Most side-hustle advice ignores your actual constraints.

Search "side hustle ideas" and you get the same 30 generic listicles, none of which ask what you have to work with. A $20,000 dropshipping plan is useless to someone with $200 and 6 hours a week. A local pressure-washing route is useless to someone who wants to work from bed in another country.

HustleFinder AI starts from your situation instead: your budget, your schedule, your skills, your location, and what you'd actually consider worth doing. From there it matches you against a real, researched set of hustles across seven categories — local services, reselling, content creation, freelancing, digital products, small businesses, and online services — and explains exactly why each one made the list.

The plan for each match isn't a vague "just start a business" — it's the actual first steps, what to buy or sign up for, and the specific mistakes that trip up most beginners in that hustle.

This is an early, working version. The matching engine currently runs entirely on a hand-built dataset in the browser; the roadmap includes deeper AI-personalized plans, accounts, and real payments (see the code comments throughout the project for exactly where those connect).
