What it does

The task

Check if people want this product: idea. Compare search interest for 5 related terms in Google Trends for the last 5 years. Find the products that exist on Product Hunt, Amazon and in search results, with their prices and review counts. Find posts on Reddit and forums where people ask for this product or complain about the current options, and count them. Write a brief of 300 words or fewer: the demand signals, the competition, the gap, and a go, no-go or test-first view with the reasons.

  • It works in Google Trends, Reddit, Product Hunt and Amazon, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.

What you get back

An example run with the example values above. Your run uses your own data.

Demand check: insect-protein dog food for dogs with allergies

Search interest: 'insect dog food' grew 3.4 times since 2021, but is 1/20 of 'hypoallergenic dog food'

Products that exist: 9 on Amazon ($38 to $72 for each 2 kg bag), 2 subscription brands, 1 Product Hunt launch with 140 votes

Asks and complaints: 37 Reddit threads in 12 months; the top need is a single protein with no chicken

Gap: no subscription with a vet-approved allergy plan

Risks: dogs refuse new food; high price

View: test first. Run a pre-order page for 4 weeks before you buy stock.
