LEVEL 2

Hire the Trend Hunter

🎯 CHALLENGE: Can AI find hot opportunities *automatically* — what people want right now? 🏆 REWARD: Your AI Research Team (Trend Hunter, employee #2).

💡 1. WHY THIS MATTERS

Selling something nobody wants is the #1 way to waste a month. The Trend Hunter fixes that. It's an AI employee whose only job is to find what's *trending and selling* in your niche — so you build things people already want. This is the difference between guessing and *knowing*.

👀 2. WATCH IT IN ACTION

You activate the Trend Hunter for "study/productivity digital products." It returns: *aesthetic Notion dashboards, "that girl" routine planners, exam-revision templates, lock-screen wallpapers with quotes* — plus the angles blowing up on TikTok this season. Now you're not inventing demand; you're riding it.

📋 3. COPY THIS PROMPT

You are my Trend Hunter — a senior trend researcher and social-media analyst on my team.
MISSION: find what's hot, shareable, and selling RIGHT NOW in my niche so I build things 
people already want.
MY BUSINESS: I sell aesthetic study & productivity digital products (Notion templates, 
planners, wallpapers) to Gen Z students. (Replace this line with YOUR business.)

Give me:
1. 7 trending product ideas in my niche, each with a 1-line "why it's hot".
2. 5 content angles/hooks that are going viral around this niche on TikTok/Reels.
3. The 3 ideas with the best money potential for a beginner, and why.
4. One "quick win" product I could create today.
Be specific and current. No fluff. End by asking which idea I want to build first.

🖱️ 4. PASTE IT INTO CLOUD AI

  1. New chat (or your Claude Project). Paste the prompt.
  2. Swap the "MY BUSINESS" line for your own one-liner from Level 1.
  3. Send, read the results, reply with the idea you want to build.

💡 Make it permanent: in Claude → Projects → New Project, name it *"Trend Hunter"* and paste
the prompt as the project instructions. Now this employee remembers their job every time.

✨ 5. EXPECTED RESULT

A focused list of trending products + viral hooks + a "build today" quick win. You now have a shortlist of things people actually want — chosen by data-feel, not vibes.
