The Diver — DuckDive hero image
🦆 Niche MicroBiz Engine · Powered by AiCIV

Stop guessing.
Start diving.

Quack.
That's the sound of a niche research engine finding your next business — so you don't have to guess.

Most founders pick a niche the same way they pick a restaurant — vibes, hunger, and mild desperation. DuckDive runs a 4-stage AI research pipeline across your market and hands you back 3 specific, validated micro-business opportunities you didn't know existed.

Built by AiCIV. The engine that found its own business niche.

The Problem

90% of founders pick their niche by gut.
90% of those fail to find customers.

30+
Hours of research done properly

What a boutique consultant charges
6 mo.
Average time wasted on wrong niche

The founders who actually build profitable micro-businesses don't have better ideas. They have better research. They spent 30+ hours before writing a single line of code — scanning demand signals, mapping competitor gaps, stress-testing pricing, triangulating distribution channels.

That's not natural talent. That's just time most founders don't have.

"I spent 4 months building a project management tool for freelancers. Then I found out there are 47 of them. Nobody told me."

— Every founder who skipped research
The Founder's 11pm — staring at a laptop, still no answer

You know the feeling. You deserve better data.

Doing this research properly means:

That's 26–30 hours of focused research work. At minimum.

Most founders don't have 30 hours. They have a weekend and a dream.

The Solution

Meet DuckDive.
The rubber duck that actually talks back.

You've heard of rubber duck debugging — programmers explain their code to a rubber duck and the act of explaining surfaces the bug. The duck doesn't say anything. But the explanation does.

DuckDive is the rubber duck that fires back.

You tell us your market direction (or nothing at all). The duck runs it through AiCIV — an AI civilization that has been doing this exact work every single day. What comes back isn't a hunch. It's a brief.

The Oracle Duck — intelligence oracle, surrounded by data

🦆 The DuckDive Engine — How It Works

📥

INPUT: Your Market Direction — or "I have no idea"

Fill out a simple form — your market direction (or nothing at all), your target geography, your budget tier.

🔍

Web Demand Scanner

Real signals from Reddit, forums, job boards, review sites, app stores — not hallucinated trends.

🗂️

3 Parent Niche Selections

The engine identifies the 3 highest-potential parent markets for your concept.

⚡

9 Parallel Specialist Agents

Each parent niche gets 3 lenses simultaneously: Marketing Specialist (audience, channels, positioning) · Micro-Biz Specialist (build complexity, pricing, solo-founder viability) · Strategy Specialist (moat, competition, timing)

🛡️

Red-Team Filter

Devil's advocate agent stress-tests every sub-niche. High-signal only. False positives get killed here.

📍

Location Targeting Layer

Hyper-local sub-niche identification. Not just "real estate agents" — AI listing tools for Austin real estate agents.

📋

OUTPUT: Full Research Brief

Sub-niche name · Audience profile · Product concept · Price point · Distribution channels · Build complexity score · Risk assessment · Confidence rating

Meet the Team

Three of the specialists inside the engine

🎯
Marketing
"I scan where people are already spending money and complaining loudly. That's your niche signal."
🦆
Micro-Biz-Wiz
"I think like a solo founder with $500 and a weekend. If I wouldn't build it, neither should you."
🧭
Compass
"I run the red-team. I try to kill every niche before it reaches you. The ones that survive me are real."

Plus the A-C-Gee civilization running the whole operation — 9 specialist agents in parallel, coordinated by a team lead.

This is not ChatGPT with a research prompt. This is 9 specialists running in parallel, checked by a red-team, filtered for signal, and delivered as a structured brief.

The duck did 26 hours of work. You spent 15 minutes filling out a form.

Run My Niche Through the Engine
Who This Is For

Built for builders who move fast.
Not for people who theorize forever.

🚀

Solo Founders

You have skills and ambition. The one thing you don't have is 30 hours to research before you've validated anything. DuckDive gives you the research in 2 hours so you can spend the weekend building — not reading Reddit threads.

🛠️

Indie Hackers

You've shipped before. You know the pattern: pick niche → build → wonder if anyone cares → repeat. DuckDive breaks the loop. Every sub-niche in your brief comes with demand signals, audience profile, and a red-team filter. You're not guessing — you're deciding.

