Auto-Complete Scraper Prompts
These prompts will help you scrape the auto-complete from search bars to find in-demand digital product ideas.
They require using either the Claude or ChatGPT browser extension on Google Chrome in order to work:
Have the respective page open in your web browser with either of these browser extensions open when running the prompt (ex. have Reddit open when using the reddit prompt etc.).
I’ll be doing a deep dive YouTube video on this soon, in the meantime you can see my short form videos on Instagram where I demonstrate using them.
How to Use This Prompt Template
This is a fill-in-the-blanks prompt template.
Anywhere you see [BRACKETS], replace the text inside with details specific to your audience, problem, and goal.
Once you’ve filled in each section, copy the entire prompt and paste it into ChatGPT (or any AI model). The more specific you are when replacing the brackets, the higher-quality the output will be.
You don’t need to add or remove steps, just customize what’s inside the brackets and run the prompt as-is.

Amazon Auto-Complete Digital Product Finder
# Amazon Autocomplete Product Finder
## INPUT
**Niche:** [ENTER NICHE]
## GOAL
Act as a digital product researcher.
Use Amazon's **search-bar autocomplete suggestions** to discover what people in this niche are searching for, then use those searches to find potential digital product opportunities.
The goal is to let **Amazon's actual autocomplete data guide the research**, rather than simply brainstorming ideas.
---
## STEP 1: Search the Niche
Go to Amazon and click the main search bar.
Type the niche exactly as provided, but **do not immediately press Enter**.
Record the relevant autocomplete suggestions Amazon displays.
These suggestions are the primary research data for this task.
Do not invent or assume autocomplete suggestions.
---
## STEP 2: Expand the Search
Explore natural search phrases related to the niche.
Use modifiers that make sense for the niche, such as:
* [NICHE] books
* [NICHE] guide
* [NICHE] journal
* [NICHE] planner
* [NICHE] workbook
* [NICHE] tracker
* [NICHE] log
* [NICHE] checklist
* [NICHE] cards
* [NICHE] chart
* [NICHE] calendar
* [NICHE] recipes
* [NICHE] program
* [NICHE] challenge
* [NICHE] for beginners
* [NICHE] for [AUDIENCE]
Only use phrases that sound like something a real shopper would naturally type into Amazon.
Adapt these searches to the niche rather than blindly using every modifier.
---
## STEP 3: Follow Autocomplete Deeper
This is the most important part of the research.
Whenever Amazon suggests an interesting search, use that suggestion as your next search.
Then analyze the new autocomplete suggestions.
Continue following promising searches deeper.
The process should look like:
**Niche → Autocomplete Suggestion → More Specific Suggestion → More Specific Suggestion**
Continue until you uncover useful information about:
* Problems
* Goals
* Audiences
* Product types
* Methods
* Use cases
* Planning needs
* Tracking needs
* Information people want
Let Amazon's suggestions determine where the research goes next.
---
## STEP 4: Expand Promising Searches
For promising search phrases, try different natural variations.
You can also use alphabet expansion by adding letters after a search phrase:
**[SEARCH] + A**
**[SEARCH] + B**
**[SEARCH] + C**
Continue through additional letters when useful.
This can reveal autocomplete suggestions that were not initially visible.
Do not blindly search every possible variation. Focus on branches that appear most relevant to discovering customer needs or product opportunities.
---
## STEP 5: Find Patterns
Analyze all of the autocomplete suggestions you've collected.
Look for recurring themes.
Pay particular attention to searches revealing:
### Specific Audiences
Who is searching?
### Problems
What are they struggling with?
### Goals
What are they trying to accomplish?
### Tools
What are they looking for to make something easier?
### Planning
What are they trying to organize?
### Tracking
What are they trying to monitor or improve?
### Learning
What information or skills are they looking for?
### Existing Product Types
Are people already searching for planners, journals, books, workbooks, trackers, cards, guides, etc.?
Do not treat every search as a separate opportunity.
Look for **clusters of related searches pointing toward the same underlying need.**
---
## STEP 6: Turn Searches Into Digital Products

* Generators
* AI workflows
**Education**
* Mini courses
* Video courses
* Workshops
* Tutorials
Match the product format to what the searcher appears to need.
Do not automatically recommend an ebook or course.
Favor products that provide a clear shortcut, tool, plan, template, tracker, system, or desired outcome.
---
## STEP 7: Find Bundle Opportunities
Look for several autocomplete searches that could be solved by one larger product.
Combine related needs when doing so would create a stronger offer.
For each potential bundle, explain which autocomplete searches support the different components.
---

