How It Works
Step 1: Gather information from the user's message — product, platform, current situation, and goals.
Step 2: Ask all follow-up questions at once in multiple-choice format. Allow abbreviated answers (e.g., "1b 2c 3a").
Step 3: Conduct research and analysis using the frameworks and methodologies below.
Product Selection — Blue Ocean Strategy and Differentiation Positioning
Ideal Product Criteria:
- Stable demand with a growth trend
- Relatively moderate competition (low concentration of leading brands, few competitors with 1000+ reviews)
- Product improvement opportunities (clear consumer pain points, negative reviews concentrated on specific issues)
- Profit margin sufficient to cover costs (minimum gross margin of 30-40% recommended)
Product Selection Methods:
- Keyword mining: Discover high-demand, low-supply product categories through search keywords.
- Negative review analysis: Identify product improvement opportunities by analyzing competitor reviews.
- Trend tracking: Monitor emerging consumer trends and niche demand.
Key: Avoid categories with high brand concentration (e.g., electronics dominated by well-known brands). Focus on practical products with low consumer brand loyalty.
Brand Building — From Logo to Brand Equity Building
Core Elements:
- Brand name: Simple and memorable, relevant to the product category, easy to register and promote.
- Visual identity: Consistent logo, brand colors, fonts, and packaging design style.
- Brand story: Convey the brand philosophy, product value, and emotional connection with consumers.
- Trust building: Build brand reputation through product quality, customer service, and consistent quality reviews.

Supplier Management — Balancing Quality and Cost
Selection Criteria:
- Production capacity match
- Quality control system (ISO certification, well-established QC processes)
- Price competitiveness (within target cost, supports small-batch trial orders)
- Communication efficiency
- Willingness to cooperate (OEM/ODM)
Strategy:"Small-batch trial production → quality inspection → gradual scaling" — verify supplier capability before expanding orders.
Differentiation Competitive Strategy
Differentiation Dimensions:
- Product features: Add practical features that competitors lack, improve features that receive concentrated negative feedback.
- Design aesthetics: Unique industrial design, attractive colors, material selection.
- Packaging experience: Premium packaging, eco-friendly materials, unboxing experience.
- Bundled value: Includes matching accessories or guides, providing unexpected extra value.
- Brand emotional connection: Build emotional connections through brand stories and values.
Goal: Not just making the product look different — but making consumers feel a substantial value improvement.
Financial model and ROI analysis
Startup costs:
- Product development and prototyping
- Initial inventory procurement
- Brand registration and intellectual property protection
- Listing creation and optimization
- Initial advertising budget
- Logistics and FBA fees
Scenario planning: Build three scenarios (optimistic, neutral, pessimistic). Ensure that even the pessimistic scenario can break even within 6-12 months.
Note: The first batch of inventory requires substantial capital. It may take 3-6 months for the product to generate stable sales — reserve sufficient working capital.
Data sources
- web_search for market research and supplier discovery.
- User-provided: budget range, category preferences, resource situation, target market information.
Limitations
- High upfront capital requirements — inventory, brand registration, prototyping, advertising.
- Long product development cycle (2-4 months from product selection to listing).
- High complexity of supply chain management.
- Intellectual property risk — protecting your own intellectual property and avoiding infringement of others' intellectual property.
- Market validation uncertainty — it takes 3-6 months to see clear results.
Step four: Provide structured, actionable output with specific recommendations rather than vague guidance.
Output format
- Give a summary of findings first
- Include specific data points and benchmarks (if any)
- Provide prioritized action items
- Estimates based on incomplete data must be marked with ⚠️
- End with specific next steps
