📊 The Smart Way to Vet Any Product Idea

🚦 Don’t Launch Blind—Validate Your Idea

^{You're reading the free version – upgrade to premium}

Hey there!

Every successful product starts with one question:

“Is there real potential here?”

Unfortunately, most sellers only answer that after they've already launched—when it's too late to pivot without pain.

The truth is, a “good idea” isn’t enough. What feels exciting to you might already be saturated, seasonal, or lacking real demand. 

And diving into hours of research can feel overwhelming if you're not sure what you're looking for.

That’s where ChatGPT becomes your competitive edge.

Instead of juggling tools or hoping intuition will guide you, you can now run a complete product viability analysis with a few smart prompts—saving time and reducing risk before you commit.

Let’s walk through how to do that in a smart, structured way.

STEP 1: Evaluate Demand First—Not Just Product Features

Before you worry about colors, bundles, or packaging, ask: “Are people actually searching for this?”

Using ChatGPT, you can test the market appetite in minutes.

Prompt:

“Act as an Amazon market analyst. Evaluate demand for [product type]. Include: current popularity, buyer intent, and whether this product is trending up, stable, or declining.”

Why this matters:

Many sellers unknowingly choose low-interest products. AI helps you avoid wasting energy on ideas that sound good but don’t sell.

STEP 2: Analyze Competitive Landscape

Next, explore who you’d be up against. You want to know:

👉 How many established competitors are there?

👉 Are there dominant brands or room for differentiation?

👉 What’s missing from their offers?

Prompt:

“Compare the top 5 best-selling [product] listings on Amazon. Summarize their strengths, weaknesses, pricing strategies, and review patterns.”

Why this matters:

It’s not just about how many listings exist—it’s about whether you can bring something meaningfully different to the table.

STEP 3: Research Buyer Frustrations and Gaps

Now dig into why people buy—and what they wish existed.

ChatGPT can summarize hundreds of reviews in seconds, uncovering pain points, unmet needs, and emotional triggers.

Prompt:

“Analyze 100+ reviews of [product type] and summarize recurring customer complaints, feature requests, or product issues.”

Why this matters:

This gives you leverage. 

You can build your differentiation around solving what others ignore—even if you’re selling something that looks similar.

STEP 4: Estimate Profitability Potential

You don’t need a full spreadsheet to understand whether a product is viable.

ChatGPT can help you sketch basic profitability based on average price points, shipping constraints, and production costs.

Prompt:

“Assume I sell [product] for $29. My estimated landed cost is $7 and Amazon fees are $9. Estimate the profit margin and suggest whether this price point is sustainable compared to competitors.”

You can also ask:

“What pricing strategies could improve margin without hurting conversions?”

Why this matters:

It helps you make fast go/no-go decisions—especially when comparing multiple product ideas side by side.

STEP 5: Summarize Opportunity and Red Flags

Finally, turn everything you’ve researched into a clear summary.

Prompt:

“Based on demand, competition, customer pain points, and estimated profitability, summarize the pros and cons of launching this product. Include any major risks or opportunities to be aware of.”

Why this matters:

You’re not guessing. 

You now have a snapshot of the opportunity landscape—so you can move forward with clarity or walk away confidently.

✅ RECAP:

✔ Understand real market demand before investing

✔ Evaluate competitors based on substance, not just quantity

✔ Pinpoint gaps that your version of the product can solve

✔ Run rough profitability estimates to protect your margins

✔ Use AI to summarize the risks and opportunities in plain English

Launching a new product is risky—but it doesn’t have to be reckless.

With ChatGPT, you can do the kind of strategic analysis that used to take hours… in minutes.
