AI Setups That Work

Research the last 30 days of chatter

Tested by AI Setups That Work. Ran on Grok Bot, Oct 30, 2026, without the template: real X and web sources from the last 30 days gave a 3-part brief with links. 6 of 8 named sources were not checked.

What it does

Before you build a feature, pick a price, or write a post, find out what people actually said about the topic in the last 30 days, with sources you can check.

Who it is for

For founders, writers, and builders who need fresh, grounded signal on a topic and want to tell the difference between a real complaint and a repeated talking point.

Tools

Steps

  1. Add the last30days template and run its first-run setup once, including the free credits and sign-ins it asks for. Skip any source you do not want checked.
  2. Ask for one topic in one sentence, and name the window: the last 30 days only.
  3. Read the brief it returns and check at least two of its source links before you act on any claim.
  4. Separate the findings into three lists: repeated complaints, concrete workarounds people shared, and questions the brief could not answer.
  5. Use the brief to pick the next step, such as people to interview or a claim to test, not as proof that a market exists. Volume of discussion alone does not establish demand.

The prompt

Research what people actually said about this topic in the last 30 days: [one-sentence topic]. Check Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub, and the web. Return a grounded brief with three sections: repeated complaints with a source link each, concrete workarounds people shared with a source link each, and questions the sources did not answer. Do not summarize articles older than 30 days, do not invent quotes, and do not claim demand from discussion volume alone. If a source cannot be checked, say so instead of citing it.
