Fictional idea: mobile bike repair for office commutersIllustration

Pivot

58 / 100

Commuters want it, but one-off call-outs leave too much of the day on the road.

The catch
Travel between jobs takes longer than the repairs themselves.
Kill criteria
  • Fewer than 2 of 10 office managers agree to a trial morning
  • Most bookings need more than 30 minutes of travel
Next step
Ask three office buildings to host a weekly repair morning.

Questions

Where do the facts come from, and how accurate are they?
Aether researches your idea on the live web. Facts link to the pages they came from, and the source list is built from the pages the research actually read. Estimates are labelled, and a “What the AI guessed” list shows the claims to check. It is still AI-generated research: facts may be wrong, so verify anything important before relying on it.
How long does it take?
Usually about 15 minutes after payment clears. We email you a private link when your report is ready. If we cannot deliver a report, we refund it in full.
What if the report is not useful?
Tell us within 14 days. We will offer to fix it or refund you, and your first refund request is honoured. Reply to your report email or write to [support@your-domain]. See the refund policy.
Is this financial, investment or legal advice?
No. Not financial, investment, legal or tax advice. Aether gives you AI-generated market research to help you decide what to test next. For decisions with real financial or legal risk, talk to a qualified professional.
Which AI writes the reports?
Reports are generated with Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic. Aether is an independent product, not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
Is my idea kept private?
Your report lives at a private link that cannot be guessed, and report pages are hidden from search engines. Your idea is never used to train AI models. Reports and the email address you order with are deleted 24 months after delivery. Details are in the privacy policy.
Who handles the payment?
[Merchant of record], our reseller and merchant of record, processes your payment, handles sales tax or VAT and sends your receipt. The charge appears on your card statement as [Name on card statements]. You pay once; there is no subscription.
Who is Aether for?
First-time founders, side-project builders and people starting a small business who want a sourced first read on an idea before spending months on it. It works for local services as well as online products. It does not replace talking to customers: the report tells you what to test first.
