The Workflow
Crawl Competitor Forums and Reddit
Use Apify or Firecrawl to scrape the latest 100 threads from relevant subreddits or competitor support forums. This is where users are most honest about their frustrations.
Watch out: Don't just scrape for your brand name; scrape for the 'problem' keywords your product solves.
Extract Unmet Needs with Claude
Feed the raw text into Claude. Ask the AI to identify specific feature requests, recurring complaints, and 'magic moments' where users were surprised by a solution.
Watch out: Claude is excellent at pattern recognition. Ask it to 'Synthesize the top 3 core frustrations' rather than just listing everything it finds.
Map Sentiment over Time
Store the AI's sentiment score (1-10) in a database. Compare this month's score to last month's to see if your latest product updates are actually moving the needle.
Watch out: Sentiment is subjective. Use the same model and version (e.g., always Claude 3.5 Sonnet) to keep your baseline consistent.
Identify High-Intent Keywords
Extract the exact phrases and vocabulary users use to describe their pain. This is 'marketing gold' for your SEO and ad copy.
Watch out: Look for 'Low Volume, High Intent' phrases—these are often cheaper to bid on and convert much better.
Publish Monthly Insights Report
Format the findings into a clean PDF or Google Slides deck. Share it with the Product and Marketing teams to inform the next month's strategy.
Watch out: Include direct quotes from the research. AI summaries are good, but seeing the user's actual words builds much more empathy.
