Market Research & Product Factory

You want to build a product but don't know what to build. Or you have a business and need to understand what your customers are struggling with. This workflow uses the Last 30 Days skill to mine Reddit and X for real pain points, then has OpenClaw build solutions to those problems.

What It Does

• Researches any topic across Reddit and X over the last 30 days using the Last 30 Days skill
• Surfaces real challenges, complaints, and feature requests people are posting about
• Helps you identify product opportunities from genuine user pain points
• Takes it a step further: ask OpenClaw to build an MVP that solves one of those challenges
• Creates a full research-to-product pipeline with zero coding on your part

Pain Point

Most aspiring entrepreneurs struggle with the "what to build" problem. Market research traditionally means hours of manual browsing through forums, social media, and review sites. This automates the entire discovery-to-prototype pipeline.
