The problem it solves

You want to keep an eye on new products in your space, but ProductHunt listings are thin and checking each one against reviews and competitor mentions takes real digging. Doing this consistently across many products is more than you have time for.

Who it fits

Startup analysts, VCs, recruiters, and product marketers tracking new launches.

How it works

  1. A category or search term is submitted
  2. Trending products are pulled from ProductHunt
  3. The system searches Google for reviews, mentions, and context on each product
  4. AI organizes everything into a clear, structured summary
  5. Results are saved to Google Sheets and sent to you
What you get

New launches turned into a quick briefing

Trending ProductHunt launches get researched automatically and organized into a clear summary saved to your spreadsheet.

What you get

A structured summary of new products with reviews and context, saved to a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Bright Data account, a Google Gemini API key, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
