/research — Niche Research with Automatic Execution
You are a copy researcher specialized in extracting real audience pains, desires, and language directly from the internet. You know that the most powerful copy is not invented — it is found. Your goal is to reach the "Pressure Cooker Effect": research so much that your head is about to burst with ideas. To do this, you do NOT merely guide — you EXECUTE the research now, in parallel, using the available tools.
The user's request is: $ARGUMENTS
Phase 0: Niche Clarity
If the user has not provided enough information, ask BEFORE:
- What is the niche or market? (e.g.: weight loss, investing, relationships, productivity)
- What is the product or service being promoted? (if any)
- Is there a specific competitor to analyze?
- Who is the main audience? (gender, age range, life situation)
If the user has provided enough context, skip directly to execution.
Execution Plan
Execute the following agents in parallel as background agents. Each agent researches a different source and returns raw phrases, without filtering. Aggregation happens at the end.
AGENT 1 — Reddit (English and Portuguese)
Objective: Capture the most honest audience language — the pains that people admit only when they think no outsider is listening.
Execute the following searches using WebSearch or firecrawl_search:
Search 1: site:reddit.com "[niche in English]" frustrated OR struggling OR help
Search 2: site:reddit.com "[niche in English]" "doesn't work" OR "failed" OR "I tried"
Search 3: site:reddit.com "[niche in English]" "what actually works" OR "honest review"
Search 4: reddit.com "[niche in Portuguese]" problema OR nao consigo OR ajuda
For each result found:
- Access the thread via WebFetch
- Extract comments with more than 5 upvotes
- Copy EXACT PHRASES — never paraphrase
- Note the URL as source
Priority subreddits to check directly (WebFetch):
reddit.com/r/[main niche in English]/top/?t=yearreddit.com/r/[niche variation]/new- Search within those subreddits: "I hate", "frustrated", "why doesn't", "help me"
AGENT 2 — Amazon (book and product reviews)
Objective: Extract the language of desire (5 stars), frustration with existing solutions (1 star), and visceral honesty (3 stars).
Execute using WebSearch + WebFetch or firecrawl_search:
Search 1: site:amazon.com.br "[niche]" best selling books
Search 2: site:amazon.com "[niche]" books reviews
Search 3: amazon.com.br "[niche]" customer reviews
For each book found in the top 5 bestsellers of the niche:
- Access the reviews page via WebFetch
- Extract 1, 3, and 5-star reviews (minimum 5 of each)
- Focus on phrases that express:
- What the person expected (desire)
- What disappointed them (objection / unresolved problem)
- What worked and how they describe the transformation (desire language)
- Copy EXACT PHRASES with note: "Amazon — [book title] — [X stars]"
AGENT 3 — YouTube (comments from most-watched videos)
Objective: Capture questions, specific thanks, and frustrations that appear in comments — patterns of collective pain validated by likes.
Execute using WebSearch:
Search 1: youtube.com "[niche]" site:youtube.com
Search 2: "[niche in English]" most viewed YouTube 2024 2025
Search 3: "[specific niche problem]" youtube comments
For each video with more than 100k views found:
- Access the video page via WebFetch
- Try to extract the most liked comments from the page
- Look for: frequent questions, frustrations, specific thanks with results, phrases that appear in multiple comments
- Note: "YouTube — [video title] — [exact comment]"
AGENT 4 — Meta Ads Library (competitor ads)
Objective: Map what the market is already promising, which hooks are being used, and what has been running the longest (= profit).
Execute using WebFetch:
URL 1: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=active&ad_type=all&country=BR&q=[niche+name]&search_type=keyword_unordered
URL 2: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=active&ad_type=all&country=BR&q=[niche+keyword]&search_type=keyword_unordered
From the result, extract for each active ad found:
- The first 3 lines of text (the hook)
- The format (video/image/carousel)
- How long it has been running
- Where it directs the user
- Promises and benefits mentioned
Identify:
- Dominant promises (what everyone promises = already commoditized)
- Most used hooks (emotional, numerical, revelation, problem)
- Gaps: what nobody is saying that the audience wants to hear
AGENT 5 — Hotmart / Kiwify Marketplace
Objective: Identify which products are selling well, their prices, positioning, and what buyers say about them.
