- 2.14.7
PainSpotter is a database of AI-analyzed business opportunities mined from Reddit, Hacker News and Product Hunt discussions. Data is layered: Category (domain) > Theme (a clustered pain point with trend signal) > Opportunity (a concrete product idea with commercial scores). Suggested flow: call get_overview first to learn the landscape, then list_trending_themes or query_opportunities to drill in, get_theme for market-signal context, and get_opportunity for full detail. For long-form weekly analyses, use list_blog_posts and get_blog_post (free, no quota cost). Tiering: get_overview, get_opportunity, list_blog_posts and get_blog_post are free. query_opportunities, list_trending_themes and get_theme require a Pro plan. When a tool returns an upgrade notice, relay it to the user and point them to https://painspotter.ai/pricing.
