Name a niche or category and get a shortlist of product ideas that are selling now, opening on the strongest lead and its number. Claude reads the sources your channel's buyers act on: for dropshipping, TikTok Shop units sold (US), Meta ads that have kept running 35+ days and whether AliExpress sells single units, and at what price; for Amazon, the Best Sellers charts and how crowded each idea's search is; for Etsy or eBay, that marketplace's own listings; and Google Trends demand and rising searches for everyone. Ideas several sources back rank higher, and each idea says its backing in plain words ("selling on TikTok (4,100 sold) and advertised for 60+ days"). Then each idea is scored against the same thresholds: which ones the data favours, which it is against, and the numbers behind each. After the list, say "go deeper" and it shapes the ideas around what you'd actually sell: your picture of the buyer, two or three directions built from facts already read, and a conversation that narrows to a shortlist.

What you get
- A shortlist of product types with the evidence behind each
- Each idea's backing, named: which sources agree, with the strongest number from each
- Amazon Best Sellers ranks and prices in the category
- TikTok Shop units sold (lifetime, US); sales per day with a second read a few days later
- For dropshipping: Meta ads running 35+ days for the product, and whether AliExpress sells one unit, at the price a repeat buyer pays
- Google Trends direction over the last 12 months
- Optional: how many sellers share each idea's Amazon search and how deep their reviews go
- Going deeper: two or three direction cards (who it's for, demand, the gap with its count, whether a factory can make it at your size, the open question)
- As a watch: a weekly opportunity digest of new rising searches, chart entries and TikTok products speeding up
What it costs
Above $0.05 for one request, or before anything recurring, Claude gives one estimate and waits for your yes; smaller reads just run. Figures are at Bronze, Apify's paid-plan price; lower on Silver and Gold. From 7 November 2026, reads through the data providers (eBay, Etsy, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, Trustpilot, Meta and TikTok ads) cost about twice as much on Apify's free plan, and TikTok Shop product rows and store-technology lookups about one and a half times; Claude quotes both prices when they differ. Every per-result price is on the pricing page.
| Job | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Ideas in one niche (US) | about $0.15 |
| Dropshipping with ads (TikTok, lasting Meta ads, AliExpress single units, Trends) | about $0.26 (about $0.28 on Apify's free plan) |
| Competition check on the shortlist | about $0.005 an idea |
Limits
- TikTok Shop sales are for the US shop only
- Google Trends shows relative interest, not search volume
- A source that wasn't read never counts against an idea; an idea only one source shows says so
- The shortlist is a starting point for research, not a sales forecast
