What it does

Runs a weekly sweep of the subreddits where your buyers vent, mines the threads for recurring frustrations and feature wishes, groups them into named themes, and ships a ranked product-gap brief to a Notion database — one row per theme with evidence links.

When to use it

Use it when you want a standing pulse on what your market complains about without manually reading Reddit. Good for PMs, founders, and growth teams building a roadmap or messaging from real customer language.

How it works

  1. 1A Monday schedule fires the run.
  2. 2Apify scrapes posts and top comments from your configured subreddits over the past 7 days.
  3. 3A filter drops low-signal items (low score, off-topic, removed posts).
  4. 4OpenAI clusters the surviving complaints into themes, names each, and scores frequency and intensity.
  5. 5The brief is written to Notion as ranked rows, each with a summary, sample quotes, and source URLs for verification.
