“Need a Golf Trivia Game”
BirdieBrain 3000
“You just reinvented the wheel, except the wheel is a golf ball and it's already in the hole.”
An AI agent that generates, hosts, and scores golf trivia questions across categories like history, rules, major championships, and player stats.
Golf trivia is a solved problem with a dozen active apps and countless web implementations. The market is small but served — golf fans who want trivia already have options. The only angle worth pursuing is something hyper-specific like 'live trivia during PGA Tour broadcasts' or 'trivia tied to your actual round location via GPS.'

Your Survival Strategy
Go hyper-niche: build a live second-screen companion for PGA Tour broadcasts with real-time trivia tied to the exact shot being played, integrated with ShotLink data. That's a product ChatGPT can't replicate.
