What It Does
You run one command. The plugin asks you 5 plain-English questions about your business, scans your workspace, and hands you a prioritized list of AI opportunities you're missing — ranked by revenue impact, capital savings, and how easy they are to ship.
It's automating a finding from Kim, Kim & Koning (2026): businesses shown how other companies reorganize around AI discover 44% more AI use cases, generate 1.9x higher revenue, and need 39% less capital than the control group. The bottleneck isn't AI capability. It's knowing where to deploy it.
Who It's For
✅ Small business owners, solopreneurs, founders, and operators ✅ Anyone using AI but unsure what else to automate ✅ Consultants and agencies doing discovery for clients ❌ Not a good fit if you already have a dedicated AI strategy team

The Research
Kim, H., Kim, D., & Koning, R. (2026). Mapping AI into Production: A Field Experiment on Firm Performance. INSEAD Working Paper No. 2026/20/STR.
Key findings across 515 startups:
- +44% more AI use cases discovered
- +12% more tasks completed
- +18% more likely to acquire paying customers
- 1.9x higher revenue
- -39% capital required
- No increase in labor demand
- Gains largest at the 90th percentile — AI amplifies winners
The core insight: The bottleneck is discovering where to deploy AI, not AI capability. This plugin automates that discovery so you don't have to read the paper or hire a consultant to apply the finding.
