pick.

How current is Discovery's data?

Discovery refreshes every 4 hours. If you search again within that window, you'll see the same picks with a note showing exactly when the next refresh happens — that's by design, not a bug, since regenerating on every click would be wasteful for data that hasn't actually changed yet.

What is "Deep Validate" / the Amazon button on a result?

For Books and Products ideas, you can pull real, current Amazon listing data (price, rating, review counts) for that exact idea — either automatically in the background, or via a one-click "Validate on Amazon.com" button that captures live data through our browser extension.

Is my data private?

Yes — see our Privacy Policy for the full detail. In short: we don't sell your data, and the browser extension only ever reads what's already visible on a page you explicitly open from our app.

Is this free?

Yes, currently — DIDEAS is in early access. Paid tiers with higher usage limits are planned for the future; nothing about your access today will disappear without clear notice first.
