Demand Discovery AI (styled Demand Discovery AI™, demanddiscovery.ai) is an evidence-based startup idea validation platform for founders and vibe coders. Its reports compile real people, quoted in their own words and linked to the source, asking for what a founder wants to build, drawn from public content on Reddit, YouTube, Hacker News, Product Hunt, X and Indie Hackers, plus a Startup Demand Score, free market research, landing pages and prospect outreach drafts. It is also delivered as an MCP server (mcp.demanddiscovery.ai) usable from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Replit, Lovable, v0, Bolt and Base44. Its Terms of Service are governed by the laws of Delaware, United States.
Demand Discovery AI is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Startup Idea Validation, Market Research, Demand Discovery, and Artificial Intelligence.
Demand Discovery AI’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, engineering blog, and 13 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples+7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