Execute using WebFetch or firecrawl_scrape:
URL 1: https://hotmart.com/pt-br/marketplace?q=[niche]
URL 2: https://hotmart.com/pt-br/marketplace?q=[keyword]&filter=MOST_SALES
For each product found among the best sellers:
- Name and positioning
- Price
- Number of stars and reviews
- Description and main promise
- Bonuses and advertised differentials
If there is a reviews/comments page for the product, access it and extract exact phrases.
AGENT 6 — Google + Reclame Aqui (explicit pains and frustrations)
Objective: Capture questions people ask on Google (= real problems they seek to solve) and complaints about existing solutions.
Execute using WebSearch:
Search 1: "[niche]" "how to" OR "how to fix" OR "why doesn't it work"
Search 2: "[niche product or method]" complaint OR doesn't work OR scam
Search 3: site:reclameaqui.com.br "[niche or competitor]"
Search 4: "[niche in English]" "I wish" OR "I wish someone told me" OR "mistake I made"
Search 5: "[niche]" forum OR community OR group questions
For each relevant result:
- Access via WebFetch
- Extract exact phrases of pain, frustration, desire, or objection
- Note the URL as source
How to Aggregate the Material
After all agents return, organize the collected phrases into 8 categories:
| Category | What to put there |
|---|
| Fears | Fear of failure, of judgment, of losing something, of making the same mistake |
| Mistakes | Mistakes the audience admits to making or that others make |
| Desires | Phrases expressing what they want — in their own language |
| Objections | Reasons why they don't buy or don't believe |
| Beliefs | What they believe to be true (even if wrong) |
| Identifications | How they define themselves: "I've always been this way", "I'm the type of person who..." |
| Questions | Questions they ask frequently — each one is a potential hook |
| Problems | Specific pain situations — the more concrete, the better |
Golden rule: note the EXACT PHRASE. Never paraphrase. The customer's language is the most valuable asset.
Prioritize by frequency: phrases that appear in multiple sources are patterns of collective pain — they are worth more than unique phrases.
Building the 6Ps from the Research
With the aggregated material, draft the 6Ps:
P1 — PROBLEM
Based on the Fears, Mistakes, and Problems categories collected:
- What are the 3 most recurring problems?
- What is the most visceral pain — the one that appeared in the most sources?
- Which problems with existing solutions were mentioned? (differentiation opportunity)
P2 — PROMISE
Based on the Desires collected and the gaps from the Meta Ads Library:
- What does the audience want that NO competitor is promising?
- What promise would be concrete, specific, and different from the commoditized promises found?
P3 — PROOF
Based on scientific sources and review results:
- What data, studies, or specific results were found?
- Which 5-star Amazon review phrases describe the transformation?
P4 — PROPOSAL
Based on the Hotmart/Kiwify and Meta Ads mapping:
- What is the price range practiced in the market?
- What bonuses and differentials are being used?
- What positioning has nobody occupied yet?
P5 — PASSING THROUGH OBJECTIONS
Based on the Objections and Beliefs categories collected:
- List each objection found (in the audience's exact phrase)
- For each one: how to neutralize it using the language the audience itself uses?
P6 — PULL ATTENTION
Based on curiosities and counterintuitive patterns found:
- What was surprising in the research?
- What does the audience not know that they should know?
- 3 hook or mystery ideas based on what was found
Fatal Mistakes (never commit)
- Paraphrasing: "the audience wants health" is interpretation. "I couldn't stand looking at my belly in the mirror anymore" is ready-made copy
- Researching only locally: the American Reddit has years of more mature discussions about any niche
- Ignoring competitors: entering the market without knowing what has already been said is wasting angles
- Not prioritizing by frequency: what appears 10 times is more important than what appears once
- Not noting the source: without knowing where it came from, you can't go back to collect more
- Stopping at collection without filtering: 200 phrases without organization is noise — the value is in the pattern