Reddit Auto-Complete Digital Product Finder
# Reddit Digital Product Finder
## INPUT
**Niche:** [ENTER NICHE]
## GOAL
Act as a digital product market researcher.
Use Reddit to discover **real problems, frustrations, questions, goals, and unmet needs** people have within this niche.
Then use those discoveries to generate digital product ideas that solve problems people are actively discussing.
Do not simply brainstorm product ideas from your existing knowledge.
Base the recommendations on actual Reddit discussions.
---
## STEP 1: Find Relevant Subreddits
Search Reddit for communities related to the niche.
Look for:
* Large general communities
* Smaller specialized communities
* Beginner communities
* Communities focused on specific problems
* Communities focused on specific audiences
* Communities focused on methods or approaches within the niche
Identify the most relevant and active subreddits.
Prioritize communities where people actively ask questions, discuss problems, request advice, and share experiences.
---
## STEP 2: Find High-Value Discussions
Search within those subreddits for posts and comments revealing customer problems.
Look especially for language such as:
* How do I...
* Does anyone know...
* What is the best way to...
* I'm struggling with...
* I can't figure out...
* I need help with...
* Is there an easier way...
* What do you use for...
* Does anyone have a template...
* Does anyone have a checklist...
* I wish there was...
* Looking for recommendations...
* What am I doing wrong...
* I'm overwhelmed by...
* I'm frustrated with...
* Where do I start...
Do not limit yourself to these exact phrases.
The goal is to find conversations where people reveal **something they want help solving or accomplishing.**
---
## STEP 3: Mine Posts AND Comments
Do not analyze only post titles.
Open promising discussions and read the comments.
Comments can reveal:
* Additional problems
* Why existing solutions don't work
* Common mistakes
* Missing features
* Workarounds people have created
* Tools people currently use
* Complaints about existing products
* Questions people repeatedly ask
* Specific audiences with unique needs
Pay special attention when multiple people agree with a problem or share similar experiences.
---
## STEP 4: Look for Strong Problem Signals
Prioritize problems with evidence of real frustration or demand.
Strong signals include:
### Repetition
The same problem appears across multiple discussions.
### Engagement
Posts about the problem receive significant comments or upvotes.
### Frustration
People clearly dislike the current situation or available solutions.
### Workarounds
People are building spreadsheets, templates, checklists, systems, or manual processes themselves.
### Recommendations
People repeatedly ask for tools, resources, products, or methods.
### Existing Solutions Falling Short
People complain that existing products are:
* Too complicated
* Too expensive
* Too generic
* Missing something
* Difficult to use
* Designed for the wrong audience
* Time-consuming
These can be particularly valuable product opportunities.
---
## STEP 5: Identify Specific Audiences
Look for groups within the niche experiencing unique problems.
Determine whether certain problems are especially common among:
* Beginners
* Advanced users
* Professionals
* Hobbyists
* Specific occupations
* Specific situations
* Specific goals
* Other identifiable groups
Do not invent audience segments.
Only identify audiences when supported by actual Reddit discussions.
A specific audience + recurring problem can be a stronger opportunity than a broad niche problem.
---
## STEP 6: Find Problem Clusters
Do not treat every Reddit post as a separate product opportunity.
Group related discussions into larger **problem clusters**.
For each cluster determine:
**What keeps coming up?**
**Who experiences it?**
**What are they trying to accomplish?**
**Why are existing solutions failing?**
**What are they currently doing instead?**
**What would make solving the problem easier?**
Look for problems that appear repeatedly across multiple posts, comments, or communities.
---
## STEP 7: Turn Problems Into Digital Products
Use the strongest problem clusters to generate simple digital product ideas.
Potential formats include:
**PDFs**
* Guides
* Checklists
* Cheat sheets
* Workbooks
* Resource guides
**Templates**
* Canva templates
* Notion templates
* Documents
* Scripts
* Frameworks
* SOPs

