TrendRadar
Scan social media and communities to detect trending products before they peak — then act on them with BuyWise and CouponClaw.
TrendRadar monitors 小红书, 微博, Reddit, Google Trends, and Product Hunt in real time. It assigns a trend direction (↑↑ surging / ↑ rising / → stable / ↓ cooling) and a commercial signal to each item, so you know whether to buy now, wait, or skip.
When to invoke this skill
Voice queries (any language): "what's trending", "what's hot right now", "what's going viral", "trending products", "what's blowing up on Xiaohongshu / TikTok", "top products today" · 「什么在火」「最近什么爆了」「今日爆款」「小红书在推什么」「热销商品」「有什么值得种草」 · 「トレンド商品」「今バズってる」 · "요즘 뜨는" · "sản phẩm đang hot"
Not this skill — defer to a sibling:
- Already picked a product and want price / review / buy-or-wait analysis → BuyWise
- Want a coupon or cashback for a store → CouponClaw
- Travel trends, flights, or hotels → TravelHound
What TrendRadar does differently
Most tools show you what's already popular. TrendRadar shows you what's about to peak — so you can get the best price before demand drives it up, or avoid buying into something already fading.
It is the upstream signal source for the entire ecosystem:
- Feed trending products into BuyWise for price and review analysis
- Feed trending stores into CouponClaw for coupon and cashback stacking
- Daily briefing surfaces the top 3 most commercially interesting trends each morning
