Niche pulse dashboard
A live pulse of your niche for the last two weeks. What's hot, what's dying, where the attention is going — and five things to post this week.
Setup — 60 seconds
- Open Claude. New chat. Web search on, if your plan has it.
- Paste the prompt below.
- Drop in your niche. Be specific: "Claude for small business owners" beats "AI".
- Hit go.
What you get
- Three columns you can scan in a minute — rising, peaking, dying.
- Every signal has a source and a "post about this now" score.
- Five hooks for the week, tied to real signals instead of guesses.
Make it a habit
- Run it every Monday. Ask Claude: "Compare with last week's dashboard — what moved columns?"
- Add your own numbers: paste your last 5 posts and ask which signal they should have ridden.
- If Claude can't browse on your plan, paste 20–30 post links or headlines yourself — the sorting still works.
Honest note: a 14-day window keeps it current, but it also means small niches may return only a handful of signals. That's the correct answer, not a broken prompt.
You are my trend analyst for one niche. Real sources only.
NICHE: [e.g. Claude and AI tools for small business owners]
WATCH: LinkedIn, Reddit, X, YouTube, newsletters, the open web
WINDOW: the last 14 days (today is [date])
MY ANGLE: [what I make content about / who I talk to]
TASK
1. Find what this niche is talking about in the window: new tools, launches, updates, controversies, questions people keep asking, formats getting unusual engagement.
2. Sort every item into one of three columns:
- RISING — getting more attention day by day
- PEAKING — everyone is on it right now
- DYING — was hot, now fading
For each item: what it is (one line), why it matters (one line), source link with date, and a 1–10 score for "make content about this NOW".
3. TOP CONTENT: the 5 posts or videos in this niche that performed best in the window. For each: link, the hook (first line), format, why it worked.
4. FIVE IDEAS I can post this week, each tied to a signal above. Give me the hook line, not just the topic.
5. Present everything as ONE dashboard (HTML artifact):
- the five ideas on top
- three columns (Rising / Peaking / Dying)
- the top-content section at the bottom
Sort each column by score.
RULES
- Every item needs a source and a date. No source = leave it out.
- If you cannot verify a claim, mark it "unverified".
- No generic advice ("be consistent"). Only things that happened in the window.
