description	PainMap (painmap.io) platform help — an AI market-validation and product-research tool that runs parallel research across Reddit, X, G2, Capterra, and Trustpilot to mine real customer pain points, extract willingness-to-pay (WTP) signals, and comb competitor 1-2 star reviews for market gaps, then generates a product brief with validated features and landing-page copy — on a free tier plus one-time credit packs (credits never expire). Use when running an idea or niche through PainMap, interpreting its pain-point and WTP output, mining competitor negative reviews for unmet needs, deciding between the free runs and paid credit packs, or asking whether it has an API to export or automate briefs. Note: it scans discussed pain, not proven demand. UI-only, NO public API. Do NOT use for the tool-agnostic validate-before-building method or comparing idea validators (use /sales-idea-validation), or ongoing brand/keyword monitoring across social platforms (use /sales-social-listening).

PainMap Platform Help

PainMap (painmap.io) is an AI market-validation and product-research tool — "stop guessing, ship products the market already wants." Instead of an LLM's opinion of your idea, it runs parallel live research across Reddit, X, G2, Capterra, and Trustpilot at query time, mines real customer pain points (with quotes), combs competitor 1-2★ reviews for unmet needs, extracts willingness-to-pay (WTP) signals from natural language, and packages the result as a product brief (validated features, pricing tiers, landing-page copy) in a few minutes. It's grounded in real conversations — a genuine edge over pure-LLM validators — but what it surfaces is discussed pain, not proven demand, and it's a UI-only tool with no public API. Free tier (2 runs/month, no card) plus one-time credit packs (credits never expire).

Step 1 — Gather context

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask only what you can't infer:

1. What do you want from PainMap?
   • A) Run a niche/idea through it and interpret the pain points / market gaps
   • B) Use the WTP signals and competitor-review mining to shape pricing/positioning
   • C) Understand the credit system — free runs vs one-time packs, which pack to buy
   • D) Export or automate the briefs (API / integration reality)
2. What's the real question — "is this worth building?" or "how do I use this tool?" If it's the go/no-go decision or comparing validators, that's /sales-idea-validation — route in Step 2.

Skip-ahead: if the user wants the validate-before-building method, to compare validators across the market, or ongoing brand monitoring, route immediately in Step 2.

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

If the user's question is about…	Route to
The validate-before-building method, or the go/no-go decision itself	/sales-idea-validation {question}
Comparing PainMap against other validators/discovery tools (PainOnSocial, BigIdeasDB, Trend Seeker…)	/sales-idea-validation {question}
Ongoing brand/keyword monitoring across social platforms (not one-shot discovery)
