PortPilot

PortPilot is a mobile + web app that prevents wrong cable/adapter purchases by turning confusing specs into a simple compatibility check. You scan a device’s ports (or pick the model), then scan a cable/adapter barcode or product link. The app outputs a clear “Will it work?” result with specifics: max charging wattage, data speed (USB 2.0/3.x/4), video support (Alt Mode, HDMI/DP), and common gotchas (e.g., “charging-only cable,” “no Thunderbolt,” “needs e-marker”). It also suggests verified alternatives at different price points and warns about sketchy listings. This is not glamorous, but it targets a constant, expensive annoyance for consumers and IT buyers. Monetization is affiliate revenue + a small B2B plan for teams that buy lots of accessories and want standardized recommendations and purchase links.
