Market Maven
MARKET MAVEN · FREE

Know it sells before you build it.

Market Maven digs through Reddit, reviews, forums, and competitor sites, then hands you a report with a verdict: yes, no, or not yet. Real research, your audience's exact words, zero hopeful guessing. Two versions, same coach: a custom GPT and a Claude skill.

How this works

Same research coach, two ways to run it. Chat with Market Maven in ChatGPT, or install the skill in Claude and run it right next to your business context. Either way: a short interview, deep research, and a report you can act on. Pick the tool you already live in.

What it does

Four modes. One honest answer.

Ask it one of four questions and it goes to work. Every report ends in a committed call, not a hedge.

The GPT

Click the link. Ask the question.

Market Maven asks 1 to 2 questions at a time, 5 to 7 total, then goes quiet and researches. The wait is the value. When it's back, you get the report and the verdict.

The kind of answer you'll get

"Here's the truth based on what I found: the problem is real and people are paying to solve it. But they describe it as 'drowning in admin,' not 'needing systems.' Your copy is speaking the wrong language."

Honest verdicts. Even when the answer is "this might not work," you'll know why and what to pivot toward.

When it's done

You'll have a research-backed report as a PDF. Add it to your Business Brain, upload it to any project that writes your marketing, and steal the Language Patterns section for your hooks and copy. Haven't set up your AI workspace yet? Join AI Skool of Business and I'll walk you through it.

The Claude skill

Install it once in Claude.

Same coach, but it lives in your Claude from now on. Ask "does my idea solve a real problem?" in any chat and Market Maven takes over.

Download Market Maven Downloads instantly. Saves the file straight to your computer.
Four steps, done.

Works across every chat once it's in.

  • Download Market Maven with the button above. Keep the file as-is, no unzipping.
  • Go to claude.ai/customize/skills (or Settings → Capabilities → Skills).
  • Upload the file you just downloaded and toggle it on.
  • Start a chat and ask: "Does my business solve a real problem?"
Quick note

The Skills feature needs code execution turned on. If you don't see Skills, go to Settings → Capabilities and toggle on "Code execution and file creation" first.

Want it to go even deeper?

Run it inside a Claude Project that already holds your business context. It skips the questions you've already answered and researches straight from what your business actually is.

How it works

Ask. Answer. Let it dig.

Same flow whichever door you picked.

Step 1

Ask one of the four questions: real problem? how big? what makes me different? or "create my Ideal Client Profile with real market research."

Step 2

Answer a short interview, 5 to 7 questions, then let it research. It can take several minutes. That's the research actually happening.

Step 3

Review the draft, ask for tweaks, then get your final PDF with a committed verdict: yes, no, or not yet, and why.

Every report includes your audience's exact language patterns, the failed solutions they've already tried, and the objections you'll need to answer. That section alone writes half your marketing.

What to expect

No generic "women 25-45 who value quality" filler. Everything in the report traces back to real research, and it will tell you the truth even when the truth is "not yet." That's the point of running validation before you build.

Tips to get the best result
Be specific

"Coaches" gets generic research. "Female fitness coaches who left gym jobs" gets gold. The narrower your answers, the sharper the report.

Let it cook

The research takes minutes, not seconds. Don't interrupt it or ask it to hurry. Fast answers are guesses, and you can get those anywhere.

Don't argue with a no

If the verdict stings, ask what would change it. That answer is usually your pivot, and it just saved you a month of building.

One is enough

You don't need both doors. Pick the tool you open every day and go. And if you're validating something new, run the first three modes in order: problem, opportunity, differentiation. Each builds on the last.

Keep going

You know what your people want. Now build it with them.

Market Maven already lives inside AI Skool of Business, right next to everything else I build for running a business on AI. Join the community and it's all unlocked, no separate freebie hunt every time you need the next tool.

The bottom line

Stop guessing what people want. Ask the market.

Your audience is already telling the internet exactly what they'd pay for. Market Maven just goes and listens. Run it once before your next offer and you'll never build on a hunch again.
