I am looking for a business idea. The goal is to find a high demand low supply area through innovation. It's a challenging task, because it also needs to be low investment(20 usd max to get started), fast return( the value offered by the service/product is fast and so is the payment).
In order to find innovative ideas I am thinking about human drives from a low level. Essentially, all high level desires we have stem from reinforced low level metrics. For example, we will feel drawn to call that pizza place that we ate that delicious pizza once because once I ate it months ago, it strongly tipped a homeostatic balance(or many) in the desired reaction, dopamine was released and the high level constructs of calling a pizza place, giving them money, opening the box, grabbing the pizza and shoving into my mouth became a charitable/high place in the high level world model. There are many such high places, usually at the confluence of many homeostatic balances working in tandem and creating complex behavior.
Given that framework, the homeostatic 'settings' of each person depends on their environment. A hungry person will feel strongly drawn towards pizza, there is little a starving person won't do to eat pizza but someone that has been overfed might feel disgust at the pizza. I am looking for a consistent(among most people) unoptimized metric(or set of metrics) to appeal to a broader audience.
Hormones and other molecules influence the balances themselves, for instance, high levels of testosterone might increase sex drive, which is a wide array of low level optimization metrics( attraction itself is an extremely complex amalgamation of low level signals that coagulate into high level sexual behavior, god knows what goes into a man finding a woman attractive, could be the voice pitch, the general outline of a smiling face, the general outline of the body and many other optimized visual signals which can lead to a cascade of the positive tipping of other optimization metrics, such as by releasing oxytocin which could lead to release dopamine reinforcing the activity, or by lowering stress levels and also positively tipping the body cortisol concentration to a better spot on the homeostatic scale and so on.
So not only the optimization metrics matter but also the modulators of those metrics that change the landscape of the metrics itself, transforming a point(just fed not hungry) into a long line(would do anything to eat, extreme of a range):
Another important aspect of the product/service appeal is how appealing it is. Not all things that tip various homeostatic balances positively will attract all people, some people will fail to connect the dots and because of never having experienced it before won't feel drawn to it, even though they would enjoy it if they did experience. This varies between people, some people might have been able to intuitively generalize to a certain extent the lower level optimization metrics underlying the vast array of activities that are driven by them, but that is a messy topic. So to simplify things I am looking for an intuitively appealing offer. A lot of this goes into how the product/service is described.
So to summarize, i am looking for a service/product:
1. That has never been offered
2.Fast to produce(1 week max, but assume i can work 5x faster than the average person though i can't control the speed of other things besides my work)
3. Fast turnaround(1 week max, preferably less)
4. Is very appealing
5. Strongly positively tips a consistent unoptimized metric or set of metric for most people
--------------------------
How can you help me? Follow this process, I want to see what results come out of this approach:
1. List ALL homeostatic balances that you can think of, an enormous list of all LOW level individual metrics that the body tries to maintain within a given range. As well as the modulators
2. Write me a python script that uses LLM instances to bruteforce this problem. We will create many homeostatic ‘profiles’, representing the demographics of the US.For each demographic we will create 5 or so profiles too, to account for variety. Then, for each persona there will be 3 homeostatic profiles: 1 for the morning, 1 for the afternoon and 1 for the night. What we will do then is identify the most common homeostatic metric deficits amongst all observed people. LLMs have been shown to be good simulators of the behavior of people, even to the point of replicating studies done with groups of humans.
3. Once we find the most common/continuous deficit among all people and rank them we can start thinking of products that fit the criteria previously established.
