One-click bulk eraser for all Google My Activity surfaces

AI-discovered

Problem

Google splits a user's personal activity history across 67 separate product surfaces in My Activity, each with its own manual deletion flow. Privacy-conscious users must repeat the delete ritual everywhere by hand, so nobody actually keeps their history clean.

Opportunity

A privacy dashboard that discovers every activity surface in a Google account and performs scheduled, verified one-click bulk deletion across all of them, turning a 67-step chore into a single recurring action.

Market analysis

The gap is real and nobody owns cross-surface deletion, but Google exposes no public API for wiping My Activity, so the product is browser automation against dozens of moving UIs with permanent breakage risk. Google shipping a first-party one-click delete (or tightening automation detection) could kill it overnight.

Market · Privacy-conscious consumers; same audience that pays for data-broker removal (DeleteMe, Onerep), which proves subscription willingness to pay in this category.

Pricing · Consumer privacy subscriptions anchor at $129+/year (DeleteMe single-person, Onerep starting tier); Google's own auto-delete settings are the free baseline to beat.

Pros

  • + Genuine unaddressed gap: no verified tool covers all My Activity surfaces in one flow.
  • + Privacy consumers demonstrably pay recurring subscriptions for deletion outcomes.
  • + Scheduled, verified deletion reports give a natural subscription hook.

Cons

  • − No official API: fragile UI automation across dozens of surfaces, constant maintenance treadmill.
  • − Aggressive automation risks Google account security flags, which is fatal for trust.
  • − Google can ship a first-party 'delete everything' toggle at any time.
  • − Built-in auto-delete (18-month default for new accounts) already covers the main surfaces for most users.

The non-obvious risk is not technical but platform-political: anything that automates logged-in Google sessions at scale sits one policy change away from obsolescence, and users will blame the tool, not Google, the first time an account gets flagged. What nobody sells today is the trust layer, a verified, timestamped report of what was deleted from which surface, and that is arguably more valuable than the deletion itself since Google’s own flows are opaque about residuals. A durable version of this idea is closer to a paid “audit plus verified wipe” service than to a set-and-forget dashboard. The 18-month auto-delete default quietly shrinks the addressable pain every year.
