Product Demand Research Overview Use public social data to understand whether people actually complain about, ask for, buy, hack around, or recommend solutions in a product category. The output should help founders and marketers decide what to build, position, or test. When to Use Use this skill when the user asks to: validate a startup or product idea find pain points in a niche mine Reddit/TikTok/YouTube comments for product ideas find buyer language and objections understand alternatives people use today create messaging from demand evidence Signals to Extract repeated complaints "I wish" / "is there a tool" / "how do I" phrases workarounds and spreadsheets/manual processes comparison and alternative mentions buying intent objections to existing solutions exact words people use for the problem Workflow 1. Turn the idea into search queries and synonyms. 2. Search Reddit and relevant social platforms. 3. Pull comments/transcripts for promising posts/videos. 4. Cluster pains, triggers, alternatives, and desired outcomes. 5. Score demand by frequency, intensity, recency, and willingness to pay hints. 6. Produce messaging and product implications. Output Format Common Pitfalls Do not claim market validation from a handful of comments. Do not ignore negative evidence or existing alternatives. Do not paraphrase away the best customer language.