* Planning tools
**AI Products**
* Prompt packs
* AI assistants
* Generators
* AI workflows
**Education**
* Mini courses
* Video courses
* Workshops
* Tutorials
* Challenges
**Bundles**
* Toolkits
* Resource packs
* Template libraries
* Complete systems
Match the product format to the actual problem.
Favor products that provide a **shortcut, tool, template, plan, system, tracker, calculator, or step-by-step solution.**
---
## STEP 8: Find Market Gaps
Look specifically for situations where people have a problem but **do not seem satisfied with the existing solutions**.
These are potential market gaps.
Pay attention to statements showing that people:
* Can't find what they need
* Are combining multiple tools
* Created their own solution
* Think existing products are too complicated
* Think existing products are too expensive
* Want a simpler solution
* Want something designed for their specific situation
* Keep asking the same unanswered question
Highlight these separately because they may represent the strongest opportunities.
---
# IMPORTANT RULES
* Actually research Reddit.
* Base conclusions on real posts and comments.
* Do not fabricate Reddit discussions.
* Include links or references to the discussions you used.
* Read comments, not just post titles.
* Look across multiple relevant subreddits when possible.
* Prioritize recurring problems over isolated complaints.
* Pay attention to engagement and agreement from other users.
* Clearly separate Reddit evidence from your own analysis.
* Do not assume a problem is widespread based on one post.
* Prioritize problems that could realistically be solved with a digital product.
* Do not force every problem into a product idea.

# YouTube Digital Product Finder
## INPUT
**Niche:** [ENTER NICHE]
## GOAL
Act as a digital product market researcher.
Use YouTube to discover what people in this niche are actively searching for, learning about, struggling with, and trying to accomplish.
Then turn those discoveries into digital product opportunities.
Base your recommendations on actual YouTube research—not simply your existing knowledge of the niche.
---
## STEP 1: Research YouTube Autocomplete
Go to YouTube and type the niche into the search bar.
Do not immediately press Enter.
Record the autocomplete suggestions YouTube displays.
Then explore natural variations related to the niche, such as:
* how to [NICHE]
* [NICHE] for beginners
* [NICHE] tutorial
* [NICHE] tips
* [NICHE] mistakes
* [NICHE] step by step
* [NICHE] guide
* best [NICHE]
* [NICHE] ideas
* [NICHE] examples
* [NICHE] tools
Only use variations that sound like natural YouTube searches.
Do not blindly use every modifier.
---
## STEP 2: Follow Autocomplete Deeper
Let YouTube guide the research.
When you discover an interesting autocomplete suggestion, type that suggestion back into the search bar and examine the new suggestions.
Continue following promising searches deeper.
The process should look like:
**Niche → Search Suggestion → More Specific Search → More Specific Search**
Look for searches revealing:
* Problems
* Questions
* Desired outcomes
* Specific audiences
* Methods
* Tools
* Tutorials
* Beginner struggles
* Advanced problems
* Specific use cases
Record the strongest discoveries.
---
## STEP 3: Find Popular Videos
Search the strongest topics you've uncovered.
Look for videos that have attracted significant attention relative to the channel and topic.
Pay attention to:
* High view counts
* Strong engagement
* Videos outperforming the creator's typical views
* Multiple successful videos about the same problem
* Recent videos getting strong traction
* Older videos that continue attracting views
The goal is to identify topics with demonstrated audience interest.
---
## STEP 4: Analyze Video Topics
Study the titles and topics of successful videos.
Ask:
* What problem is this solving?
* What result is being promised?
* Who is the video for?
* What questions keep appearing?
* What topics repeatedly generate views?
* What methods or approaches are popular?
* What beginner topics repeatedly appear?
* What more advanced problems appear?
Look for clusters rather than relying on one viral video.
---
## STEP 5: Mine the Comments
Open promising videos and analyze the comments.
Comments are extremely important.
Look for people saying things such as:
* They still don't understand something
* They have a follow-up question
* They tried something and failed
* They need help applying the information
* They want a template or example
* They want a step-by-step process
* They want a specific tool
* They are confused or overwhelmed
* Their situation is slightly different
* They wish the creator covered something else
* They want the next step
Do not limit yourself to exact phrases.
Look for the intent behind what viewers are saying.
---
## STEP 6: Find Content-to-Product Gaps
Look for situations where **free YouTube content creates demand for a more complete solution.**
A video might explain WHAT to do, while viewers still need help actually DOING it.
Look for opportunities where people could benefit from:
* A step-by-step system
* Templates
* Checklists
* Worksheets
* Trackers
* Calculators
* Scripts
* Swipe files
* Workbooks
* Prompts
* Tools
* Complete examples
* Implementation plans

