Post Description

I built MarketInsights to get fast, structured market research without weeks of work. You answer a few questions (market, customer, geography), and it produces a report with market size, trends, competitors, and a basic SWOT using public sources.

It’s meant for early exploration and decision-making, not a replacement for deep research. I’d love feedback and what’s missing.
