+# Market Research & Product Factory
+
+You want to build a product but don't know what to build. Or you have a business and need to understand what your customers are struggling with. This workflow uses the Last 30 Days skill to mine Reddit and X for real pain points, then has OpenClaw build solutions to those problems.
+
+## What It Does
+
+- Researches any topic across Reddit and X over the last 30 days using the [Last 30 Days](https://github.com/matvanhorde/last-30-days) skill
+- Surfaces real challenges, complaints, and feature requests people are posting about
+- Helps you identify product opportunities from genuine user pain points
+- Takes it a step further: ask OpenClaw to build an MVP that solves one of those challenges
+- Creates a full research-to-product pipeline with zero coding on your part
+
+## Pain Point
+
+Most aspiring entrepreneurs struggle with the "what to build" problem. Market research traditionally means hours of manual browsing through forums, social media, and review sites. This automates the entire discovery-to-prototype pipeline.
+
+## Skills You Need

+```
+
+2. Run research on any topic:
+```text

+having with [your topic here].
+
+Organize the findings into:
+- Top pain points (ranked by frequency)
+- Specific complaints and feature requests
+- Gaps in existing solutions
+- Opportunities for a new product
+```
+
+3. Pick a pain point and have OpenClaw build a solution:
+```text

+Keep it simple — just the core functionality.
+Ship it as a web app I can share with people.
+```
+
+4. For ongoing market intelligence, schedule regular research:
+```text
+Every Monday morning, use the Last 30 Days skill to research what
+people are saying about [your niche] on Reddit and X. Summarize the
+top opportunities and send them to my Telegram.
+```
+
+## Real World Example
+
+```text
+"Use the Last 30 Days skill to research challenges people are having with OpenClaw."
+
+Results:
+- Setup difficulty: Many users struggle with initial configuration
+- Skill discovery: People can't find skills that do what they need
+- Cost concerns: Users want cheaper model alternatives
+
+→ "Build me a simple web app that makes OpenClaw setup easier with a guided wizard."
+
+OpenClaw builds the app. You ship it. You have a product.
+```
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- This is **entrepreneurship on autopilot**: find problems → validate demand → build solutions, all through text messages.
+- The Last 30 Days skill gives you real, unfiltered user sentiment — not sanitized survey data.
+- You don't need to be technical. OpenClaw does the research AND the building.
+- Schedule weekly research to stay on top of evolving pain points in your market.
