Niche Researcher Overview
The Niche Researcher tool helps you discover profitable business niches tailored to your unique background, skills, and interests. This AI-powered tool analyzes your inputs to generate customized research reports that identify market opportunities aligned with your strengths.
What the Niche Researcher Does
The Niche Researcher generates personalized niche recommendations by analyzing multiple factors about your business approach and capabilities. Instead of browsing generic niche lists, you receive AI-driven insights based on:
Your business approach and strategic reasoning
Professional background and expertise
Skills and capabilities
Personal interests and passions
Existing network and resources
Market gaps you've identified
Constraints you need to work within
The tool produces a comprehensive research report with niche recommendations and market analysis customized to your specific situation.

How It Works
Using the Niche Researcher involves a simple multi-step process:
Step 1: Define Your Business Approach
Access the tool from your dashboard sidebar by clicking "Niche Researcher." You'll complete a two-step form starting with:
Business approach: Select your strategy from the dropdown menu
Reasoning: Explain why you chose this approach (required)
Background: Share your professional experience (optional)
Skills: List your capabilities and expertise (optional)
Step 2: Add Context and Constraints
The second step captures additional details to refine your results:
Interests: What topics or industries excite you?
Network: What connections or resources do you have access to?
Market gaps: Have you identified any underserved opportunities?
Constraints: What limitations should the tool consider (budget, time, location, etc.)?
All fields in step two are optional, but providing more detail typically results in more relevant recommendations.
If this is your first time using the tool, a tutorial overlay will guide you through the form fields to help you get started.
Step 3: Generate and Review Your Report
Click "Generate Report" to submit your inputs. The AI analysis typically takes 1-5 minutes to complete. Once finished, you'll automatically see your detailed niche research report.
Your report history appears in a table showing all previous submissions, allowing you to compare different scenarios or revisit earlier research.