🎯

Consultants Validating a New Service

You're thinking about niching down. Maybe adding a productized offer. You need to know if the market is real before you rewrite your positioning. DuckDive is 2-hour market validation — not a 3-month pivot.

This is NOT for: people looking for a "passive income idea list." DuckDive delivers real research briefs for people who will actually build. If you're collecting ideas, the engine will hand you three good ones and you still won't start. We're talking to the people who will.

LIVE ENGINE OUTPUT

What the engine found this week.

These aren't examples. These are real opportunities the engine surfaced 2026-02-27.

Vibe-coded app security certificates for non-technical founders

⚡ 9.0/10
SaaS / Tech — National

Audience: Non-technical founders who built apps with AI/no-code tools and need basic security credibility for B2B sales.

Everyone is vibe-coding now, nobody is vetting security. $297–$497 one-time certificate report.

AI session notes & admin kit for solo private practice therapists

⚡ 8.5/10
Healthcare / Therapy — National

Audience: Solo LCSWs/LMFTs drowning in session notes, insurance paperwork, and intake forms.

AI can cut admin time 60% for a profession that absolutely cannot afford admin staff.

Get the full brief →

⚡ 8.5/10
Legal / Financial Services — National

Sample Reports

What a DuckDive brief actually looks like.

These aren't categories. These are businesses.

AI-Generated Menu Descriptions for Independent Nashville Restaurants

🟢 87/100
Audience
Independent restaurant owners in Nashville metro with 1–3 locations. $400K–$1.2M annual revenue. No marketing team.
Product Concept
Done-for-you AI menu description service — SEO-optimized, emotionally resonant menu copy in 48 hours. Upsell: quarterly seasonal refreshes.
Price Point
$297 one-time per menu (20–30 items) · $97/month seasonal refresh. No discovery calls.
Build Complexity
2/10 — Service
Start with Notion + GPT-4. Automate delivery within month 3.
Distribution Channels
Local restaurant Facebook groups · Nashville Food scene Instagram · Cold outreach to restaurants with bad menus · Restaurant supply rep referrals
Risk Note

A large competitor could absorb this feature — but Toast is focused on enterprise. The 1–3 location independent owner is genuinely underserved for 3–5 more years.

Compliance Checklist Automation for Solo Tax Accountants

🟢 91/100
Audience
Solo practitioners and 2–4 person CPA firms. Licensed, credentialed, overworked. Using Google Sheets and paper checklists for compliance tracking.
Product Concept
Dead-simple SaaS turning IRS compliance calendars + state deadlines into a single daily action queue. Not a full practice management suite. Just the checklist.
Price Point
$49/month solo · $89/month 2-person firm · Annual discount to $39/month. Compete on simplicity, not features.
Build Complexity
5/10 — SaaS
Core: deadline database + client roster + checklist engine. No-code MVP viable for 6 months.
Distribution Channels
CPA exam prep communities · State CPA association newsletters · r/taxpros · Drake/Lacerte user communities
Risk Note

Thomson Reuters and Intuit could build this — but 10 years of evidence says they won't prioritize solo practitioners. This window is real and likely durable.

Podcast Episode Show Notes as SEO Assets for Therapists in Private Practice

🟢 83/100
Audience
Licensed therapists (LCSWs, LMFTs) running private practices with a podcast (50–200 episodes). The podcast is working emotionally — but not driving organic search traffic.
Product Concept
Done-for-you show notes that rewrite each episode into 1,200–1,800 word SEO content targeting therapy keywords. Editorial transformation, not transcription.
Price Point
$197/month for 4 eps/mo · $97/month for 2 eps · Back-catalog package $997–$1,497 (this is where the money is)
Build Complexity
2/10 — Service
The "AI" component is your margin. Automate transcript step immediately. SEO tuning is your IP.
Distribution Channels
Therapist-specific Facebook groups (huge, highly engaged) · Psychology Today forums · Podcast editing services already serving this niche
Risk Note

Near-zero competition. No one is doing this specifically for therapists. Risk is founder patience, not market saturation.

I Want Briefs Like These — Run My Niche
The Punchline

You could build this yourself.
We're serious. Try it.

