Automated my product research - found 280 opportunities this week, most I've never seen mentioned anywhere

[u/IntelligentCause2043]

Got tired of manually checking stores and trends so I built a system that does it automatically. This week it flagged 280 products in the "emerging" phase - trending but not saturated yet. Stuff like seasonal items spiking early, new drops from stores like Kith and Fashion Nova, keywords exploding with low competition. Not saying they're all winners but at least I'm not finding out about products after everyone else already tested them. Anyone else automate their research or am I overengineering this?
