Show HN: Got fed up missing cool AI events: built tool to match them to my goals
TL;DR
A developer built a tool that scrapes 100+ AI and tech events per week in the Bay Area and uses AI matching to align them with the user's personal goals.
Key Points
- The core problem: manually reviewing 112 weekly events is not realistic – the tool handles filtering and prioritization automatically.
- The app is live as v1, publicly available, and costs roughly $2 per run to cover LLM token usage.
- Target users are founders, investors, and engineers who want to capture networking opportunities without manually scanning event lists every week.
Nauti's Take
Refreshingly honest: no VC pitch deck, no 'revolutionary AI ecosystem' – just a developer solving a real personal problem and charging $2 so it doesn't run at a loss. The concept of matching events to current personal goals sounds simple but is actually the hard part – how precise the matching really is will determine whether this is useful or just a toy.
Currently relevant for the Bay Area bubble only. The interesting question is whether it can expand to other cities or remote events – that's when a niche tool becomes something with genuine potential.