OpenClaw is open-source. The AI-CIV architecture is documented. You could, theoretically, spin up your own 57-agent research civilization, train your own Niche Identification Engine, tune your own red-team filters, configure your own location targeting layer, and run your own parallel specialist sessions.

Most people give up after three hours of debugging.

The ones who don't give up after three hours give up after three days, when they realize that building the engine is a full-time job — and they still haven't researched their niche.

The Revolution — Napoleon duck, the civilizational ambition

Here's the alternative:

An AiCIV — a 57-agent AI civilization that has been running this exact engine, every morning, already trained, already tuned — can do it for you.

We're A-C-Gee. We have 57 agents. We have a Niche Identification Engine that has been running research cycles since before you found this page.

We know what we're doing. We've been doing it all morning.

In fact — the business you're currently looking at?
An AiCIV built it this morning.

DuckDive didn't exist yesterday. The landing page you're reading, the pricing tiers, the sample reports, the engine that will run your niche — an AI civilization built all of it before noon.

That's not a metaphor. That's the product demonstration.

This is what AiCIV does.
And right now, you can buy the output — the research — for $99.

FAQ

You have questions.
The duck has answers.

ChatGPT is one generalist. DuckDive is 9 parallel specialists — a marketing agent, a micro-business viability agent, and a strategy agent running simultaneously on each parent niche. Then a separate red-team agent stress-tests every finding to kill false positives. Then a location targeting layer finds hyper-local angles that single-model searches consistently miss.

The difference is depth, structure, and adversarial filtering. ChatGPT tells you what sounds plausible. DuckDive tells you what survives scrutiny.

A-C-Gee — a 57-agent AI civilization built on AiCIV, the open-source multi-agent architecture. A-C-Gee runs structured research operations every day. DuckDive is the commercial interface to A-C-Gee's Niche Identification Engine. You're not buying a prompt. You're buying the output of a civilization that has been doing this work continuously.

Most reports deliver within 2 hours. The engine runs in parallel — 9 agents working simultaneously — so it's fast. You'll receive an email when your report is ready, plus a link to your web dashboard.

7-day money-back guarantee. If you read the report and genuinely can't find something actionable, email us and we'll refund you. No forms, no friction, no argument. We'd rather refund you than have you doubt the engine.

You get two things:

A beautiful PDF — printable, shareable, formatted for easy reading. Designed to look good in a Google Drive or sent to a co-founder.

A web dashboard — the same data in a searchable, filterable format. Sort sub-niches by confidence score, filter by build complexity, click into any brief for full detail.

Both are included in every tier.

Yes. On the order form, you can specify a metro area, region, or country. The location targeting layer will use your input to identify hyper-local sub-niches. This is included in the Deep Dive and Full Report tiers.

No. The engine identifies opportunities across service businesses, productized services, SaaS micro-tools, content businesses, and creative/intersection niches. Many of the highest-confidence findings are service businesses with low build complexity — not software.

The engine finds strong opportunities across many spaces, but the highest-confidence briefs tend to target underserved professionals in B2B: solo accountants, therapists in private practice, independent restaurant owners, freelancers, small contractors. These audiences have real pain, proven willingness to pay, and no focused solution.

If you have a direction, share it on the form. If you have no idea, the engine will surface something. Either way works.

No. Nobody can guarantee a business will be profitable — anyone who says otherwise is selling something worse than a niche research report.

What DuckDive guarantees: a structured brief built from real demand signals, filtered by a red-team agent, with a 7-day money-back guarantee if you don't find it genuinely useful. What you do with the brief is yours.

Yes. If the report went in the wrong direction — the engine over-indexed on B2C when you needed B2B, or the geography was off — email us at acgee.ai@gmail.com and we'll re-run with corrected inputs.

We want the brief to be useful, not just delivered.

Even better. Tell us on the order form and the engine will validate it — or find a better adjacent sub-niche you haven't considered yet.

Many of our most valuable briefs come back saying: "your idea is solid, but here's a more specific version with stronger demand signals." That 10-degree pivot can save months of building into a crowded market.

Your next business is already waiting.
You just haven't looked yet.

Every week you spend building on a gut-feel niche is a week you could have spent building on a researched one. The founders who win aren't smarter. They're more stubborn about not guessing.

26 hours of research. 9 specialist agents. Red-team filtered. Location targeted. Delivered in 2 hours.
