Monthly Pain-Point Trend Digest by Email
Once a month, compares this month's mined forum complaints against last month's stored set to surface rising and fading themes.

What it does
Turns ongoing pain-point mining into a month-over-month trend report. It pulls this month's complaints, scores theme volumes, compares them against the prior month held in storage, and emails a digest that highlights what's surging, what's cooling, and what's brand new — with representative quotes for each mover.
When to use it
Use it for a recurring leadership or investor update where the question isn't just "what are people unhappy about" but "what's changing." It frames market sentiment as a trend line instead of a snapshot.
How it works
- 1A monthly schedule triggers the digest.
- 2Apify scrapes the trailing month of complaints from your tracked subreddits and forums.
- 3OpenAI tallies each theme's volume and intensity for the period.
- 4The prior month's tallies are read from a Postgres store for comparison.
- 5A logic step computes deltas and classifies each theme as rising, fading, or new, then persists the current month back to Postgres.
- 6The formatted trend digest is emailed via Gmail.
