AI Opportunity Scout
Find what people need → evaluate if you can build it → decide if it's worth it.
Quick Start
When the user specifies a niche (e.g. "AI agents", "crypto trading", "SaaS tools"):
- 1. Run the scout pipeline below
- Score each finding with INLINECODE0
- Present the ranked report
Scout Pipeline
Step 1: Gather Data (use your built-in tools)
Run these searches, adapting queries to the user's niche:
Twitter (via exec):
CODEBLOCK0
Web (via web_search tool):
- - INLINECODE1
- INLINECODE2
- INLINECODE3
- INLINECODE4
ClawHub (if niche is AI/agent related):
CODEBLOCK1
Step 2: Identify Opportunities
From the raw data, extract distinct opportunities. Each opportunity = a specific unmet need that could become a product. Look for:
- - Repeated complaints/requests (same problem mentioned 3+ times)
- Gaps between what exists and what people want
- Problems with existing solutions (too expensive, too complex, missing features)
- Emerging trends without established solutions
Step 3: Score Each Opportunity
Run the scoring script:
CODEBLOCK2
Or score manually using these criteria (1-5 each):
| Criterion | 5 (Best) | 3 (Medium) | 1 (Worst) |
|---|
| Demand | 50+ people asking | 10-20 mentions | 1-2 mentions |
| Competition |
No solutions exist | Some solutions, all flawed | Saturated market |
|
Feasibility | Build MVP in 1-2 days | 1-2 weeks | Months of work |
|
Monetization | People actively paying for similar | Freemium possible | Hard to charge |
Total Score interpretation:
- - 16-20: 🔥 BUILD IT NOW
- 12-15: 👍 Strong opportunity, worth pursuing
- 8-11: 🤔 Monitor, not urgent
- 4-7: ❌ Skip
Detailed scoring examples: see INLINECODE5
Step 4: Generate Report
Format results as:
CODEBLOCK3
Depth Modes
- -
--depth quick: 2 Twitter + 2 web searches. Fast scan, ~2 min. - INLINECODE7 : 4 Twitter + 4 web + ClawHub. Standard, ~5 min.
- INLINECODE8 : 6 Twitter + 8 web + ClawHub + Reddit deep dive. Thorough, ~10 min.
Tips
- - Focus on problems people PAY to solve, not just complain about
- "I wish..." and "Does anyone know a tool for..." = strongest signals
- Check if existing solutions are abandoned/unmaintained — easy to replace
- Crypto/finance niches: high monetization but also high competition
- Niche down: "AI agent for dentists" beats "AI agent" every time
AI机会侦察员
发现人们的需求 → 评估你是否能构建 → 决定是否值得。
快速开始
当用户指定一个细分领域(例如AI代理、加密货币交易、SaaS工具)时:
- 1. 运行下面的侦察流程
- 使用 scripts/scout.py 对每个发现进行评分
- 呈现排名报告
侦察流程
第一步:收集数据(使用内置工具)
运行以下搜索,根据用户的细分领域调整查询:
Twitter(通过 exec):
bash
bird search [细分领域] need OR wish OR looking for OR frustrated --limit 20
bird search [细分领域] tool OR plugin OR solution --limit 20
网页(通过 web_search 工具):
- - [细分领域] pain points 2026
- [细分领域] tools people want
- site:reddit.com [细分领域] need OR wish OR looking for
- site:producthunt.com [细分领域]
ClawHub(如果细分领域与AI/代理相关):
bash
clawdhub search [细分领域关键词]
第二步:识别机会
从原始数据中提取不同的机会。每个机会 = 一个可能成为产品的特定未满足需求。寻找:
- - 重复的抱怨/请求(同一问题被提及3次以上)
- 现有产品与人们需求之间的差距
- 现有解决方案的问题(太贵、太复杂、缺少功能)
- 尚无成熟解决方案的新兴趋势
第三步:评分每个机会
运行评分脚本:
bash
python3 scripts/scout.py score --input opportunities.json --output report.md
或使用以下标准手动评分(每项1-5分):
| 标准 | 5分(最佳) | 3分(中等) | 1分(最差) |
|---|
| 需求 | 50+人询问 | 10-20次提及 | 1-2次提及 |
| 竞争 |
没有解决方案存在 | 有些解决方案,但都有缺陷 | 市场饱和 |
|
可行性 | 1-2天内构建MVP | 1-2周 | 数月工作 |
|
变现能力 | 人们正在为类似产品付费 | 可做免费增值模式 | 难以收费 |
总分解读:
- - 16-20:🔥 立即构建
- 12-15:👍 强机会,值得追求
- 8-11:🤔 关注,不急迫
- 4-7:❌ 跳过
详细评分示例:参见 references/scoring-guide.md
第四步:生成报告
格式化结果如下:
机会侦察: [细分领域] — [日期]
🏆 前3大机会
1. [名称](得分:X/20)
- - 问题: [人们需要什么]
- 证据: [研究中的链接/引用]
- 评分: 需:[X] 竞:[X] 可:[X] 变:[X]
- 行动: [构建什么,需要多久,如何变现]
2. [名称](得分:X/20)

深度模式
- - --depth quick:2次Twitter搜索 + 2次网页搜索。快速扫描,约2分钟。
- --depth normal:4次Twitter搜索 + 4次网页搜索 + ClawHub。标准,约5分钟。
- --depth deep:6次Twitter搜索 + 8次网页搜索 + ClawHub + Reddit深度挖掘。全面,约10分钟。
提示
- - 专注于人们愿意付费解决的问题,而不仅仅是抱怨的问题
- 我希望...和有人知道一个工具能... = 最强信号
- 检查现有解决方案是否被废弃/无人维护——容易替代
- 加密货币/金融细分领域:变现能力强但竞争也激烈
- 细分再细分:牙医的AI代理每次都胜过AI代理
