1
Find rising product ideas
Get a shortlist of trending ideas in a niche, with why each is growing.
Act as an e-commerce product researcher. For the niche [niche] and the [market] market, list 10 rising product ideas. For each, give one line on why demand is growing, a rough retail price band, and how hard it is to copy. Flag any that already look saturated.
Tip: Run it twice with two different niches and compare.
2
Validate real demand
Pressure test a product idea before you order stock.
I want to sell [product] in [market]. Assess real demand: who buys it and the problem it solves, the search and social signals I should check, any seasonality, and three quick tests I can run before I order stock.
Tip: Ask it to rate confidence and name what it is unsure about.
3
Check saturation and differentiate
See how crowded a product is and how to stand out.
Tell me how saturated [product] is right now. List the signals of saturation, roughly how many sellers already push it, three ways I could differentiate through angle, bundle or branding, and whether it is too late to enter.
Tip: Feed it a competitor link and ask for gaps you can own.
4
Price it with duties in mind
Turn costs into a floor price and options that hold margin.
Help me price [product]. Unit cost [cost], shipping [shipping], duty about [duty]%, target margin [margin]%. Work out the landed cost per unit, a floor price, and three price points with the trade-off of each.
Tip: Cross check the landed cost in the duty calculator.
5
Vet a supplier fast
Sharp questions that surface red flags before you pay.
Write 12 sharp questions to ask an Alibaba supplier for [product]. Cover reliability, quality control, MOQ, lead time, samples, certifications and after sales, so I can spot red flags fast. Keep each question short.

6
Write the product listing
A clean title, bullets and keywords, no hype.
Write a product listing for [product] aimed at [audience]. Give a punchy title, five benefit led bullet points, a short description and five keywords. Keep it honest and specific, no hype.
