Prompt
I want to validate a new SaaS idea for an AI-powered calendar assistant tailored to freelance graphic designers. Please mine social platforms like Reddit and YouTube for real user comments to see if people actually suffer from this problem. Deliver your findings starting with a clear verdict section covering the demand strength, confidence level, and rationale. Include a table mapping out pain points with exact user quotes and sources, followed by current workarounds, key objections, compelling messaging hooks, and suggested product experiments to test.

Product Demand Research
Overview
Use public social data to understand whether people actually complain about, ask for, buy, hack around, or recommend solutions in a product category. The output should help founders and marketers decide what to build, position, or test.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
validate a startup or product idea
find pain points in a niche
mine Reddit/TikTok/YouTube comments for product ideas
find buyer language and objections
understand alternatives people use today
create messaging from demand evidence
Signals to Extract
repeated complaints
"I wish" / "is there a tool" / "how do I" phrases
workarounds and spreadsheets/manual processes
comparison and alternative mentions
buying intent
objections to existing solutions
exact words people use for the problem
Workflow
Turn the idea into search queries and synonyms.
Search Reddit and relevant social platforms.
Pull comments/transcripts for promising posts/videos.
Cluster pains, triggers, alternatives, and desired outcomes.
Score demand by frequency, intensity, recency, and willingness-to-pay hints.