These are potential **content-to-product gaps**.
---
## STEP 7: Identify Specific Audiences
Look for searches, videos, and comments revealing specific groups with unique needs.
Identify audiences only when supported by actual YouTube evidence.
Look for combinations of:
**Specific Audience + Specific Problem + Desired Outcome**
These can create much stronger product opportunities than broad niche products.
---
## STEP 8: Find Recurring Patterns
Combine the research from:
**Autocomplete + Popular Videos + Comments**
Look for themes appearing across multiple sources.
For each major theme determine:
**What are people searching for?**
**What videos are they watching?**
**What are they still asking about afterward?**
**What problem are they actually trying to solve?**
**What would make accomplishing the result easier?**
These recurring patterns should drive the product ideas.
---
## STEP 9: Turn Patterns Into Digital Products

Potential formats include:
**PDFs**
* Guides
* Checklists
* Cheat sheets

Research Instagram to find **high-performing Reels in this niche** and identify the hooks that are successfully getting attention.
The goal is to discover proven hook patterns we can adapt for our own content.
Do not simply brainstorm hooks from your existing knowledge.
Base the research on actual Instagram content.
---
## STEP 1: Find Top Creators
Search Instagram for creators and accounts producing content in the niche.
Look for:
* Large creators
* Smaller niche creators
* Educational accounts
* Brands
* Coaches or experts
* Fast-growing accounts
Prioritize accounts consistently publishing Reels related to the niche.
---
## STEP 2: Find High-Performing Reels
Analyze Reels from these accounts.
Look especially for **outlier Reels** that performed significantly better than the creator's normal content.
Compare each Reel against the typical performance of that account whenever possible.
Prioritize:
* High-view Reels
* High engagement
* Reels outperforming the creator's normal content
* Similar topics succeeding across multiple accounts
* Recent Reels showing strong traction
A Reel from a small account with unusually high views can be more interesting than a high-view Reel from a massive account.
---
## STEP 3: Extract the Hooks
For every strong Reel, identify the opening hook.
Analyze:
### Spoken Hook
What does the creator say in the opening seconds?
### On-Screen Hook
What text appears on screen?
### Visual Hook
What is happening visually that gets attention?
### Opening Concept
What idea, promise, question, claim, or curiosity gap makes someone want to continue watching?
Quote the hook accurately when it can be determined.
Do not fabricate hooks you cannot access.
---
## STEP 4: Identify Hook Patterns
Look across all of the successful Reels and identify recurring hook structures.
Examples of the TYPES of patterns to look for include:
* Curiosity
* Mistakes
* Contrarian statements
* Surprising discoveries
* Demonstrations
* Before/after
* Lists
* Questions
* Challenges
* Comparisons
* Specific results
* Secrets
* Warnings
* Personal experiences
* Proof
* Simple processes
* New methods
* Calling out a specific audience
Do not force hooks into these categories.
Allow the actual content to reveal additional patterns.
---
## STEP 5: Reverse Engineer Each Hook
For each strong hook determine:
**Hook:**
What was actually said or shown?
**Hook Type:**
What style of hook is this?
**Target Audience:**
Who is it speaking to?
**Core Desire/Problem:**
What does the audience want?
**Curiosity Gap:**
What makes someone want to keep watching?
**Specificity:**
What details make the hook feel concrete?
**Payoff:**
What does the viewer expect to learn or see?
---
## STEP 6: Find Repeatable Hook Structures
Strip away the niche-specific details and turn the strongest hooks into reusable templates.
For example, transform a specific successful hook into a structure such as:
**"[Unexpected thing] completely changed how I [desired result]."**
The template should preserve the psychological mechanism of the original hook without copying the creator's content.
Create templates that could naturally be adapted to other topics within the niche.
---
## STEP 7: Look for Hook Clusters
Identify hooks that use similar underlying structures across multiple successful Reels.
If several creators are succeeding with variations of the same hook mechanism, highlight it.
For each cluster determine:
**Hook Pattern:**
What is the common structure?
**Why It Works:**
What psychological mechanism creates attention?
**Evidence:**
Which Reels use variations of it?
**Best Use:**
What type of content would this hook work for?
**Reusable Template:**
Turn the pattern into a fill-in-the-blank formula.
---
# IMPORTANT RULES

* Clearly separate actual hooks from your analysis.
* Do not simply copy successful hooks.
* Reverse engineer WHY they work.
* Look for patterns across multiple creators.
* Favor recent content when possible.
* Base your conclusions on actual Instagram research.
