# Ideas you can steal

We’ve got some spicy ideas for you to snatch, tweak, and turn into pure gold.

#### Let’s roll!

### 1. A Safer Plaid for Web3

***Problem:*** Old-school finance apps (like Plaid) make you share private login details, which is risky.

***Fix:*** Make a Web3 version using Persona Protocol.

Let users control their own data - like bank accounts, crypto wallets, and taxes - in a secure Persona Repository.

Apps only get simple summaries (like “can they pay?” or “how much do they spend?”) instead of everything. Use privacy tech (ZK-proofs) to prove stuff like income or wealth without showing the details.

### 2. Smart AI Helpers That Really Know You

***Problem:*** AI like ChatGPT doesn’t know much about you unless you tell it every time.

***Fix:*** Build AI agents that grab info from Persona - like your travel plans from Gmail or your crypto habits from your wallet.

They’d act like a personal assistant, booking trips, picking investments, or finding cool NFTs, all based on what you like, not creepy tracking.

### 3. Hiring Web3 Devs with Proof They’re Good

***Problem:*** It’s hard to hire Web3 talent - resumes can lie, and GitHub doesn’t show the full picture.

***Fix:*** Create a hiring site using Persona to make verified “reputation proofs”:

* *Code Score:* Combines GitHub work, Gitcoin projects, and protocol contributions.
* *DAO Score:* Tracks votes, posts, and wins in Web3 communities.
* *Skill Badges:* Privacy-proofed certificates for skills like Solidity coding.

### 4. Trust Boost for India’s ONDC

***Problem:*** India’s Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) needs trust to beat Amazon. Sellers’ reputations don’t move between platforms.

***Fix:*** Use Persona to pull together seller info (orders, returns, ratings) into one reputation score. Build a system that:

* Gives a “Seller Trust Score” based on speed, quality, and happy customers.
* Lets buyers pick sellers with verified perks (like “real handmade goods” proven by supply chain data).

#### **Grab These, Build These**
